automec silicone oil
Turbo Mini Forums

Has any body used this oil for there brakes and clutch? If so have you had any problems with it. Cheers.

I dont reccomend it.I tried very hard to get to like it in clutch and brake systems and, to be fair, its still in the clutch arrangement. It was impossible to get a "hard" brake pedal with it, and I bled £50 worth of fluid through the system, trying.Once I went back to Dot 5.1, most of the problem went away. Others may disagree, but I can only tell you what I found.

yes on both counts in my road cars, seems fine in all honesty

Have a look at this for reasons not to use silicone fluid
