I took some engine oil and some brake fluid in for recycling to the local municipal recycling centre. The staff there poured the brake fluid in with the engine oil which surprised me. When I questioned them about it they said the company that recycles the fluids doesn't mind the mixing of the brake fluid with engine oil. The staff were told that they are both esters. I know the following
a) Brake fluids are glycols
b) Brake fluid mixes with water whereas engine oil does not. The two fluids differ greatly in their properties.
Anyone with more information on this?
