Evening all.

So can someone tell me what I'm missing.
When I look at one link on the Fox website (a link to manuals) and click on oil volumes I am told I need 25ml each side of 10wt oil
http://www.ridefox.com/fox_tech_center/owners_manuals/010/eng/index.html (3rd entry from bottom on the list)

When I look at a different Fox link and check oil volumes - number 72 on the list shows 30ml of 10wt Green oil each side.
http://service.foxracingshox.com/consumers/index.htm

So which is right? Anyone ever asked this of any of the servicing folks before and had an answer?

Cheers.

Ain't gonna make the blindest bit of difference. It's purely a smidgen of lubrication oil sloshing about in the fork leg.

I use 50ml in each leg. As pp says, it's just for sloshing around inside.

As above quite a bit of room in those so 37.84ml is optimal 😉

In fact, one pair of mine has over 200ml in the leg. But it does have an Avalanche cartridge in there which is amazing.

Onza how much was that out of interest as the bladders for the older FIT cart (bladder at the bottom) are no longer available, so looking for good upgardes to keep peoples forks running as the FIt convertion is £200 ish for the newer cart.
