Magura Suspension Blood analogues

codfather

Evening all.
I've gutted my poorly Wotans in an effort to determine why they feel like they're full of gravel and as such, need to refill with oil upon reassembly. Magura recommend using their own brand Suspension Bloods (quelle suprise), but provide no information as to the approximate viscosities of Type 2, Type 5 etc. Completely understandable, but I don't fancy paying extra just for a Magura logo on the bottle. Is anyone familiar with the naming system to such an extent as to be able to provide approximate weights for Types 2 and 5? Much appreciated.

When you find out let me know. I was planning on having a look at mine.

I'm tempted to just buy some of both and run them through a viscometer in the lab to get some proper numbers. But that involves unnecessary spending.

Anyone out there with any experience? If not 7.5wt is going in

Oil is too technical for me but this might help a clever person.
