The workshop manual states that both brake system and clutch system use
SHELL DONAX YB DOT4 ESL fluid.
If the fluid shown is not available, use a
low viscosity DOT4 brake fluid meeting ISO 4925 Class 6 and Land Rover LRES22BF03 requirements.
You can search the net to see the characteristics of these type of fluids.
From my knowledge (but I can be wrong), there is no mineral brake fluid for FL2, as DOT4 is a polyethylene glycol-based fluid, synthetically engineered.
Only a very few vehicles, including Citroen and Rolls Royce, use a mineral or petroleum based (LHM fluids) central hydraulic system, which also powers the brakes. To do this the brake system is fitted with special rubber components that are compatible with petroleum products. LHM is NOT compatible with conventional brake systems, nor are conventional brake fluids compatible with systems requiring mineral oil. Failure to use the correct fluid may result in total brake failure
