Quickie: Clutch fluid
Hey all,
I'm due to change my clutch fluid and just wanted to know what most of you use?
Any random dot 3 fluid or is there something specific that hondas prefer?

Yes, normal dot 3 will work, no reason to over pay for something honda puts a label on. As 90Rexx, you are supposed to change your brake and clutch fluid at least every 2 years. Brake fluid absorbs moisture, and causes your lines to rust from within.

thats what i use i don't see a point in spending an extra $10-$15 for the same thing but with a honda label on it just remeber that when you change it to check all the rubber parts cause if you added anything thats petroleum based they will swell up

Re: Quickie: Clutch fluid
Perhaps equally as bad, hydraulic brakes/clutches work best when the fluid within the lines are 'incompressible' and having moisture/air (a compressible fluid) within your lines makes your pedals feel mushier than mashed potaters. On my way to buy some dot3 myself, as well as some food....
