So, i need approx 135ml of 5 Wt oil for the damper side of my Revelations.
I have a 1l of 10Wt Fox green suspension fluid & some Rockshox Reverb oil which i believe is 2.5Wt.
So what ratio do i need to create 5Wt oil?*
Is it all good to mix Fox & Rockshox oil to create Rockfox?
*i've just finished nights & my brain don't work.

OoooooooO.... Google foo has shown me this:

Is cSt the same as Wt?
If so, 46.5% 10Wt & 53.5% 2.5Wt = 5Wt... yes?
Yeah sort of, the problem is that your 2.5 and 10 will likely be different to the 2.5 and 10 equivalent of the 5 you need. One companies 5W is totally different to anothers... This is not to say don't do it, just that don't be surprised if you end up over / under damped. Luckily with the Moco damper you could just suck out a few CC of oil, add back in the right amount of lighter/heavier depending which way you'd end up and try again.
Cool, thanks Ben. I've got those oils laying around, so i'll give it a go & see how i fare.
I'd get the 2.5 with a splash of 10 and then turn up the damping more. There's usually much more range of adjustment in forks than the difference between weights IME.
