Default ~ List to help I D shock oil ~

Here is a list to try and help I D what oil is in your shocks ~
This is not set in stone as differend oils could have been added by well meaning people / Mechanics through out the years.

A FLAT top filler plug ORIGINALLY Identified GLYCERIN Based Fluid
This Fluid will have a FISH ODOR

A RAISED POINTED NIPPLE Shaped filler plug ORIGINALLY Identified MINERAL OIL
This oil will be PETROLEUM BASE and have a OILY ODOR

A RAISED FLAT ROUND CENTER Shaped filler plug ORIGINALLY
Identified CASTOR OIL
This oil will have a VEGETABLE ODOR

HOPE THIS HELPS
