Yes but make sure you use Olive oil.

I just switched to the Royal Purple blinker fluid. Works fine except I'm unsure of where to put the cap while I'm checking the level.

You mean you don't already do that????????????
You do realize that you will wear out your break pads by running the rotors dry don't you?????

I'll have to try that because I used that warming massage oil on mine and I think the squeaking/squealing noise got louder.

I just upgraded to a sealed, self-lubricating, full roller brake rotor bearing. Never have to oil up the rotors again!
