[size=1.35em]I found this table https://transmoto.com.au/comparative-oil-weights-table/[/size]
[size=1.35em]it shows the viscosity of various fork oils.[/size]
[size=1.35em]you might be supprised at the viscosity of Silcolene rsf15 compared to Yamaha G15 which is Yamaha's 15W fork oil.[/size]
[size=1.35em]I was surprised at how the new ISO standard is being misinterpreted, see below...[/size]
[size=1.45em]Oil Conversion Chart[/size]
[size=1.45em]SAE-to-ISO[/size]
SAE ISO/AW
10W 32
15W or 20W 46
20W 68
30W 100
ISO and SAE are standardized specifications that define oil weight. This ensures that one brand's 30-weight oil is the same viscosity as another's.
This oil conversion chart is approximate.
[size=1.35em]I ended up going by the viscosity value and not what it says on the label.[/size][size=1.35em]the 15W fork oil I ended up buying was the Rock Oil SVI 15 with a viscosity of 48 close to the Yamaha 15W of 47.3[/size]
