So that should go into the lowers.

Anyway, they starting leaking oil around the damper side seal a while ago so I figured a service kit from shockcraft would be the way to go (how hard can it be...). The seal kit arrived and ended up in the cupboard while I didnt ride my bike for ages. Now that I have finally got around to riding my bike again, they really need fixing now. So time to watch some youtube videos, look up some fox charts, then get out the bits from the cupboard... Confusion time.
The kit from shockcraft came with a SKF seal kit with foam rings crush washers etc, no problems there. The problem is with the two bottles of oil, and small pillow pack for the air chamber. The big bottle is 'fork oil', the other 'bushing lube'. Presumably the fork oil is the main oil that goes into the open bath at the bottom of the fork, but bushing lube doesn't seem to get a mention in the youtubage or instructions I have read.
On the oil volumes chart http://service.foxracingshox.com/consumers/Content/Service/oil_volumes.htm the fork appears to be a row 27 so I need:
- damper side bath 160mL 10wt
- spring side 30mL 10wt
- air chamber 5mL float fluid
Can someone please help explain where the bushing lube fits into this?

I assume Basic carries the Fox green 10 weight oil and Fox 32 seal kits?

Make sure you clean out the air chamber. FLOAT forks pump the oil from the lowers up into the air chamber so it ends up overfull and limits travel.

And fit a scraper seal so it doesn't happen anymore.
