Doesn’t matter whether your suspension is Sachs, Ohlins, Nitron or A.N.Other. As well as having an approximately correct spring rate, it’s going to want servicing periodically, the oil passes through many heat cycles, starts to fill up with particles worn from internal bushes and starts to cavitate at which point your damping is £@!&ed. Most manufacturers suggest changing fork oil every 2 years, most owners just don’t.
