I had occasion, last week, to help a friend - a Long EZ builder/driver - take apart his brakes because they had been dragging ever since his last brake job. It turned out that the O-ring, sold to him as "Buna-N", swelled up and was binding the piston. AFAIK, he's using standard 5606 brake fluid (it was red, anyway).
