That's funny, because that's exactly what my Ritchi compass was filled
with. So, did the items you read which apparently stated that it was
'aboulutey not the correct fluid' state what WAS correct, or were they
just more baseless and factless opinions, like yours?

Kerosene or clear lamp oil.

Any suggestions for replacing some liquid in my Ritche Helmsman compass.
I
opened the wrong screws and let some leak out. It may contain a light
oil or
glycerin. Is there a filler port on these compasses? Any suggestions
would be
welcome. I would rather not send it back to Ritche as the compass may
get
damaged in shipment and bringing it to a repair place can tie it up for a
while.

From what I have read that is absolutely not the correct fluid to use.
