Graham Phantom B-44 shipping question


I gotten conflicting opinions on this question. When one ships a Graham Phantom B-44 do you leave the damping fluid in or removed? If removed, how does one remove all dumping fluid and make sure that it is super clean without harming anything?

Selling AND Shipping a Phantom Arm? It is simple, but the bearing cup has to be removed. There is a blue protection cover for it. After that it has an advantage when the fluid has been removed... :-)
I have a graham 1.5 and try to replace the damping oil.  I have tried to order it in two website.  but i still didn't get it after 10 months.  Is there any replacement?  is 600K cst is the best?  Many thanks for your kind advise.

thank you very much.  But I don't whether 600K is good for graham or not.  thanks again
