power sterring fluid comparable to what wt. oil

I recently rebuilt my front forks and used Power sterring fluid to refill tubes. It all works good, but I was curious to know what wt. oil is power sterring fluid comparable to.

Something around 10W.

Sounds about right to me...

Why ?

Why ?

Probably either cost or availability???

Probably works fine other than not knowing what the weight is, but around 10wt would be my guess too...

I watched Sean Morley's video on reassebling forks and he used synthetic power sterring fluid, so thats what I used on my fork rebuild and was just curious about the viscosity/weight as compared to oil. I guess you might say "I stand on Sean's shoulders so I can see farther".

Why ?

15 weight for the synthetics we recommend. You can find the weight is the MSDS for that product (do a good search for the product name and MSDS which should get you there). Note that the ratings are usually cold vs hot. The best fluids are those that maintain the most consistent viscosity.
