Mits_jc 5th Gear June 22, 2006 Share June 22, 2006 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! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trex101 3rd Gear June 23, 2006 Share June 23, 2006 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mits_jc 5th Gear June 23, 2006 Author Share June 23, 2006 (edited) 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. Edited June 23, 2006 by Mits_jc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trex101 3rd Gear June 23, 2006 Share June 23, 2006 (edited) SAE 5w30 or 10w30 = 70w80 SAE 10w40 or 20w50 = 75w90 Oh, your GL-4 or GL-5 spec? Edited June 23, 2006 by Trex101 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear June 23, 2006 Share June 23, 2006 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.

Mroonws Clutched June 23, 2006 Share June 23, 2006 You try calling this no. 62985330. They sell many Motul's oil... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mits_jc 5th Gear June 23, 2006 Author Share June 23, 2006 (edited) 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. Edited June 23, 2006 by Mits_jc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trex101 3rd Gear June 23, 2006 Share June 23, 2006 Redline MTL is the recommended fluid for all honda tranny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie47 1st Gear June 23, 2006 Share June 23, 2006 To flush just keep on bleeding until you use up 1-2L . Seriously, most cars won't even use more than 500mL of BF. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
