I tried to dive into this more because I'm curious now... Oil viscosity might come into play as per this article by Monroe (obviously a manufacturer that wants you to replace your stuff more frequently). Maybe this explains how all the oil could remain in the damper but still not work as well? I'd love to read a more tech article if anyone has one.I read it too but I'm trying to understand the mechanism for the failure and what actually happens to cause a loss of damping is really my question.
