Clarks mineral oil is apparently a pale yellow but I notice third party bleed kits for Clarks brakes use a red Shimano type oil.

 

Is it ok if the 2 are mixed during a bleed? 

Thanks as always!

I've mixed types before and brakes were fine, I didn't die. (Shimano & some green stuff, can't remember where it was from)

Although if you have enough,  flushing through completely with new oil is probably betterer.
