[QUOTE="MCRIDER007, post: 1068078, member: 329"] I think you would be guessing wrong. Oil height is a backdoor way of achieving the correct air space inside the fork after the springs and spacers are added. Heavier springs usually occupy more space than the springs they replace and some manufactures also include spring guides and different spacers....anything new that occupies space inside the fork is going to lower the recommended oil volume, the oil viscosity has nothing to do with the oil volume requirements.
