## Description

Lubricinol provides for very low sliding friction and protects internal components from wear. Temperature stable viscosity provides for constant fork action and terrain compliance for the front wheel. For all front suspension systems, both standard and cartridge. 5wt fork oil is normal service weight for MX applications. Consult owners manual for specific applications. Can be blended for intermediate viscosities.

Review: Great for RV hydraulic jack popping. - If you own an RV and you hydraulic jacks make a popping sound, this fluid solves that problem. The problem is called "stiction" and it comes from the jack slowly lowering and the pop comes from the tiny movement it makes when it jerks down. This fork oil is "anti-stiction", so it treats the oil and the seals resulting in no more popping. Works great for my application.
Review: Makes a big difference in ride quality. - I went to numerous auto shops and wasn't able to find this product. Changing the fork oil on my motorcycle made a big difference in the comfort of riding. I didn't realize the important of proper fork lubrication until I used this product. Excellent quality and value for a hard to find product.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work on hydraulic rv slide out system?**
A: Use specific oil for slides. We use this in the hydraulic system for the leveling system legs

**Q: What's the difference with this and the Zero drag formula racing fork fluid? Looking to overhaul my MTB front fork.**
A: Don't know.I have a 5th wheel RV with the hydraulic leveling system. This stuff stops the "popping" from thermal expansion.

**Q: did anybody actually get the 15wt for this fork lift oil??**
A: Yes. I've gotten 15wt fork oil.

**Q: How much bottles I need to get, to do a r6 front frok maintenance?**
A: It should be enough to service your fork a few times...I use it for my mountain bike (150mm travel with 32mm stanchions)...which only uses 5ml per leg...so one bottle will last me a very long time. Motorcycle forks require a quite a bit more. I use a different weight oil for my Harley, but if I remember correctly it was somewhere between 5-7oz per leg on a showa fork with 42mm stanchions. Check your service manual or look online, but like I said 1 bottle should be more than enough. Also make sure 15w is what you're looking for otherwise it'll make your fork really stiff if it's too heavy. The Harley type E that I use is probably close to a 7.5wt...it's plush and responsive without being divey...
