Seriously doubt that the Casrol killed your master cylinder. I bet it is in the process of failing. When is the last time you flushed the brake fluid? Brake fluid is hydroscopic (absorbs water). This leads to problems, including master cylinder failure over time. This should be done every 30,000 miles or 3 years, whichever comes first.
I would replace (or rebuild) the master cylinder and flush the fluid as soon as possible. Don't delay very long, brake failure is not a pretty sight...
