Hi, I need to bleed my Tektro Draco brakes and i´ve been searching many LBS but they do not have tektro mineral oil available. Some DO have Shimano Mineral Oil. A guy at a LBS told me i could use Shimano oil w/o problems.
Is there any issue with this or should i just go with the Shimano oil??
Thanks

I've used the Shimano Mineral oil on Tektro's and vice versa. Currently using Finish Line Mineral Oil for servicing brakes that utilize mineral oil.

Zero issues.
