Can I use DOT brake fluid in the Shimano MT200?

No — the Shimano MT200 uses Shimano mineral oil only. DOT fluid is incompatible and will destroy the seals. Only use Shimano-branded mineral oil or equivalent mineral oil specifically approved for Shimano hydraulic systems.

What rotor size is recommended for the MT200 rear brake?

160mm is the standard rear rotor size for trail and XC riding. If you ride heavy enduro or long descents, a 180mm rotor improves heat dissipation. Use a PM adapter to mount 180mm rotors on a 160mm post-mount frame.
