2. Brake fluid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fluid

   The advantage of the Citroën LHM mineral oil based brake fluid is the absence of corrosion. Seals may wear out at high mileages but otherwise these systems have exceptional longevity. It cannot be used as a substitute without changing seals due to incompatibility with the rubber.

3. Brake bleeding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_bleeding

   Brake bleeding is the procedure performed on hydraulic brake systems whereby the brake lines (the pipes and hoses containing the brake fluid) are purged of any air bubbles. This is necessary because, while the brake fluid is an incompressible liquid , air bubbles are compressible gas and their presence in the brake system greatly reduces the ...

   Mineral oil is used as a laxative to alleviate constipation by retaining water in stool and the intestines. [11] Although generally considered safe, as noted above, there is a concern of mist inhalation leading to serious health conditions such as pneumonia. [12] Mineral oil can be administered either orally [13] or rectally. [14]

5. Hydraulic fluid - Wikipedia

   Under the heat of braking, both free water and water vapor in a braking system can boil into a compressible vapor, resulting in brake failure. [7] Glycol-ether based fluids are hygroscopic, and absorbed moisture will greatly reduce the boiling point over time. Mineral oil and silicone based fluids are not hygroscopic.

7. Hydropneumatic suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropneumatic_suspension

   Mineral oil is hydrophobic, unlike standard brake fluid; therefore, water-vapour bubbles do not form in the system, as would be the case with standard brake fluid, creating a "spongy" brake feel. Use of mineral oil has thus spread beyond Citroën, Rolls-Royce, Peugeot, and Mercedes-Benz, to include Jaguar, Audi, and BMW. [29]
