Questions about mineral brake fluid.

[Lonesome7.3]

I have some mineral brake fluid left over from a truck I had that had wet brakes. What would happen if I used this fluid on my conventional brake systems? Could it be mixed with the DOT or silicone stuff I have? What makes it different from other brake fluids? If I cannot use it with what I have, what else is it good for?

I don't have an answer here other than that DOT3 or DOT4 is so damn cheap it's not worth the risk.

I agree, I just do not want this stuff to go to waste.

I'd let it go to waste before I'd use it. It CANNOT be mixed with silicone. Nor would I mix it with other brake fluids

I found this message on several websites:

Note: Conventional brake fluid should not be mixed with mineral oil fluid. Serious damage may result. Consult manufacturer's handbook for details.

Most ATV's that I have owned old and new require DOT 4 I believe. I wouldn't risk it

I suppose I can just drink it then.
