Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this brake mineral oil compatible with Shimano and Tektro hydraulic brakes?
A: Yes — this brake mineral oil is specifically formulated for use with Shimano and Tektro hydraulic brake systems, ensuring correct viscosity, compatibility, and reliable braking performance.
Q: Can I use this mineral oil with DOT fluid-based brake systems?
A: No. This is a mineral oil-based brake fluid and must only be used in brake systems designed for mineral oil (such as Shimano and Tektro). Using it in a DOT-based system (or vice versa) can cause serious damage to seals and components. Always check your brake manufacturer's specifications before servicing.
Q: How much oil do I need for a full hydraulic brake bleed?
A: Typically, a full bleed of one hydraulic brake requires approximately 20–30ml of mineral oil. The 60ml / 2oz bottle provides enough for a complete bleed of both front and rear brakes, with some left over for future top-ups.
Q: How often should I change my hydraulic brake mineral oil?
A: Most manufacturers recommend bleeding and refreshing hydraulic brake fluid every 1–2 years, or sooner if you notice spongy brake feel, reduced stopping power, or discoloration of the fluid. Regular maintenance helps keep your braking system operating at its best.
