What color is your Clutch Fluid

I know this is nothing big but im just curious.

I Got this car last year and the fluid inside the reservior is pinkish color right now but the clutch fluid i got from the dealership is a clear color plus they told me its brake fluid....

Now if i was to mix the two would it matter?i purchased the car from carmax and they do this big oh check up list on things b4 selling there cars... so any one with any related info help me out? thanks

The G35 booklet states that either "genuine Nissan brake fluid or equivalent DOT3 fluid" should be used for the clutch. So, I'd assume that it would be okay to put the clear stuff in; however I have no idea what would happen if you mixed the two together. If in doubt, just flush the old stuff and replace it with only one or the other of the two fluids. The dealership should be able to do this for you (for a hefty fee, usually).

What year do you have? Mine is an '03, and it came with the rudy-hued stuff when I purchased it used.

mines an 03 sedan.

Yeah it is Nissans Brake Fluid (the parts service guy told me this is what is used).

I was just wondering why this lights reddish kinda pinkish stuff is in there haha .... If i get time Ill probably just flush it out myself since im a DIY type of guy or call carmax and see what they used.

Thanks guys

the pinkish stuff is probably old fluid, get it flushed out soon with the new clear stuff.
