At the bare minimum, do a lower leg service ASAP, as this is the most critical (and more frequently needed) servicing. And pretty easy.

These forks will perform like new indefinitely if you do regular maintenance (especially the lower leg oil changes), or will be toast in a few years if you don’t.
