CAUTION: Never use any type of a petroleum based fluid in brake hydraulic system. Use of such type fluids will result in seal damage of vehicle brake hydraulic system causing a failure of vehicle brake system. Examples of petroleum based fluids are items such as engine oil, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid, etc.
