Know before you buy
This 20WT Gold oil is specifically formulated for use as a bath oil in compatible Fox forks. Always check your specific fork model's service manual to confirm if Gold oil is the correct fluid for your lubrication or damping needs.
No, this is specifically a bath oil designed for lubrication. You should use the specific damper fluid recommended by Fox for your fork's internal cartridge to ensure proper performance.
The 20WT viscosity provides the specific thickness required to maintain a consistent lubricating film between the stanchions and seals. This reduces friction, which keeps your suspension responsive and prevents premature wear on internal components.
Fox recommends changing your bath oil based on your riding hours, typically every 30 to 125 hours depending on the intensity of your riding and environmental conditions. Regularly replacing the oil helps maintain smooth action and extends the life of your seals.
The 32 oz bottle does not include a measuring tool or specialized pour spout. You will need a graduated syringe or a measuring cup to ensure you add the exact volume of fluid specified by your fork's service manual.
