Brake fluid flush - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Thor142 · 04-19-2016, 11:53 AM

Ok first off please don't drown my thread with "use the search function" posts. I tried. V bulletin search function is junk.

Now, I'll be getting my car ready for summer and an upcoming HPDE day in June. Aside from good rubber and brakes I'll be flushing the brake fluid to DOT4 as suggested by the owners manual. This is the only car I've ever seen with the clutch and brakes sharing the same reservoir though. I assume this means I have to flush the entire system? How do I flush the clutch fluid? Is there a bleeder valve like on the calipers?

Thanks in advance.

JDP has a great kit to separate the brake and clutch reservoir for cheap. Then you won't have the contaminated brake fluid.

OK I seem to have it figured out. Thanks for the link. Ordered some Motul 600 for the flush. Think I'll stay with the stock Brembro pads for now.
