Can you use any kind of mineral oil or do u have to use Magura's mineral oil?

The mineral oil from the grocery store works perfect unless is below freezing then they get a little sluggish.

You can use Baby Oil (which is mineral oil with a scent) from the grocery store if you can't find anything local around you and yes i've used it before.

You can also use plain ole ATF. I have used baby oil with no problems but like already stated can cause problems in cold weather.

Or: 10wt hydraulic jack oil.
10wt or 5 wt Fork oil.
MOTOREX HYDRAULIC FLUID 75.

Well this sucks. I waited a couple days and paid a ridiculous price for "magura blood" when I had a quart bottle of fork oil sitting right on the shelf.....I guess this is good to know for next time.
