Default C7 clutch fluid replacement

What is the correct clutch fluid

Dot 3 ? Dot 4 ? Any recomendation for a fluid that could be found locally


I have 10,000 miles and leave from pa in 2 days for a trip which will bring me through , the snake, the tail of the dragon and into orlando.

My thought is if i swap it out each time i fill up it should be clean by the time i get home. A search got me info for the c6 and nothing for c7

Thanks for the help

Dot 4; any reputable manufacturer. I use AMSOIL for most of my oils and fluids. Look up the "Ranger" method. I did mine this weekend. It took less than 30 minutes from setup to cleanup.

Buy an enema syringe the larger size, then slip a piece of clear 1/4" flexible tubing on the tip.

The clear tubing allows you to see what you are sucking into the syringe, I have been using the same syringe for all kinds of fluids for many years they work great.
