Good info. It's too bad I can't find the viscosity of the Shimano fluid anywhere. I can agree about the saving $20 on something that will last forever is not a biggie, I just hate the thought of way overpaying for something. Before the switch, MEC in NVan say they could get me a litre of Shimano for $70. I just hate price gouging and $70 is insane for something that costs maybe a a few dollars to produce.
Here you go:
https://si.shimano.com/content/safetydatasheet/HydraulicMineralOil_Eng.pdf
It doesnt specifically call it 'brake oil', but it does say it is 'bicycle hydraulic mineral oil'
Looks like they say the viscosity is about 8cSt vs 18cSt for LHM plus
