Incidentally, you need to check every manufacturer to see the actual viscosity of their fork oil. One company's 5W fork oil is another company's 10W fork oil.



Looking at Verdone's chart, I would estimate fork oil falls roughly into the following classifications.

2.5W is about 10 cSt viscosity
5W is about 16 cSt viscosity
7.5W is about 28 cSt viscosity
10W is about 36 cSt viscosity

Et cetera.
