Mavic oil change is an essential maintenance task for Mavic mountain bike suspension forks. It is necessary to keep the suspension working properly and extend its lifespan. The oil inside the fork plays a crucial role in damping the movement, providing a smooth and controlled ride. To perform a Mavic oil change, a few tools and supplies are required, including a suspension fork oil, a syringe, an adjustable wrench or socket set, and a clean rag. It is recommended to consult the specific technical manual provided by Mavic for the correct oil type and volume for your specific fork model. The oil change process involves several steps.
The oil change process involves several steps. First, it is important to clean the exterior of the suspension fork to avoid any contamination during the oil change. Then, the front wheel needs to be removed and the fork compressed a few times to release any pressure.

Next, the top cap of the fork needs to be removed using an adjustable wrench or socket set, allowing access to the damper rod assembly inside. The old oil should be carefully drained using a syringe, making sure not to spill any oil on the surrounding components. After draining the old oil, it is time to refill the fork with the recommended suspension fork oil. The oil can be added using the syringe into the designated fork oil port. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the correct amount and viscosity of oil. Once the oil is added, the top cap should be screwed back on, ensuring it is tightened securely. The fork should then be compressed a few times to distribute the oil evenly and remove any air bubbles. Finally, the front wheel can be reinstalled, and the suspension should be checked for proper functioning and smooth movement. Regular Mavic oil changes are recommended at least once a year or more frequently depending on usage and riding conditions. This maintenance task helps to keep the suspension fork in optimal condition and ensures a better performance on the trails..
Reviews for "What to do if you notice a burning smell during an oil change on your Mavic drone"
1. John - 2 out of 5 stars: I recently took my Mavic in for an oil change and was extremely disappointed with the service. Not only did it take them twice as long as they promised, but the oil they used ended up leaking all over my garage floor. I had to bring it back in to have the issue fixed, and even then, I felt like they were not very apologetic or helpful. Overall, a very frustrating experience and I would not recommend their oil change service to anyone.
2. Sarah - 1 out of 5 stars: I had a terrible experience with the Mavic oil change service. The staff was rude and unprofessional, and they seemed more interested in upselling me on unnecessary add-ons than actually taking care of my oil change. On top of that, they did not properly tighten the oil filter, which resulted in a major oil leak. I had to spend additional money and time getting the issue fixed at another shop. I will never go back to Mavic for an oil change again.
3. Lisa - 2 out of 5 stars: I regret taking my Mavic for an oil change at this place. The service was slow and disorganized. They claimed they had a special offer, but ended up charging me more than I expected. The worst part was that I noticed a strange smell coming from my car after the oil change, and upon inspection, I discovered they had spilled oil all over the engine. It was clear that they did not take proper care while performing the oil change. Definitely not worth the time and money.
