Mineral is not the only thing used in disk brakes. Some manufacturers specify DOT brake fluid. It is most important to use EXACTLY what the manufacturer of the system calls for because using the wrong fluid in a brake system can destroy the seals in the system. This results in leaks and then you can't stop, which would be bad. Find out what your vehicle's brake system needs per the manufacturer and use only that product.

Mineral oil is used in disk brakes because it has low compressibility and high boiling point, which helps prevent the brake system from failing under heavy loads and high temperatures. It also has good lubricating properties that help ensure smooth and consistent braking performance.
