is there another brand of mineral oil brake fluid that will interchange with mf 3405389M2 brake fluid,local dealer is a new Holland dealer now and their brand will interchange but it is way to high priced
 
Do you mean Silicone? DOT-5 stuff. There have been several discussions on here about that stuff. Very good but there are problems. Wait for some others to comment about it.
 
I know what you mean. After reading a lot about 'Mineral oil hydraulique' or whatever it was, on the internet, we decided to just fill the reservoir back up on the MF360 with canola oil. It worked alright up until the boss sold the tractor.
 
Have you looked at Walmart (or equivalent) in the bicycle department? Seems the high end bicycles with hydraulic brakes use mineral oil.

Also the auto supply may have it, some BMW's use it in the power steering.
 
Jeff, no it's not DOT 5. DOT 5 is silicone based, mineral oil is petroleum based.

Completely different stuff, only for use in specifically designed systems with special components compatible with mineral oil. It's not seen very often.
 
Ahhh now it sounds almost like some cheepo brand. At work we use Food grade mineral oil in a lot of the equipment. Comes from Hobart and is like $90.oo per gallon for the air powered pumps in the kitchens. Also use food grade grease and food grade Hydraulic oils. The hydraulic oil stuff is $400.oo per 5 gallon bucket. That is why I asked the question guessing he might not know the difference in oils. Why would they use mineral oil in such a system where there are so many other types of stuff that work as well or better? Only thing is food systems or a contamination problem. What else?
