My leaky Fox Forks (circa 2008 RL 32mm serie2) on the Specialized Epic MTB can’t be put off for much longer, as the oil oozes down the fork leg. No scratches or grooves in the stanchions which is a good thing. Looks like just an oil/dust seal replacement. Astroboy Racer can do them for $145 full service, but I just want to do it myself enough to give it a go. Those Enduro oil seals do look great in dust seal blue, regardless of what Fox officially says about how abrasive they are on the stanchions. With suppling the Enduro seal direct for the US prohibitively expensive I suss out what my local dealer can get his hands on for me.
No problems with fork oil, as I still have 10wt fork oil form a previous change, although ‘Fox Float’ oil is a mystery to me (used in the air chamber 5ml), but Google tells me it’s just a form of synthetic gear oil.

Time for the ring around.
