Clutch fluid looks filthy!
Hey all, I just checked the manual and read that the clutch fluid is filled with regular Honda brake fluid. I was checking my fluid levels and the clutch fluid is a much darker color than the brake fluid. I just turned over 30,000 miles. Is this typical?
Looks like I'm going to be doing a bleed of the clutch and brakes soon. I just bought some of that Valvoline full synthetic DOT 3/4 fluild. We'll see how it works...

Just got done bleeding it this morning. The pedal is stiffer than it ever was (never got to drive her brand new 
) and the fluid is clean. Time to bleed the brakes tomorrow probably.

I think it's normal.
