Have been running Mobil 1 synthetic ATF in my Dyna for 2 years now. It's about a 15 weight. It's due for a change.

@Yankee Dog
how were you able to determine the weight ratio of this particular lube?
Either link you provided made no reference to that at all.
And again LOL, yet another lube specified for a certain engine compartment being used for a totally different application. Other than what it was designed for.
When did lube, become just lube?
Or was that always the case?
After all, we are discussing fork oil.

I change mine every couple of years, but the stuff coming out looks just like the stuff going in!! Maybe the old is a tad darker.

Mobil 1 TRANSMISSIN FLUID viscosity cst at 40C=36.3 and at 100C=100.4
It's listed in the "technical details" section towards the bottom of the mobil 1 link, and the second link is a "cst to weight" comparison chart.
Tried to cut and paste the info butt wont let me?

First time I went through and changed bushings and seals etc as I wasn't sure about the maintenance.
There was a lot of crud so my guess is it had been awhile if ever.

They go on top of the damper tube and the spring holds them in place. If you do them you need to open the holes in the damper tube to at least 1/4", and there adjustable. I had mine adjusted a little tighter for a bit more dampening...3/4 turn.
