Dowty Fork Oils

[Roger Hulett]

Technicalities recommends the following oils for Dowty forks.
Mobiloil Arctic Castrolite Single Shell Essolube 30 Motorine D

My local (in France) motor factor is currently out of stock of any of these, can someone advise a replacement oil. A UK brand will do, as I am sure I can find the equivalent over here.

Would not any straight mono grade 30 do the trick?

Millerol 30 or so?

Or Penrite classic light?

I have used the Miller oil in my Maicoletta forks (1957) for years now and I am perfectly happy with it. I also use it in my Maicoletta gearbox, my Vespa gearboxes, my Flyer gearbox and in the two speeder oil tank, quite versatile stuff ;o)
