Is Magura Blood mineral oil?
All MAGURA brakes use low viscosity mineral oil (Royal Blood) as hydraulic medium. Contrary to DOT brake liquid it does not irritate human skin nor damage the paint off your frame. Biggest asset: It does not absorb water and actually lubricates the whole system.
What oil does a clutch use?
If you aren’t sure what reservoir you’re looking at, check your vehicle manual. Tip: Use your vehicle manual to determine what type of brake fluid you should use to fill the clutch fluid reservoir: Dot 3, Dot 4, or hydraulic clutch fluid are the most common.
Can you use mineral oil in Magura brakes?
Magura brakes use mineral oil brake fluid only. Never introduce DOT brake fluid into your Magura brake system. Using the wrong fluid will damage your brake’s internal seals and may result in brake failure or premature wear.
What oil do I use for a KTM clutch?
The correct oil to use is Magura “Blood” Hydraulic Mineral Oil.
Can I use DOT 4 instead of mineral oil?
No, mineral oil and DOT brake fluid are different and are NOT compatible.
What oil do you use for hope brakes?
Hope brakes are designed to operate with DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 brake fluid. These are both glycol based fluids and can be mixed, although it’s advisable to flush the line through with the new fluid to maintain a constant performance. DOT 4 will typically have a lower boiling point than DOT 5.1 and be more viscous (thicker).
Can I use ATF for clutch fluid?
Unlike brakes, clutch hydraulics do not see high temps, so boiling point is not an issue. ATF is specified for hydraulic duty, anti-corrosion, moderate temps, rubber seal compatible, universally available, cheap.
Can you use engine oil for clutch?
engine oil probably works just fine, all you need is an incompressible fluid and brake fluid is probably used for commonality. Brake fluid needs to resist high temps, clutch fluid does not.
Can I mix different brands of mineral oil?
THE ANSWER IS NO! Even if two different brands of oil have the same viscosity, you still should not be mixing them together. Technically, using a grade of oil that’s recommended by your car manufacturer is correct. However, if you combine two different brands of motor oil, you could be at risk of damage.
What can you use instead of mineral oil for brakes?
Alternatives for mineral brake fluid / oil (in a pinch)
- Fork cartridge oil (the lighter (more viscous) variant)
- Total / Castrol LHM Plus Fluid ( I believe it’s power steering fluid)
Can you use brake fluid in KTM clutch?
KTM hydraulic clutches are magura which take some version of mineral oil – I think you have a brake cover installed by mistake on the clutch side. Do not put brake fluid in there.
What is SAE 10 hydraulic oil?
(Free Shipping) Anti-wear Hydraulic Oil 10W is a premium light weight paraffinic based hydraulic oil, ideal for industrial applications or for the hydraulic systems in cold weather regions. It is a rust and oxidation (R&O)-inhibited oil with the added benefit of an anti-wear additive package for protection.
