Guyz please HELP.

So I was trying to flush the Clutch Fluid yesterday and when I went to Power Chevy in Irvine the guys at the service counter said that the the GM Part number in my Owner's manual was discontinued. In the owner's manual it calls out GM Part No. US 88958860.

He gave me a 16 ounce bottle of Hydraulics Clutch Fluid #12345347. Now this bottle is clearly marked clutch fluid and in the back it is marked 'DOT3 with friction modifiers'.

No one carries the old GM part number and on the forums, everyone seems to be using Prestone DOT-3 brake fluid. What is the deal here. Can I use the Fluid that was given to me by the Power Chevy dude?

PLEASE HELP.

I just found this link. It says Super Dot-4. That is what is in the original manual. I think the guy gave me the wrong stuff. I put this into the reservoir. Should I get it out and then replace it with the Prestone Super Dot-4? Where do you get this stuff?

Last year when I went to a Chevy parts dept, they said they did not stock the GM fluid, just used regular brake fluid. Make me wonder. I purchased Prestone DOT-4.

i answered your pm. just suck out what you have in the reservoir, fill it with dot-4...pump it 20 times or so...suck it back out and repeat the process a few time. do this for a couple weeks you should be ok.

Prestone-DOT4 can be found at just about any auto parts store. Hell I get mine from Walmart.
