[@carlstanton2550]

When I rode trials, alot of us ran our magura hs33's on water, or water with a drop of anti freeze in winter. It made the breaks less spongy, more responsive, and lighter to pull. You'd get about a year out of the seals, but most trials riders broke a lever or something before then and had to get a new brake anyway! I'd be more than happy to use baby oil in a pinch :)

[@walz1986]

Doesn't some manufactures also use special breakfluids that are basically water with anti freeze and of course some othe viscosity reagents? Like for example SRAM. They normally perform as well as hydrolic breaks with oil. But of course they can freeze and that means they are a bit more sensible to low degrees(The brakes may not work or the water expands below 4 °C and this may damage the tubes). But on higher temperatures water does not expand as much as oil...

[@vicentesaenz560]

I remember doing the same....But I just used anti freeze as it was more common at home than distilled water. I used to grease the pistons from the outside every now and then and seals lasted forever....I also remember scratching and adding waterproofing the rim so it was sticky to the pads. But down slopes the question was what to sacrifice: the hebo shoes or the new brake pads.

Seals and oils must be compatible, or the oils will slowly(or rapidly) soften and expand the seals... and fail at a bad time(usually). What works for a tractor's hydraulics might not work well in cycle brakes, fork oil, differential lube, etc. There's a reason why there are so many different lube formulations, and it's not about making more money(for the vast majority of lubes). It's about application and compatibility. Sure, you can cheap out on maintenance, but why would you do that on something that keeps you out of the trees?

I had the same idea with my tractor's hydraulic system, so I researched it. Proper oils will usually include rust inhibitors and detergents so that they'll cope better with any water contamination that gets into the system. This is honestly a lot more likely on a car or tractor where the reservoirs have lids that just open by hand. Tractors even have quick disconnects to remove front loaders etc, so they're way more likely to get contamination in the oil. On a bike the system is sealed and there's really no reason to require special additives in the oil.

[@simonhorsfield2436]

I've been running pure Mineral Oil (the non-baby formula) for years now, and will say that it holds up as well as name brand brake fluid. But with 1 major caveat. If you're going down a long hill and just riding your brakes, the Mineral Oil does get spongier faster, but I've had Metallic pads loose their friction coefficient and the rotor get red hot even before the brakes became really spongey. Yes, the name brand stuff will last longer, but depending on your riding habits, the Mineral oil off the shelf vs brand name stuff might not even make a difference. But even then, I feel Mineral Oil can be had for so much cheaper than the brand name stuff, that you could probably replace the fluid at least 100 times with mineral oil before getting close to spending the same amount on the brand name stuff. Personally, I've gone through about half of a 16oz (473ml) bottle of Mineral oil at $2, exchanging the fluid pretty much every other month. At that rate, it's still way cheaper than the brand name stuff that usually sells 100ml for $10 or more.

[@sebastianjost]

The thing is: 100ml bottles of Shimano oil cost 10$ 1l containers cost about 15 to 20$. It seems you pay more for the packaging process then for the actual content. So if you buy large enough quantities, the price gets very low too. And even then: you can spend 30-60$ on a dropper lever, 10-30$ on grips and so on... 10-20$ for brake oil isn't that big of a deal. But then again, if other stuff works fine for you, save money if you think it's worth it.

[@tunatony]

You're changing your brake fluid six times a year? Is the fluid breaking down under heavy usages?

[@tigerbalm666]

[@bendenisereedy7865]

After 35 years in the fragrance industry I can tell you that baby oil is only light mineral oil (Shellsol T or similar) with about 0.3% of added perfume concentrate. Quite a lot of that perfume is the carrier that's used to dissolve some of the solid perfume ingredients like vanillin and that's DEP or diethyl phthalate, which is pretty innocuous. Baby perfume doesn't contain any esters or orange terpenes (sold as citrus degreaser) so is unlikely to cause any long-term damage to rubber seals. There will be about 30 - 50 other odoriferous ingredients in the perfume but at an overall dosage of 0.3%, with between 10% and 40% of DEP included, nothing is present at a high enough dose to do any harm. You could use plain light chemist shop mineral oil, 3 in 1 lubricating oil and I daresay even diesel in your brakes. Actually water would be great but we know it boils. Shimano brake oil has a red dye added to justify the high price and there are dozens or even hundreds of different weights of mineral oil available so don't overthink this!

