No, this fluid is specifically formulated for Shimano hydraulic brakes only. Using it with other brands like SRAM can damage your brake system.
It is generally recommended to bleed your brakes every 6-12 months, or whenever you notice a spongy lever feel or reduced braking performance.
When stored properly in a sealed container in a cool, dry place, the unopened fluid should remain stable for several years. Once opened, it's best to use it within one year to ensure optimal performance.

Mineral oil is a petroleum-based fluid that is less hygroscopic (absorbs less moisture) than DOT fluid, making it suitable for specific brake systems like Shimano's. DOT fluid is synthetic and requires different maintenance intervals.
While it's a mineral oil, it's best practice to avoid mixing different brands or types of brake fluids to maintain consistent performance and prevent potential reactions.
