I have a race a few weeks away and need to replace a part, but dont know what oil to fill it back up with. What oil does the Rocco WC use? All I have is there fork oil. I would normally send it in to get serviced but with my location and time I won't get my rear shock back in time.

Dumb question, shock oil and suspension oil is two different oils right? What does 5wt oil cross over to in the motorcross world? Will need to get it from a motorcycle shop.

Shock oil is generally just a suspension fluid rated for a higher temp. Any of the standard suspension fluids you get in a moto shop will be just fine for a shock. The important thing is to look at the viscosity of the oil in CST, not weight. CST is an ISO measurement and is comparible between brands. Weights are not.

100% accurate.

but the redline 5wt is what you need for a roco (if you go with that brand).
