Never introduce DOT brake fluid into your Magura brake system.
Magura brakes use mineral oil brake fluid only. Whatever your reasons for bleeding your brake set, this article will guide you through the process of bleeding your Magura brakes using our Magura disc brake bleed kit. However there are times when a bleed of the system is necessary - after finding (and fixing) a leak, following brake hose shortening or if air is suspected to be present in the brake system, it will need to be bled out to restore full braking performance. Since mineral oil does not absorb water from the air over time like DOT brake fluid does, the boiling temperature and performance of the fluid will not be affected thus negating the need for an annual bleed of the brake system. This is down to the fact that Magura brakes use mineral oil brake fluid as opposed to DOT fluid. Bleeding your Magura brakes isn't considered a necessary routine chore.
