Can I put Motul 600 in our clutch reservoir?
 

So quick question,
I have freshly opened half a bottle of Motul 600 laying around. I know I can't bleed the clutch fluid with Motive bleeder :rolleyes:. I thought why not suck out the dirty brake fluid from the clutch reservoir (with a turkey baster) and pour in Motul 600. I am also going to a track event which Motul might help a little with the temp. Basically instead of letting this bottle collect moisture, I rather put it in the clutch reservoir. Now my question is, "is it safe (for the clutch components) for me to pour motul 600 (or mix motul 600 with older dot 3 fluid) in the clutch recervoir?"

thanks

Yes.

Suck it out, use a paper towel (blue shop kind) to soak out the rest of it, then fill it with RBF600. Would be best to bleed/flush the line but it takes two people and a lot of patience.

Hi,

you can go ahead and put some Motul rbf 600 in your clutch reservoir!

The first time I tracked this car my pedal went to the floor. It turned out the clutch fluid boiled being too close to the aftermarket Berk cats. The clutch lines were insulated and the clutch fluid was replaced by Motul RBF600 I've never had any further issues.

This happened to me too with longtubes.

I haven't beat on it quite that hard since, but dual-driver autocross events in the Texas summer didn't result in any mushy pedal, so I'd say it was sorted.

It's all I use.

No patience required... took me and my buddy less then 5 mins to rebleed after I swapped to Z1 ss clutch line. :tiphat: Also running motul rbf600 and never had a pedal sticking issue again. Of course I haven't had a drag strip to try it out at since.

Oh to do just the line, yeah. We had to do the entire system which involves a lot of repetition since there's no bleeder on the CSC itself.
