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?

What is it about 'odorless mineral spirits' that you do not understand?

Mineral spirits are the correct fluid; I refilled mine recently with
it. Go to Ritchie's website, I found detailed instructions on how to
refill a compass there.
