I just flushed my clutch fluid a few days ago... After a lot of research I ended up putting DOT 3 brake fluid. Apparently the reality is that the brand does not make a difference because DOT 3 and DOT 4, etc all require the same specifications and standards. DOT 4 isnt necessary if you dont track your car. Just dont use DOT 5 as that does not mix with either 3, 4, or 5.1

fyi: im not saying dot 4 or dot 3 have the same standards, I mean in order to be dot 3 or dot 4, all brands must meet same requirements.
