June 9, 201511 yr I have a Magura slave cylinder for the clutch, be Magura say you can ONLY use mineral oil, Dot 4 will destroy the seals. I am using a Braktec clutch master cylinder, the plastic cap does not have any marking on it, unlike the front brake master cylinder, which has Dot 4 stamped on it. Will mineral oil cause any problems with the Braktec clutch master cylinder seals (I'm assuming it won't as it doesn't contain any acids, unlike Dot 4). I believe some new bikes use mineral oil, but I'm not sure. Any help would be appreciated.
