I run mine at 105mm, spring out. This equates to 540ml in each leg. If you do a search you should be able to find quite a few posts on this. From memory, my level is a little higher than most. It works fine for me - I am 75kg, stock springs. The oil height affects "bottoming out" characteristics.

When the bike is properly sprung (and revalved, especially in the case of the 45mm Zokes) a better number might be 130mm, with 7.5wt oil filling the legs.

That is what I run. The 7.5W oil is critical in those forks IMO.

You may have to blend some of your own ... almost every shelf brand is offered in 5 and 10 wt.

Spectro 125/150 Cartridge Fork Fluid works fine. Weight is a poor way to compare oils, better to use the viscosity charts. The Spectro is the same as mixing 5 and 10 W Honda oils, which I used to do when there was a Honda dealer in town.
