Description
Broadly speaking, hydraulic disc brakes designed for bicycles will use either a mineral oil fluid or an automotive DOT fluid. Genuine Shimano Mineral Oil is the only fluid compatible with Shimano brakes.
When it’s time to service your brakes, it’s also important to use brand-specific parts and bleed tools. Original hoses and hose fittings are just as crucial as the correct fluid.
The correct fluid is your brake’s lifeblood. No matter whose brake you own, use only the fluid authorized by that brand.
