I saw a thread on here earlier about fork oil weight and how it effects suspension resistance. Lighter = softer, heavier = harder. So I'm looking for lighter, as a 6'3" 240lbs guy. None of the auto stores around me sell anything lighter than 20wt oil. So my question is: would it be okay to use automatic transmission fluid as a very light oil instead?
