Is Clutch Fluid the Same as Brake Fluid?

[McSophia]

Clutch fluid and brake fluid are the same. The working principles of the hydraulic components in these two systems are fundamentally identical, so the requirements for the hydraulic fluid are also the same. More information about clutch fluid and brake fluid is as follows: 1. Internationally, the classification for such hydraulic fluids is: DOT3, DOT4, and DOT5, corresponding to the national standards: HZY3, HZY4, and HZY5, respectively. The higher the classification, the better the safety assurance. 2. This type of fluid is prone to absorbing moisture. After absorbing moisture, the fluid deteriorates, and the deteriorated fluid lowers the boiling point. Especially in the braking system, the large amount of heat generated during braking can cause the deteriorated fluid to boil, which can easily lead to brake failure. Therefore, this type of fluid must be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers.
