ShimanoHydraulic Mineral Oil
Item # SHI00BG
Enjoy the ritual.
Spending a summer afternoon in the garage changing your brake cables and recharging your hydraulic fluid after a long ride can be an enjoyable maintenance ritual. Preparing your garage for when the occasion arises is easy with a spare set of cables and Shimano's Hydraulic Mineral Oil for Disc Brakes. The hydraulic mineral oil will refresh your Shimano brakes if your fluid becomes contaminated, and it comes with enough to use for multiple bikes, if needed.
- Mineral oil for your Shimano hydraulic disc brakes
- 1000mL bottle should last through many brake bleeds
- Enjoy consistent braking performance between bleeds
- Less damaging to skin and environment vs. DOT fluid

Go with the 1L

After buying about 4 of the smaller bottles over the past couple years, I realized it made a lot more sense to pony up and buy the 1L, even though I only do a full bleed every 6-9 months. Definitely a better economical choice, and you don't have to be as stingy with your bleeds as you do with the small bottles. As others have noted, this stuff works well and is the only thing I'd put in my XT brakes. One odd thing, however, is that this bottle was shipped with less than 1000ml in the container: I didn't see any signs of leakeage in the packaging, so am thinking this might be a common issue.

Bought the big jug so I always have it handy....mineral oil based brakes are the only choice for me...DOT fluid is not as user friendly.

This is A LOT of mineral oil. Unless you're working on a whole bunch of brakes this will last you a long time!

Good stuff
I keep a big jug on hand for all of my family's mountain bike disc brakes. You never want to run out in the middle of a last minute brake bleed.

Good value

- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Compared to the cost of the smaller bottles it makes sense to go for the jug. Nothing fancy here, just the oil you need to bleed your Shimano brakes. I've been an Avid brake user for a long time, it's nice to be on Shimano brakes and be able to bleed using something less toxic than DOT brake fluid.

Lots of oil for bleeding.

What can I say. It's shimano oil, and I've never had an issue with it. I ended up buying a larger jug since it is more economical since I usually end up helping my buddies out with their bleeds.

This bottle should keep your brakes going to the future! Gotta pick one of these up if you run Shimano brakes.

This big ol' jug of mineral oil is a great value compared to the price of the smaller bottles. Buy this if you have a couple bikes in the house. Or if you just have one bike, buy it anyways and offer to bleed all your friend's brakes for a six pack - you'll make out like a bandit!

The smaller bottles are great if you need to bleed an individual brake, but when you've got multiple bikes running Shimano brakes and they're in need of a pre-season bleed, the big bottle is where it's at. Keep the individual bottles for your traveling tool kit.
