Word on the street is that john peloquin said:
> How do you replace heavier oil with a lighter one in the dashpots?

1. Unscrew and remove the damper piston/cap from the top of the dashpot.
   (tool required: fingers)
2. Undo the three screws holding the dashpot to the piston.
   (tool required: flathead screwdriver)
3. Remove dashpot and set aside the spring.  Don't stretch or bend it.
4. Turn dashpot upside down over your favorite oil recepticle.
5. Refit and fill with lighter oil.
