35mm Marzocchi forks fluid

[Ed Spear]

How much fork fluid should I use?

[Steve Minor]

Good starting point is: fork leg collapsed, spring removed and fill to 6" from top....weight of oil comes into play.

I picked up some 10 weight fork oil

Hey Ed, next time, buy some automatic transmission oil instead of 10wt fork oil; you can save yourself a few dollars....

The first cc amount is a total disassembly and fill, the second cc amount is just a drain and refill.

I personally don't feel ATF has enough viscosity for MX which is mostly my game.  Felt like it was fine for woods though.  Just my 2 cents.
