    Magura markets Magura Blood. Castrol makes it too and you might be able to find it at a Jag dealer. Spectro makes it too. You can use the mineral oil you can buy at the pharmacy in a pinch too.

    Been using ATF for years. Works great, easy to find, and I believe recommended by Enduro Engineering if not mistaken.

    ATF here too. Never a problem and readily available.

    A couple of week ago I needed some for my hydro clutch at 1AM Saturday night - I went to the 24 hr "Food Barn", lo and behold right next to the reclaimed 30wt bottles of oil I found the ATF (Chevron).

    I'll bet your local Piggly Wiggly, King Cole, Safeway or Food4Less markets have them too!

    I have 2.5wt shock oil in mine right now and it works great. It actually feels better than it did with OE stuff in it.

    I bought some Castrol Jag mineral oil, but haven't switched it over yet. But, knowing what I know now, I wouldn't have bothered hunting down the mineral oil.

    Blueberry scented massage oil from Madam Sahara's XXX barn works in a pinch too. Don't ask me how I know this.:smirk:

    So, it is a complete removal of one fluid, and a replacement of another?
    ATF
    Singer sewing machine oil
    2.5wt. fork oil
    Mineral oil
    Your choice...

    How does the ATF make it feel?

    I've got some Castrol Transmax Z at home, its full synthetic aswell, think its a 0W - 20 weight oil.

    "Where's the last of your massage oil gone? Well, you're not gonna believe this, but I had to use it on my Husky... Hey, what's with the gimp mask? Aaaaaaaargh!" etc.

    Hey, let's be careful out there!

    Putoline make "Mineral Clutch Fluid" which they specifically say is suitable for Magura clutches. Costs about £3.50 ($5-6) for 100ml here which is at least cheaper than Blood.

    Probably not as much fun to use as madame sahara's finest, mind you. :banana:
