## Description

Lubricinol provides for very low sliding friction and protects internal components from wear. Temperature stable viscosity provides for constant fork action and terrain compliance for the front wheel. For all front suspension systems, both standard and cartridge. 5wt fork oil is normal service weight for MX applications. Consult owners manual for specific applications. Can be blended for intermediate viscosities.

Review: Great for RV hydraulic jack popping. - If you own an RV and you hydraulic jacks make a popping sound, this fluid solves that problem. The problem is called "stiction" and it comes from the jack slowly lowering and the pop comes from the tiny movement it makes when it jerks down. This fork oil is "anti-stiction", so it treats the oil and the seals resulting in no more popping. Works great for my application.
Review: Good value - Very good oil. Used as an additive in my lippert auto level. Quality is great.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work on hydraulic rv slide out system?**
A: Use specific oil for slides. We use this in the hydraulic system for the leveling system legs

**Q: What's the difference with this and the Zero drag formula racing fork fluid? Looking to overhaul my MTB front fork.**
A: Don't know.I have a 5th wheel RV with the hydraulic leveling system. This stuff stops the "popping" from thermal expansion.

**Q: did anybody actually get the 15wt for this fork lift oil??**
A: Yes. I've gotten 15wt fork oil.

**Q: How much bottles I need to get, to do a r6 front frok maintenance?**
A: It should be enough to service your fork a few times...I use it for my mountain bike (150mm travel with 32mm stanchions)...which only uses 5ml per leg...so one bottle will last me a very long time. Motorcycle forks require a quite a bit more. I use a different weight oil for my Harley, but if I remember correctly it was somewhere between 5-7oz per leg on a showa fork with 42mm stanchions. Check your service manual or look online, but like I said 1 bottle should be more than enough. Also make sure 15w is what you're looking for otherwise it'll make your fork really stiff if it's too heavy. The Harley type E that I use is probably close to a 7.5wt...it's plush and responsive without being divey...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Affordable Fix for Costly Repairs
*by Y***D on May 27, 2024*

I recently purchased the 56901 15WT Standard Hydraulic Fork Oil, and it has been a game changer for me. If I could give this product a 6 out of 5, I would instantly. It has potentially saved me thousands of dollars. What I Liked: - I appreciated that this product helped resolve the popping noises coming from the jack stands on my fifth wheeler. The local repair shop told me that this indicated the tension seals were going out and that fixing it would cost upwards of $400 per jack. With six jacks on our trailer, this would have been a significant expense. - After some online research, I discovered that Lippert recommended this hydraulic fork oil as a solution. - Rather than spending a fortune on repairs, I purchased two bottles of this oil, and the problem completely stopped. - The product performed perfectly without any hassle. It was easy to use and did exactly what I needed it to do. What I Didn’t Like: - Honestly, there’s nothing I would change about this product. It met all my expectations and solved the problem effectively. My Final Thoughts The 56901 15WT Standard Hydraulic Fork Oil is a lifesaver. It solved the popping noise issue with my fifth wheeler jack stands, saving me potentially thousands of dollars in repairs. The oil was easy to use and did exactly what I needed it to do. I highly recommend this product to anyone facing similar issues. It’s an affordable and effective solution that delivers great results.