For "mineral" oil brake systems: Use engine oil or (better) automatic transmission fluid ATF (Yes, it is oil). Do NOT use brake fluid in those systems. Engine oil and ATF have additives which protect against corrosion, protects gaskets and O rings and more. They also have high boiling point. Synthetic oil is fine if you have it around, but it is an overkill. Baby oil does not have those additives and I doubt if Shimano's oil have them either. BTW: Some heavy equipment use ATF in their hydraulic system. If the manufacturer specifies brake fluid (DOT 4 usually), which is NOT oil, DO NOT use any oil. If you are considering a new brake system, go for "mineral". Brake fluid (mostly DOT4) is hygroscopic and will cause corrosion over time. It also dissolves some paints, so you don't want it spilled on your precious bike.

Thanks... I have a shop and I have been in situations where I could not get recommended brake oils. So I went shop to shop looking for baby oils with mineral oil content. In this country, you cannot find them!!! And unlike the USA where you can buy mineral oil in many stores, it seems people have never heard of it here! So in my search, I found Vaseline Hair Tonic (Blue) to have the maximum amount of mineral oil... I used it to top-up and it worked like a charm. I still keep it as spare. But now I have plenty of recommended mineral oil at hand AND I just ordered a lot of "cutting board" mineral oil to use as a substitute! Thanks for the video... I have no doubt that baby oil with the highest percentage of mineral oil will work just fine. But as you say if it may not pass some tests, specifically because of concentration (percentage) of mineral oil.

Maybe it was mentioned in the other video, but please do not do this with DOT4 or DOT5.1 brake fluid systems as you will really mess the seals up.

For mineral fluid systems, stick with basic oils in emergencies.

[@hayden_cavanah]

I was just watching the vid of when you filled up your Break with baby oil 😂

[@NVMDSTEvil]

I think your answer is at 6:29. Right on the bottle. I'm not sure that it means the oil itself is absorbing moisture (this, corrosion, or heat is typically what makes brake oil go "bad") but it may be worth some sort of a controlled test. Now given that the system should not be letting air in anyways it shouldnt be an issue if it actually is absorbing moisture, but if it could that wouldnt be good for the system components.

Loose vent screw and I have lost the oil from rear break. Filled with baby oil and it's working. In my country Shimano oil is 12 $ for 100 ml. Thanks for the video.

[@andieen.7426]

just did this today, and my brakes work fine.

He’s gonna need that baby oil now

Welcome to the 2am-4am part of KZbin

[@warn3535]

I have baby oil in my brakes, I’ve had it there for 4000 miles, it is totally safe to do on mineral oil brakes.

The look on Seth's face when he had to use baby oil again

[@filtertheblood]

I was in a pinch and used what i had, 'transmission fluid' in my Magura disc brakes. its thicker which makes it more work to bleed. But works just fine. Zero problems.

"So is it okay to use?" "Well yes, but actually no"

I've got 29x2.60 on my bike and they sound like a swarm of angry bee's when I get up to about 30mph...love it 🙃

[@Duncan23]

I'd say it's safe enough for a "get me home hack" it could come in handy one day

[@iammarkstewart]

I'm not sure how you're in dire straights if you're somewhere with the ability to even open up your brakes to put in new fluid. I'm wondering what example you have that this would be an actual scenario.

[@Duncan23]

@@iammarkstewart most brakes only take a t25 or 1 Allen bolt to add oil and I take a multi tool on every ride. An example I thought that it could come in handy is if I ever develop a leak in my line and lose fluid I could ride to my sisters house and bodge it with duct tape and baby oil to get me home with 2 working brakes. I'd personally prefer that than having only 1 working brake.

[@iammarkstewart]

@@Duncan23 I was going to poke some more holes in this but you do you. Good luck.

[@JakeValicat]

I slam trails, I bleed once a year for good measure. But I’ve had baby oil in my brakes for years, have at it people. $40 CAD for shimano or tektro’s oil, and close to $70 for rockshox, haha.

[@endurotruckererniedesjardins]

Great video. 👍 I been wondering about this for about 20 plus years , back to the magura rim brake days.

[@Tonni1506]

1:39 Well, now that Seth is a father,he can test it out

As a 20+ year rider (now in my 40ties), I dissed slightly on some of the vids here where (much) more attention was given to visuals than technical side. That said, this one is right up my alley - how to cheat BBB (Big Bike Bozos, not the brand BBB). Today dismantled old Italian Brembo... No, Formula Oro K18 brakes and tried to push the piston back to replace pads, wouldn't budge even after 30 minutes of mallarchy, so... I think baby oil it is. Dismantle, clean, fill, bleed. Formula Oro, as far as I've understood, is making also Giant-branded brakes. Thanks for the advice and greetings from Latvia.

i dont even own a bike why is this on my recommended

And I dont own a baby too...

[@bimmerbent]

I think you give the Industry too much credit on "engineering brakes", Im going to put a steel cable in mine.
