The time has come to service my Crossmax hubs and Mavic recommend mineral oil within the procedure. I also have a couple of sets of newish Saint brakes that also use the stuff. Any recommendations for suitable weight mineral oil that doesn't say "Shimano" on the tub & hence cost far more than it should..? Cheers.

I went with the Unipart LHM oil part number GBF6103. Cost about £4 for a litre. Got it from partco in Salford Quays Manchester

Replaced out the old oil on my XT's front and rear and have had no issues what so ever. Done about 300km since doing it and they still feel spot on. Also with having a litre i wasn't too fussed about wasting any oil so made bleeding a hell of a lot easier 😆
