Thanks Pedro, but now you added a little more confusion to the mix! You said Brakes AND CLUTCH. Do they share a master cylinder? Do I have a seperate flush to do? If they are the same master cylinder, I would imagine that I only need to open a bleed screw on the clutch after the Motive bleeder is pressurized, correct? If so, where is the clutch bleeder? If it's not too much trouble can you please let me know the procedure, so I don't screw anything up?Quote

... fully compatible with the OEM fluid.
It takes just under (1) one liter to flush the calipers and the clutch.
The 6 speed manual tranny requires 2.27 liters of transaxle oil.
The 5 speeds requires 2.25 liters.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro

Correct. DOT 5 is incompatible. DOT 5.1 is totally different. grant - Saturday, 8 October, 2011, at 12:03:17 pm |
Every single solitary DOT 3, 4, 4+ and 5.1 brake fluid is compatible with every other. By definition grant - Thursday, 6 October, 2011, at 10:22:16 pm |

DOT 5.1 (very new, confusingly named, rarely seen) is glycol based. DOT 5 is Silicone based. grant - Saturday, 8 October, 2011, at 4:45:10 pm |
