Honestly not sure of the baby oil, but a search shows lots of mechanics and engineers 'allegedly' so don't know. As I have met lots of alleged mechanics who do lots of stuff that is wrong such as using copper ease and red rubber grease incorrectly.
The lhm/lhm+ stuff has similar properties, I think, but then there have been recent batches of comma brand lhm that froze when left outside in the UK, so am a bit concerned.
Tempted to see how Halfords charge for a service, see if they use Shimano oil or the Halfords version.
EDIT liter of the stuff is 14 quid...want to split a bottle? Only have three hydraulic brakes to deal with so maybe a flush and new fluid is a good point.
