I just messed up badly what do I do?

[syler]

I just did something really stupid, I went to give my bike an oil top up and I grabbed the wrong oil, fork oil!!!

I didn't put much in, maybe 50ml before I realised what I what was doing and swore very loudly. How bad is this, can I just drain the oil and all will be ok or is this really bad?

[P.]

Drain, refill, ignore.

[Pete.]

Won't do any harm even if you ran it like that. Even old engine oil is nothing like new engine oil when you drain it. People run bikes on oil with water or petrol contamination, or several times past it's service life.

Change the oil if you're worried. No harm will be done.

Thank fuck for that. I will drain it and refill to be sure.

There you go, you see?

Your engine'll just bounce back.

Maybe the OP was distracted as he was on the rebound?

All these puns have probably been a shock to the OP.

Now, now chaps. Let's get back to the original problem.
What effect will it have on the bike? Fork oil.

[Johnnythefox]

Fork off

[Feasty]

I thought he'd bottled it but it sounds now like things can be saved. Oil try not to forkget this thread if the same thing ever happens to me...

Thankfully, all of these fork puns are compressed into one easy to track and reach thread, or else it might get clamped down on by the moderators with suspensions handed out.
