IP F.A 20w fork oil MSDS accuracy?

[vo_marz]

Bike i bought was filled with these fluids

and has been a joy to ride for 5000 miles

but when i went to their website to look for data (for an oil change)

the data here:

http://www.ip.gruppoapi.com/component/docman/doc_download/68-ip-fa-sae-20w-sds

shows a 45CST @ 40 deg C


and here:

http://www.tondini.net/Documenti/schede/stIP254x.pdf


shows a 104 CST @ 40 deg C


its not different products as u can see its product ID is

ST2542

in both PDF's


the CST for my working temperature range is going to be bonkers off if the CST is not accurate ( 15-30 degree temps).


Any experts on this, on which CST is a typo?


PS, I cant get the said fluid in my area, but do have access to some gucci ohlins fluids, hence i wanna see if the ohlins are of ok viscosity to be used as a subsitute.

Neither one makes sense, SAE does not specify a 40C viscosity for xW oils. Do a search for SAE J300 which is the SAE viscosity spec (except for gear oils). If you compare their MSDS numbers with the SAE spec, nothing fits.

You might ask the company what the actual viscosity are and how they arrive at their ratings.
