blaze_ Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Everybody says "Don't put synthetic oil in your Magura" and when I ask them why they say "Because on the manual says so"! I don't see why I should put mineral instead of synthetic oil when the synthetic is for less cohesion and isn't that better?If someone has rational explanation please stop me from putting DOT4 in my Maggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 it will eat the seals.dont use anything other than mineral oil, wd40, water or vodka in your hs33. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janson Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 haha, ive never done vodka to be honest.water is snappy but doesnt lube the seals. there are literally millions of topics like this, go ahead and give it a search.bottom line: water is fine for warmer temperatures, it may freeze!

JT! Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Vodka? That is weird What is the minus of putting vodka or water?You put vodka in your maggie so that when it eats the seals,and leaks, you can drink it and you'll forget all about your brake troubles.

blaze_ Posted April 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Well I am not gonna ride it under 0 decree anyways so water is the best decision for now! And the best think is that it's free and when it leaks I won't be angry 10x for the advice Janson. You have a beer from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Use water mixed with a little bit of anti-freeze, then it wont freeze even when storing your bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
