in General Information.

Notice: Do not use fluid that has a petroleum base. Do not use a container that has been used for petroleum based fluids or is wet with water. Petroleum-based fluids cause swelling and distortion of rubber parts in the hydraulic brake system and water lowers the brake fluid's boiling point. Keep all fluid containers capped to prevent contamination.
