Because mineral oil is hydrocarbon based there is the possibility over time it will soften paint.
Common glycol based brake fluid will remove paint but silicone based fluid will not. That is why motorcycles mostly use silicone fluid because of the possibility it is spilled on painted surfaces. Its down side as a brake fluid is that it has a lower tolerance for heat so it is not recommenced for high performance driving such as road racing that may require heavy brake use.

The Captain Morgan is working okay except for one slight drawback. I have noticed that I end up having to frog kick instead of flutter kicking when diving because the Captain Morgan causes my leg to draw up in a funny position. And the next morning after diving the reg I have a a headache terrible headache when I get up. Your results may vary.
Out of curiosity, where was this suggested? I don't think I can recall any suggestion such as this without it being called upon.jbrians wrote:It was suggested a year or so back that I could use mineral oil. Not a good idea though.
the rubber, outer seal has degraded and ruptured.
What are the chances of finding a replacement?
