This is according to Fox's master oil volume chart.įox always used the 7wt for damper and bath oil because of their open bath design,but with their new FIT dampers, they went with the heavier oil in the damper but stuck with the 7wt equivalent for bath oil. The FIT damper oil is the higher viscosity Silkolene/Fox "RED" and the bath oil the lower viscosity Silkolene/Fox "GREEN". It follows that you can use the Fox 10wt "GREEN" in both legs on pre "FIT" damper forks. The Silkolene/Fox "RED" has a higher viscosity than the "old" Torco/Fox 7wt. ![]() The Silkolene/Fox "GREEN" apparently has a similar viscosity to the Torco RSF medium/Fox "old" 7 wt. The "new" Fox ten weight oils(yes there are two!) are probably Silkolene PRO RSF 10wt "RED" and Silkolene 10wt "GREEN" The "old" Fox 7wt is rebranded Torco RSF "Medium" with a viscosity of 31.82 Cst at 40 degrees Celsius. There are tables available comparing the actual viscosities of oils in Centistoke (Cst), usually at a standardized temp. The important thing to remember here is that the "weight" labelled on the the oil bottle does not mean it has the same viscosity as an oil of the same labelled "weight" by another manufacturer.
