Hi.
I'm planning to do a lower leg service on a 2009 Fox Float 130 RL 32 Fork but a bit confused by the Fox sites oil volume levels.
The site indicates:
Damper-side oil bath = 160 ml
Spring-side oil bath = 30 ml
I expect those volumes are correct, but just looking for some reassurance as 160 ml on the damper side seems like a huge amount compared to just 30 ml on the spring side.
Haven't done this service myself before so just a bit nervous.

The damper leg needs 160ml of oil to operate correctly as thats how a damper damps.
The oil in the spring side is more of a lubricant.0 -
Thanks mully79. Figured the volumes were probably correct but just wanted to double check I wasn't misunderstanding it. I watched a maintenance video on a Fox fork and in that they only required 20 ml of fluid on each side.0
