Default Fork oil weights....B,E,SE

Can someone confirm the weights for the HD fork oil. Is the following correct?

B type = 5 weight
E type = 10 weight
Screaming Eagle = 20 weight

I did a monotube install for a friend and it requires 5oz of 10 weight each leg. All I had on hand was the E type. Hope it's right.

Oil for monotubes is for lubrication only. Weight does not matter.

If you did Progressive Monotube Cartridges, the weight of the oil is not important. It's only purpose is to keep the exterior of the cartridge clean and free from rust.
