Is brake fluid same as clutch fluid, meaning can use brake fluid and pour into clutch fluid reservoir?

 

Anyone driving Honda Civic Manual ES5 knows how many liters/quarts/bottles of the below is required for servicing?

 

Brake Fluid:

Clutch Fluid:

Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF):

 

Thanks!

Yes, brake and clutch fluid use the same type of fluid.

 

Brake Fluid: 1L should be enough for both clutch & brakes

Clutch Fluid: -

Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF): 2 quart of MTF

my manual says SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 motor oil can be used, but anyone knows what is the cross reference to gear oil? as in 75W-90 or 80W-90 etc.

SAE 5w30 or 10w30 = 70w80

SAE 10w40 or 20w50 = 75w90

 

Oh, your GL-4 or GL-5 spec?

That's racing stuff. Expensive and hard to get. I would suggest you get Ate brake fluid. Either the Blue/Typ200 or for budget the Super DOT 4 which is really over-spec'd above whatever DOT 4 brake fluid you can get from the petrol stations or anywhere.

Should be GL-4 for Honda manual tranny.

 

In that case, is it advisable to use Redline MTL or MT-90?

 

I understand MT-90 is a thicker version of MTL.
