Verified Customer Reviews for Castrol Synthetic Fork Oil
Has never let me down. What more can I say
I purchased MOTUL 2.5w a few months back. Which I found too bouncy for my unadjustable forks.
Hence changed for this.
Much smother damping.
This is definetaly a good base line.
If in doubt check a fork oil viscosity chart!
This is right in the middle in terms of thickness.
Good product and a great price, arrived very quickly a good experience with sportbikeshop will be using again
There are 2 parts to this review. The SBS service and the quality of the product.
Once again SportsBikeShop delivered an excellent second to none service, with the best price and fast delivery.
The oil is of excellent quality as is usual with Castrol oils.
After a fork seal replacement I needed some good quality oil, looked around at Halfrauds Bike shops but way too expensive so looked on SPORTSBIKESHOP to find the high quality Castrol 5w fully synthetic oil at nearly half the price? Ordered 2 and they were with me in a couple of days and in the forks. Super smooth action and the name Castrol speaks for itself. Have a look around and a laugh at the prices then visit SPORTSBIKESHOP and grab quality gear at great value, they will be the 1st place I go to for all my bike stuff from now on!!
This is about the best oil you can put in your forks. The viscosity is a good match for Suzuki L01 oil and Sportsbikeshop had the best price I could find anywhere.
A very good fork oil and for half price compared to Yamaha fork oil. Took some time to research but a very close match in terms of viscosity to the Yamaha fork oil 01. An excellent service from Sportsbikeshop.
Suspension was becoming bouncy and bike felt wayward. Replaced fluid in both forks now working fine feels more planted. I found 500ml was obtained if you let the bottle drain completely. I left it inverted over night.
I've been using Castrol products to service my Rock Shox mountain bike suspension forks for a while now. The 15wt is used for the the lower legs and soaking the lubrication foam washers and the 5wt is used in the damper. Far cheaper than purchasing Rock Shox own oils in tiny containers. I get up to four services out of 500ml bottle of 5wt and loads out of the 15wt.
Fast shipping and great price from Sportsbikeshop.co.uk.
Very good product.
Super fast delivery.
Top quality product at a good price. Different weights available and an easy to use container.
Excellent quality, however they where in slim silver containers upon arrival and the scale on the side is VERY,VERY inaccurate and both bottles I ordered only contained 450ml each instead of 500ml...10% less!! Legal limit for negative error is 15ml for this size container. Trading standards notified, awaiting reply.
