Fork oil change 2013 ultra limited

The online parts diagram shows no difference, but does not give part numbers. I was using the SE Heavy Fork Oil in the 07 but I did a search and other posts say it causes a harsh ride on the later bikes so I guess the valving is different. I am going to try the Belray 15wt.
there is no mention of any fork changes in the my13 tech forum. i have the se heavy, not the se race, in my 2010 and like it. it works great for me. stiff enough to not dive sharply on braking, but not so stiff that it feels like solid fork tubes.

Fork oil change report. Drained forks, 10oz in each, factory fill fluid is red. Changed to SE Heavy Fork Oil. Put 10.5oz in measuring cup (extra .5oz to account for oil loss to funnel and measuring cup). Procedure is the same as prior years. Valving seams to be lighter but most of the dive when braking is gone.

A quick test ride and it feels ok but I'll need a few more miles before I can really make a accurate assessment of the overall performance change. So far I can say the brake dive is slightly reduced and I didn't feel much change in the general ride quality.
