Halfords sell the oil. Eg https://www.halfords.com/motoring/motorcycling/motorcycle-oils/valvoline-synpower-fork-oil-5w--1-litre Might have other brands

Should be able to click and collect to check stock

As a temporary stop gap you could use rubber washers if you still have the little cup washer the crush washer sits in

15wt for lowers. 5wt for the damper.

I'm sure the Halfords stuff will work fine, might not be that similar in viscosity to Rockshox 5wt though, so might change the damping characteristics a bit.

If you have a motorcycle parts place in town that's open, then you can use the chart further down here to find out something as similar as possible.
