Default Clutch Care..Yes I Read Sticky!!

Alright guys its time for me to bring my car out of storage and before i put it away i know my hydraulic fluid needed to be changed..Well i have been reading and i found this link which im going to do to change the fluid..

I have 3 questions..

1. How much do i take out at a time with a syringe so air does not get into the system?

2. What kind of fluid do I use to refill the system?

3. How do I know when the resevoir is filled?

Take out as much as you can but don't let the reservoir get to the bottom or you have to bleed the whole system through.

I used Valvoline Synpower exceeds DOT4, any DOT3/4 brake fluid will work.

Reservoir is full at the little notch that is a little more than halfway up the reservoir.

It can be a pain to do. I have done it more times than I care to remember. I usually stuffed a tube down the reservoir hole to keep it from draining and picking up air. You can do it with a mity vac, but you have to be careful too.
