Default Brake Fluid, for the clutch. Recamendations.

I need to re bleed my clutch, remove an air bubble from the line. My clutch doesnt feel right and I know the disc isn't worn out. It doesnt slip, the pedal just feels like it should have some more pressure to it.

Anway, what fluid should I use?

Im thinking about that ATE super blue, or maybe just going to pep boys and seeing if Mobil 1 has anything.

I have just always used Motul. But that is just me. Of course, I don't drive an S2000 either.

Mobil 1
AMSOIL
Motul
ATE

All those are some good stuff.

any dot 4 fluid is fine for street and hpde


read the fine print in the label, there should be a dry boiling point, most of the dot4 is around the area so just pick anything you like.

dot 4 fluid will absorb water in the air faster than oem fluid, so do flush them every two year.

I always use valvoline dot4 synpower, they are cheap and i can get it in every retail store.

the bad thing? they only make it in clear with a hint of light amber, i almost have to bleed out alot of new fluid just to make sure the old juice is completely flushed out.

I flush my every year, bleed everytime it see track action.


oh btw, when you do a complete flush, make sure you bleed it again couple days later, you'll always find some hidden bubble in the line

Its the clutch. Are you a drag racer? Do you do clutch dumps repeatedly? I bet you could use water and it wouldn't boil. Just get any DOT3/DOT4 fluid and you'll be fine.
