Default Fork oil change

Hey guys,

I've never changed the fork oil on my bike before but it desperately needs some love. I've had the bike for a year, my buddy owned it previously and never touched the forks in the 5ish years he had the bike.

So, I'm planning on changing the bushings, seals and wipers, and oil. My list of stuff to order is as follows:

Tools:

[QTY1]Motion Pro Fork Oil Level Tool
[QTY1]Motion Pro Fork Seal Bullet Tool
[QTY1]Motion Pro Ringer Fork Seal Driver

Parts:
[QTY1]Seals and wipers: 48mm Flex-Fork Seals and Dust Wipers WP/KYB/Ohlins/SACHS (Synergy)
Bushings: Where do I get these?
[QTY2]Oil: Motul Factory Line Synthetic Fork Oil - 5W

I'm aware that I can fashion some makeshift tools, but for the sake of time and simplicity I'd rather just order the real deal and be done with it.

Regarding the parts, I'm up for suggestions. I've read on here that the Synergy seals are the way to go, so I'm fairly certain I'll go with those.

I've no idea where to get bushings

I'm definitely open to suggestions of different brand and weight oils.

Additional info:

Bike:
'03 EC250 w/ Ohlins suspension

Me:
200lbs in the nude

Riding style:
Woods, I'm not terribly aggressive. I'm just getting back into the sport after a several year hiatus. Oh and I'm 26, so...not too dumb but still a little stupid from time to time. Ideally I'd like to get into more technical woods riding, but that's assuming the time is there for me to get to that level. So lets assume a bit of technical stuff but mostly (fairly) quick paced woods.
