does regular DOT3 break fluid go in here or something else? thanks

 

Yes, DOT 3 or DOT 4. Never DOT 5.

 

while I agree to only use dot 3,4 or 5.1.....................that isnt the brake fluid resevoir. At elast I dont think so.

 

Oh jeez - the arrow points to that thing BESIDE the brake fluid cylinder.

I really don't know what that's for. Does the cap say anything on it?

Thats not a factory item. to the best of my knowledge anyhow.

 

Clutch Master Cylinder Overflow Bottle

Not present on a 97. good to know. and to answer the OP's question. GL-4.

 

You must be automatic. Same location throughout all the years

 

I have a 97 stick and I have never noticed it.

 

yeah i dont have that bottle, 97 auto

 

this only comes w/ the manual. and dot 3 or 4 brake fluids are recommended here. just watch out for the overspill it can ruin the paint.

 

So it is only present in 95-96 manual cars? and the DOT 3 or 4 break fluid DOES go in there?

 

NOOO..its on ALL 5spd models. same location

To EVERYONE, except matty & rainman: Stop offering advice about things you know NOTHING about.

 

That's the clutch reservoir for the hydraulic clutch.

Check the owner's manual for what to put in there. Or does it say on the lid?

 

OMFG WORD.

 

...........

 

"I'm pretty sure that's where the blinker fluid goes..."

 

Reservoir, not overflow; same as brake master cylinder. DOT 3/4/5.1 will work, but I wouldn't put DOT 5 in there unless you absolutely have nothing else, are completely empty of fluid, and have to be somewhere (i.e. life/death situation).

 

you guys are all wrong thats where you put the horn fluid............duh

 

ROFL "Would you like halogen or regular blinker fluid?"

Yes, that is the clutch resevoir. I just had to replace my flexy hose just now cause it was leaking. I've been using synthetic brake fluid in mine. DOT 3.

 

Would you like muffler bearings with that as well??
