|   What is a good 10w oil for Marzocchi? | bikebrain
Aug 1, 2003 2:33 PM | | I would like to go 10w on my Shiver SC, I have been using Golden Spectro 7.5w I tried 10w regular spectro oil in my Z1, and found that it caused the fork to be very sticky. I think the seal conditioners caused seal swelling. I was looking at Maxima oils as they have a cartridge fork oil that is 10w. I would like to stay away from bike specific fork oils, as I think the motocycle fluids are priced better, you get more for your money. I like to change my fork oil at least 3 times per year. Are there any good synthetic fork oils out there that perform like Golden Spectro, but come in 10w????
Thank you,

It doesn't really matter much if it is synthetic or not, although syn oils do tend to be a bit more slippery. A good quality organic oil will perform just as well though. Where synthetic oils really shine is their durability. It takes appreciably longer to degrade the performance of a synth oil. However, as often as you change your oil it shouldn't even be noticeable. Try the Maxima I think you'll find it works quite well. It's my alternate choice if I can't find Golden Spectro.
