I am glad I found this channel, I have a couple large bottles of this Pentosin Super DOT 4 have been sitting around collecting dust. I purchased them for my 2018 GLE 350. I just found out today, these can be used on Corvette clutch fluid. Thank you.

Go Steelers! Thanks for pointing this out. My clutch was getting stuck on the floor after coming back after being parked for a while. The fluid is dirty with gunk in it like yours had. Needless to say, fluid will be getting sucked and flushed tomorrow.

@@adambeezy well, because what if you have air in the system or worse yet the master cylinder fails. That happened to me with my Nissan truck. I flew right pass a stop sign. Faulty brake master cylinder. So not only did I had to put a master cylinder but had to completely drain the fluid, bleed it and put new.

just wondering does c7 z06 holds as much as clutch fluid as c6 or less, because the ranger method was for c6. Ranger said "each time you are swapping about 35-50 percent of the used fluid with new" so I was wondering about the clutch fluid capacity differences. also bottle says should work in a ventilated area, I just do it in a closed 2-car garage, should be ok?

Dot 4 does not have bad fumes I have owned 4 corvettes all manual I have always used preston full synthetic dot 4 on the clutch reservoir there is a clear min line and a clear max line on the outside of the reservoir. I always go half way between the lines I usually swap the fluid about five times per change pumping the clutch pedal a minimum of 30 times its very easy .
