I have to agree with Ernest on this one.
After much research I found that Cleveland brakes have a similar war= ning that their seals are compatible with red aircraft fluid (Mil-H-= 5606).
 Originally I thought that any of the modern, high-tech brake f= luids would be better but after reading the instructions I changed my min= d and decided to use what is known to work. If you use other than what is= specified and there is a failure, you can't blame the brake supplier and= it may even invalidate your insurance (if you can get insurance that is)= =2E

Ernest Christley <echristley@nc.rr.com> wrot= e:

Whatever you use, verify that it is compatible = with the brake seals.
For instance the "General Wheel & Brake Inf= ormation" document at:

says:

"All o-rings in the brake and m= aster cylinder assembly are buna nitrile
and are not compatible with = automotive glycol based brake fluid. ONLY
red aircraft fluid (Mil-H-5= 606) or other suitable petroleum-based or
silicon-based fluid should = be used."
