FAQ

Why does Shimano use mineral oil instead of DOT fluid?

Mineral oil is less hygroscopic than DOT fluid -- it absorbs moisture more slowly -- and is less corrosive to paint, metal, and rubber components. Shimano designed their hydraulic systems around mineral oil from the start, making it the only correct fluid for their systems.

How often should I replace Shimano mineral oil in my brakes?

Shimano recommends replacing the brake fluid as part of regular maintenance, typically annually or whenever you notice degraded brake feel. If you open the brake system for hose replacement or caliper service, a fresh bleed with new fluid is always recommended.

Is 100ml enough for a full bleed?

100ml is typically sufficient for a complete bleed on one or two brake circuits. A standard bleed uses 10-30ml depending on the system, so 100ml provides ample fluid for a thorough bleed with excess for flushing.

Best For

Any rider or mechanic maintaining Shimano hydraulic disc brake systems who needs the correct OEM mineral oil for brake bleeds, fluid top-offs, or post-service refills.
