They're both just hydraulic pressure systems with a pedal at one end and actuators at the other. If the manual says that the fluid you have is correct for both, then I'd be inclined to believe it. |

Its been a few years since I needed to buy brake fluid.
However, the last bottle I bought around 5 years ago was actually called "brake and clutch" fluid, so it seems this is quite normal!  Andy |

Andy DONT use old fluid whatever you do...its hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the surrounding air). |
