Ec 300 clutch fluid

[Niall-griffiths]

Hi guys need to bleed clutch on my 2002 ec 300 what does it use? Manual says mineral but reservoir says only use dot 4 fluid???

I put brake fluid in mine just because that's wat it says on the top of the reservoir but I may be wrong as I was told I should have used mineral oil.

Hi mate I spoke to gas gas uk they said mineral clutch systems didn't come onto gas gas until 2005 with the ec anyway.

Cheers so brake fluid is fine in the 2002 then.

I had a load of Castrol srf for my track car so I put that in mine. think it must need changing by now I think I will use dot4 brake fluid

I use any oil I find. Normally fork oil as there are always dribbles left in bottles.
