FAQs

What is the recommended service interval?

Follow the motorcycle manufacturer's recommended service interval, or consider a change every 6-12 months for optimal performance, depending on usage.

Can I mix this oil with other fork oils?

It is generally not recommended to mix fork oils from different brands or with different viscosities. Always use the specified oil.

What does the 'W' in 7.5W mean?

The 'W' stands for 'Winter', which indicates the oil's viscosity at low temperatures. Lower numbers indicate thinner oil.

Dispose of used oil responsibly at a recycling center or auto parts store that accepts used oil. Never pour it down the drain or into the environment.

Can this oil be used in rear shocks?

This oil is specifically designed for forks. Consult your motorcycle's manual for the correct oil type for rear shocks.

What are the benefits of using a synthetic fork oil?

Synthetic fork oils provide superior performance, reduced friction, and increased component life compared to conventional oils.
