Sorry for necro-ing this thread, but would like to ask TS or anyone else who had experience getting their Factory-Stock or OEM absorbers 'serviced' (or more accurately, injected with oil/fluids).

Any indication, based upon your own experience OR experience of those kaki-kereta friends around you, on how long the 'serviced' absorbers would last under normal/usual driving conditions?
Many thanks in advance for your time and response.

So, 3 years after servicing (i.e. injection of new oil), the shock absorbers went kaput and was no longer servicable again, thus requiring replacement?

I am not sure if can service again, probably can by changing the seals and re-inject the oil. I bought adjustable after that but regretted because too hard for me even at softest settings haha.

The next set (3rd set) I mix a bit. Rear I reinject new stock absorbers (harder around 15%) + stock spring and front absorbers I rebuilt my adjustable for comfort + adjustable spring. Bestest setting, lowered, good handling + comfort.
Lasted over 3 years till I sold the car still good.
