hey all,
yesterday I did my clutch fluid change with Super Blue Dot 4.
I followed DIY steps provided my xviper, I believe is the right name.
However, the first clutch push from my helper, I could already see
blue fluid coming out. Is this normal? I really used a small amount of
Super Blue during the whole process
1) fill it in the begining after removing the old fluid
2) Then refill as bleeding the clutch fluid.
It didn't even use 1/3 of the bottle i think.

I checked the reservior and the level is fine.
I just want to ask other's opinion on how much clutch fluid was used
to do the flush,
Any help?

1/3 bottle is about right, IIRC. You can flush your entire brake system, then use the leftover to flush the clutch. Still, I'd think it would take a few pumps, not just 1 to get everything pushed through.

yea.. thats what i was thinking..
I still did few pumps... but I am kinda concerned that I saw blue fluid from my first pump attempt.. The clutch feels better i think..
Is there anyway I can check it I did it correctly?
I don't see any leaks... and the fluid level stays the same..

There is really not a lot of clutch fluid. It's not that abnormal.

I did mine 2 weeks ago. I was actually suprised how small capacity the resevoir was. I gravity bled mine and wasn't too sure what the pedal "should" feel like.

I tried backing up of the garage and everthing seems to be fine. Do you have about 1/4 inch of light pedal play (where it's a bit softer)?

I see... so its not abnormal.. thanks guys.
I do have some little play.. but it feels greater after I changed the fluid. I think.
