ScotchDave Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 If you want to try baby oil, I recomend checking its boiling point. I have no idea what it is, most likely fairly high, but just check anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anzo Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Baby-oil is water based. Just go to the garage and get some DOT 4 fluid, its about 3 quid or so for a small bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotchDave Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 It'll have to be car mineral oil then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooore! Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 someone mentioned using dot 4 or 5.1. don't do it, it f's the seals & hoses. Citroes suspension oil as used in the bx or whatever it was called is spot on. And when i bought it, it was the same price for 2 litres of that as it was for 100ml of blood oil.
