I'm having a hard time finding some Dot 4 brake/clutch fluid at any of my local Chevy parts departments...The owners/manual says to use Dot 4 and as I'm going to a track rental soon, I wanted to be prepared for clutch fluid changes...So I guess the question is are you guys using Dot 3 or Dot 4??? - Thanks in advance...

I bought MOTUL 600 RBF BRAKE FLUID from Circle Track Supply, Inc. It was about $100 for a six-pack including shipping.

Have fun at the track but be safe!

Prestone DOT4 synthetic brake fluid at Walmart for about $2.50. They also have the 2 stroke mixing syringe for like $4.00. I'm sure the MOTUL brand is good but the Prestone is readily available.

Has anyone else heard that 06's clutch lines are to close to the engine and cuase the fluid to boil and turn black? Any way to fix this?

Ok, here's kinda a side question about DOT4....

I bought some DOT4 for my car and a few days before I was going to flush the system out, I noticed the label and it said "not recommended for use in ABS equipped cars"

I bought SSBC brand. Is that just a "covering our a$$es" line, or is that really on their for a reason?

I never put the fluid in, so if it's nothing to worry about... I'd like to know so I don't have the fluid here as a waste of money.

Also.. didn't want to thread jack.

Lammo question from first time stick owner.........

.......Which ever DOT 4 fluid you pick goes in Brake and Clutch, right?

If so the ATE Super Blue (which I always used in my C5 brakes) is OK??

I would get the Amber as to not draw attention at the dealership

Use DOT 4 in both the clutch and the brakes!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but , aren't we suppose to avoid synthetic fluids ?

Actually are cars come from the factory with Super DOT-4 clutch fluid. It's a little different than regular DOT-4. To keep things simple, I get the original GM parts number fluids listed in the owners manual, from Gene Cully's web site.

Does anyone know anything about the 06's that supposedly have clutch lines to close to the engine cause the fluid it boil and turn black?
