Fork seals grease

Hi all,
I lost the tube of Motorex suspension grease and my Raidon needs some TLC again. Question: is it OK to use Finish Line Teflon grease

instead, to grease the fork seals or should I make a trip to LBS and get the proper stuff?
Thx

What fork, should they be greased or use fork oil....Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

I said Raidon. The Sountour manual is not clear but every other source I found online says use grease.0

Sorry, missed that! That teflon grease will be fine, but I tend to use red rubber grease on Suntours as the seal is a bit iffy and RRG is more water proof.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

Cool, thanks. I think RRG is teflon based as well.0

Sorry to high jack but it is related. Would that grease be ok for a set of Rebas?0

Do you add any 5W oil to fork legs as per Suntour docs or just grease is enough? I added a little last time but is there a point?0

No benefit to not adding it....Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0
