suspension fluid/oil

Does anyone know what kind of oil or fluid is used on the maixima suspension?

Thanks,
Mike

There are no points to lubricate the suspension.

He might be referring to the strut oil found in stock 3rd gen rear strut cartridges. In any case, replacements are all drop-in, no need to "add" more oil. Unless you are really, really poor in which case I have no idea what weight that oil is.

I see, I read the 4dsc.com suspension replacement and in there one of the direction was to save some of the oil/fluid for later. But if that is not needed all the better.

Thanks guys

No, no, you do need a little bit to dissipate heat from the strut insert to the assembly shell. But, there should be a little in there when you take apart the stock strut.
