Default fork spring replacement

[:-]Hi guys, I have a question about the fork springs...I am ordering new springs tomorrow and wonder ifI have to buy new fork oil as well or will the oil currently in the forks be okay? The specs listed with the springs calls for 5 weight and I do not know what is the OEM weight in the front forks...any help would be great..I plan on using nobrakes report to help put them in. thanks. FYI new springs will be .41kg/mm andI weigh 175lbs (hopefully down to 170lbs by Spring)

Fork oil is cheap right? Just change it..... well that's my opinion.

Cracking open the forks. I would change the oil without even thinking otherwise. Changing the fork and shock oil is a maintenance item.

Fork spring question also. I know what size spring I need .46kg but not sure of the rest. I notice numbers like this in front of the 43.2x449mm is this the the diameter and which would be correct for our bikes?
