Is Clutch Fluid the Same as Brake Fluid?

[EvangelineAnn]

Clutch fluid is essentially the same as brake fluid, and most vehicles use the same type of fluid for both the brake system and the clutch system. Here are some relevant details about clutch fluid and brake fluid: 1. Replacement Interval: As consumable items, brake fluid (clutch fluid) has a replacement interval, typically every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. However, this interval is only a reference, and the actual replacement should be based on the vehicle's specific condition. 2. Function: Both brake fluid and clutch fluid use the same type of hydraulic fluid, which operates on the principle of incompressible liquids to transmit hydraulic pressure, pushing the brake calipers for braking. It differs from other fluids in terms of volatility, boiling point, corrosiveness, oxidation resistance, and flow characteristics.
