Step 1: Buy heavier weight oil
Step 2: Perform oil change with said heavier oil as per marzocchi's instructions.
Step 3: Ride bike.

I think it'd be a better idea to have a certified mechanic change the oil. After hearing horror stories about people opening up their 888's and breaking them, I wouldn't chance doing it myself. On top of that, you'd take the chance of voiding the warranty on your fork.

If you really feel inclined to do it yourself, I think taking it into a shop and asking the mechanic to walk you through the procedure would be a good idea. Then you can perform oil changes yourself, properly, anytime you want. Or, wait until a detailed walkthrough on changing oil on a 888 pops up on the net; I've seen some pretty helpful ones on Marzocchi's older forks that many users have followed with success.
