The first thing I noticed was that the oil that came out was in excellent condition and very, very thick. Much more so than the 15w I put back in. There is no noticeable difference in the front end since the change and I wondered if for some reason fork oil thickens up as it gets old?? Mine had been in for at least 35k miles.
Oil would thin out over time, but don't forget you can buy heavier oil than 15w as well.
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
