The reason you don't want to use glycerin is because it's hydroscopic. It absorbs moisture, just like the common DOT 3 brake fluid does. That's why you want to use oil in the shocks, and DOT 5 silicone fluid for collectors cars that set. Be sure to flush and remove all the old stuff first, of course.
