Default Replacing fork oil

I have noticed a possible slight amount of fork oil escaping through the top of the right fork dust seal. I was gonna replace the dust seals and oil seals. My manual says to put 10w20 "fork" oil in the suspension. Is 10w20 fork oil the same as 10w20 motor oil?

Negative southpaw on the correct oil. Engine oil is not meant for hydraulic applications. Although older rides used transmission fluid, hit up your manual for your application.

I am using this on the 10r. (I am not selling this product by no means) Cartridge Fork Fluid by Traxxion Dynamics / Maxima because of the cartridges.

This for all of the other rides that I have. Fork Oil by Traxxion Dynamics / Maxima
