Mark W Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Mat's correct, the Shimano discs do take mineral oil so you're good to go If in doubt, just check the bottle. It'll either say which type of Dot fluid it is, or it'll say "Mineral-based". It's the latter you're after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeCottTrials Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 you should be able to use any liquid i think (stop me if i'm talking crap ), as far as i know if it does corrode your seals it takes a long time anyway but apart from that check whats in the oil and dont do anything stupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
