Where to get oil for Zeb travel change

[RiseCm10]

Hey guys.

Want to change the travel on my zeb and the manual says I need maxima plush dynamic light and heavy.

Really hard to find online and is big money when I only need 2-3ml!

Anyone know where I can get this Local to Bracknell or a shop that can just do it for me? It’ll be cheaper at this rate!

Im just going to the automotive store to get some synthetic 0W30 to do a lower service on my yari. If your zeb uses rock shox ow30 for lower service the same as a yari/lyric, ive been told to just by automotive synthetic ow30. Its just for lubrication. It does go thru any ports for damping

I stick motorcycle fork oil in my pikes. 15w I think, it's only to lube the bushes so no need to be fancy expensive stuff.

Go ahead and get a bottle of it. It sounds like you do your own maintenance. Use 3 ml now, and you'll have a big bottle next time you service your forks, shocks, or seatposts.

Researching the oil on the motorex website I discovered that it is a slideway oil designed to meet the ISO 68K Slideway oil std.
I then found that I could get Shell, Mobil or Castro’s slideway oil to the same spec in 1L bottles from lubefinder. Of the three the Shell Tonna looked to have the greatest load/wear resistance rating.
It's the oil used in the DH38.

Hopefully you can save yourself a fortune with this and get a high performance product:

Shell Tonna S3 M 68 - 1 Litre

Tonna S3 M 68 is a specially designed oil for the lubrication of machine tool slides, tables and feed mechanisms offering superior frictional performance.

I have been using it for 3 year in Lyriks, Zeb and Boxxer with no problems (both legs). Not suitable for the damper leg on Fox because that needs to be compatible with their damper (gets ingested).
