Bicycle (hydraulic) disc brakes use either brake fluid or mineral oil. If you have mineral oil you need to buy the brand of mineral oil sold by the company that makes your brakes. Do not mix brake fluid with mineral oil as total seal failure will result. Do not Mix Magura and Shimano mineral oils as they are not compatible.
