Using these charts you can determine what oil you need for your suspension. We’ve made it much easier for you to determine what oil you need by creating these charts below that show each weight, the viscosity for each weight at 40 degrees celcius and 100 degrees celsius and also the Viscosity index. The important details such as the kinematic viscosity in units of centistokes isn’t usually talked about first. This means that a 5 weight oil could also be something like a 2.5 or a 3 weight oil from a different brand. It is terminology used to describe certain oils, but is non-standardized. The “weight” system is a bit confusing when it comes to identifying oils because it’s not a real unit of measurement. This way, you can compare the numbers of our oil to what else is commonly used, and then correctly choose the right oil for your needs. We wanted to clear this up and show you a couple charts that will help you decide which oil you need, by showing the characteristics of each variation of our oils, biking OEM (original equipment manufacturer) brands, and a popular aftermarket brand in biking. We get several emails asking how to determine what suspension oil weight you need for your bike. Those will inform you of everything you need to know about Oils, Viscosity Index, cSt, Lubricity and much more.
