You are undoubtedly  correct, Bill. However, aircraft insurance companies sometimes get picky about what is substituted for "Aircraft approved" products.  Also,  There have been a number of stories in the past about folks attempting to use automotive brake fluid in aircraft brake systems only to find out their seals were not compatible and ended up having to disassemble and replace brake seals.  So naturally, you want to make certain the entire system components is compatible with what ever brake fluid you are using.
