Put a couple drops of any fork oil on the stanchions of your fork and tell me it doesn’t feel smoother!

Is that not what the spongy bits under the seal are for?

In a garage after the bike has been sitting there for some (over 4 weeks in my case sad face) time giving the seals time to dry out, maaaaybe. But after a few minutes of offroad use when the oil has been sloshed around and you haven't neglected regular servicing? No way.

I'd love to see the difference between the coefficient of friction of a snake-oil lubed seal and one that is just left within its normal lowers servicing schedule. I bet it can't be measured, let alone felt.
