    i just change the break and clutch fluid more than a month now and i noticed that umitim na ang clutch fluid while the break fluid is relatively clearer. normal ba 'to?

    could be the system is still dirty or the piston and housing have already formed rust.

    it shouldn't get too dark too fast. if it does may pasira na sa loob ng master imo.

    sabi po ng rig mechanic nmin dahil daw sa low viscosity ng brake fluid na ginagamit natin usually daw po sa mga local brand, maganda raw po ang WAGNER (US brand) kaya lang siguraduhin daw na original lahat ang mga rubber caps......

    Yan din problema ko. Kung kelan pa bagong palit ang clucth master. Parang may silver metallic color na humahalo sa fluid. Pero sa dating orig na master hindi naman nagkakaganon.

    clutch and brake fluid should be clear, not dark. merong rubber part na natutunaw kaya ganyan, baka deteriorated na yung rubber. kahit bago yung clutch master kung expired na yung rubber parts nangyayari yan (rubber parts should be stored in a cool, low humidity room for longer shelf life).

    or worse, baka contaminated yung brake fluid with oil/kerosene/gasoline/diesel/wd40. these will break down some types of rubber quickly.
