Shimano Hydraulic Mineral Oil 500ml
What Is It?
The Shimano Hydraulic Mineral Oil 500ml is a specialised brake fluid used in Shimano hydraulic disc brake systems. It transfers force from the brake lever to the caliper, allowing smooth, consistent braking performance.
Unlike DOT fluid used in some other systems, Shimano uses mineral oil, which is non-corrosive and gentler on seals and paintwork.
