Relax dude. Any 5wt, 10wt etc will work. You dont need kawasaki oil. Maxima will work just fine. Ill bet you pro circuit uses maxima fork oil in all their customers forks. Its fine.
ATF works well too its very similar to Showa's super expensive oil they call out for their fork. I mean they only designed the system a certain way but WTF do they even know.

Trust me if you put Showa ss19 or race tech 5wt in your forks you will hate them. I did it on both my 2019 crf450Rx and 250rx and both forks were harsh.
Put the A15-00 in and back to plush.
I'm not a pro but I've got 30yrs on bikes and used to do all my own valving and I race 40+ expert moto and offroad still and I keep learning more every year about Suspension!!!!

Every 5wt is slightly different in actual viscosity. It's not like engine oil viscosity.
