Anybody else notice the discrepancies in the Fox 40 manual (online)???

The oil change procedure indicates to use 40CC's of oil in each leg, but the volume chart says 50 cc's each leg (the 09 service section).

So which is it??? Thanks Beer

Per the shop maintenance manual, it is 50cc's.

Throwing a few cents in here for what they're worth. Ignore the manual. I always found in all the years of running 40's that 100-120ml of 15wt in each leg was the most effective at forcing oil up through the grooves in the bushes when running through the travel. The bushes are designed to run wet and the greater oil volume allows this to happen properly.
