Brake fluid is a type of hydraulic fluid with very specific properties. You would have to check the compatibility of the particular fluid with the components in your system. This would include the cylinders, seals, hoses, and any other internal components exposed to the fluid. The best thing is to use the exact fluid that the system manufacture specifies.
