The risk
The product poses a risk because the brake fluid may be contaminated with mineral oil which causes the seals in the vehicle brake system to expand, affecting their sealing properties. As a result, the driver will have to apply a higher braking effort and the braking distances required to stop the vehicle will consequently increase.
