Bicycle DOT 5.1 Brake Fluid High Performance DOT Oil for SRAM/Hayes/Hope/Formula Hydraulic Disc Brakes,120ml/4.2oz

I previously had Shimano equipped bikes that used mineral oil for brake fluid. We bought 3 Orbea eMTBs with SRAM brakes last year and one of them started getting squishy feeling brakes. We used one of these two bottles to bleed out the brakes and now they feel like they did when they were new. I definitely would recommend using nitride gloves when dealing with this fluid. This fluid worked perfectly and met the specs, but I think it is a little over priced. I did some research and what I found is that you can use the same DOT 5.1 fluid that cars use, so it would be much cheaper at an auto store. The negative about buying in larger containers is that if you open it you cannot store it too long as DOT fluid is hygroscopic and will absorb moisture from the air, so you need to ensure that the bottle is not exposed to air too long. These small bottles are easier to handle and are in portions that are more aligned to single use.
