Hi all, my 2011 has 1500 miles on it and I noticed that the clutch fluid is much darker than the brake fluid. Reading some old posts on here I can see that this has been an ongoing issue. However I don't buy the outcome many on here are subscribing to, that of oil from the slave cylinder getting into the fluid somehow. If this were the case we wouldn't have a closed hydraulic system and the clutch would be mush. Does anyone have another idea as to why the clutch fluid is often darker than the brake fluid? I may accept that the constant engine heat may be doing this but why at ~1500 miles on most.[/QUOT
The only 2 ideas I can come up with.... the line gets much more heat then the brake lines and there is less fluid in the clutch side. Less fluid would get dirty faster...
