Have Tech forks on a 2015 motorcycle. I completely disassembled the forks and changed oil 11 months ago. Do I need disasembly and clean it again or just opening the cap and draining old oil and putting new is ok?

Which oil you prefer? 5w or 7,5w?

Any old oil in the cartridge in techs will be mixed with the majority of new oil added during the oil change. I'm not going to completely disassemble the cartridge for the sake of 50mL of oil. On Marzocchis I agree, you have no choice but to drain the cartridge, but on techs I haven't found that to be the case. 

I could always be wrong...
