Castrol SRF

I'm doing a brake upgrade on my ST220 and am changing the fluid, am I right in saying that the new fluid will mix with the old stuff in clutch and so investing in that expensive Castrol SRF will be daft?

Don't fancy bleeding the clutch you see ^_^

Cheers

clutch needs bleeding if you do the brakes...

Easier than replacing your slave cylinder I can assure you!

Becuase brake fluid is Hygroscopic - it absorbes water.

Don't bleed the clutch = knackered slave or master cylinders.

Not instantly, after a few years!

Is bleeding the clutch part of the anual service (well every 2.5 years etc)?

Its usually part of the brake fliud change IF the resivour is a shared jobby...

I can't remember on Ford's thought tbh.

But its not worth removing the gearbox to change a knackered slave cylinder just becuase if hasn't ever been bled!
