Thats awesome, i've never thought to do that. I've been wanting to try to the 20w since you brought it up stitch. I'm still using atf in mine since i put the new seals in a little while ago.
Only thing you would need is to teflon tape the screw or get an o-ring to seal it.
Sounds like a pretty simple option.
But then honestly, how often is it that you need to change fork oil. I mean once the seals are replaced..... There's really no need to fill them again till they start leaking correct
I just use the bigass socket trick. Makes it much easier to put on. Don't remeber the size but I fought for at least 40 mins and gave up. Got a big 1/2 socket and it took 5 seconds.
