Synthetic Brake Fluid - Wagonpeddler_imp - 02-18-2023

I was looking to swap out clutch fluid, as it's getting darker than the brake fluid. Notice that some fluid is labeled synthetic and some is not. Any issues with mixing the two? Unless I bleed the clutch...then it probably doesn't matter.
Thanks

No issue at all. I use it for decades on cars and motos as long as is DOT4.
Do NOT mix with silicone type.

Thanks, PB. Do you know if the original factory fluid is synthetic? 2014 STD.

My Honda service manual 2013-14 specifies DOT4 brake fluid.
