Why motul ? Any particular reason besides brand name ?
I have nothing against motul they make a good product just curious

Some setups require a certain brand because even though two manufacturers have their fork oil marked as the same weight it actually isn't. I know my ktech setup specifies motul.

Ah ok, I ran motul in my ohlins internals for 2 yrs. switched to Amsoil this year. So far I like it suspension seems smoother through full travel. I will find out whether my fork seals agree. After round 1.

It shouldn't affect your seals at all but the way it flows through the shim stack will be altered.

My poor bike was eating seals like crazy. (5 sets 1 yr) had to go back to OEM Seals to stop the problem. This OEM set has lasted almost 1 yr. (pretty excited). My forks didn't like aftermarket. Always leaked or blew out.

Oem all the way for fork seals.
 
I purchased two bottles of fork fluid from Kahuna and of course, one was the Motul factory line and the other was Motul Expert. I used the factory line in one fork and I realized the other was different based on the colour of the oil and didn't want to mix.

Both bottles looked similar......
