I recently got an 09 G37S vert with 62k miles and I'm going to change out all the fluids for peace of mind. I saw that there's a clutch TSB out and it says to use GTR brake fluid, which looks like it's just DOT 4. It's a bit pricey, can I just get any DOT 4 and use it for both my clutch and brakes (flush)? Also, how much fluid of each to do a flush?

Suggested Fluid:
GT-R R35 SPECIAL BRAKE FLUID
P/N: KN9U0-40001P (quantity 1)

Dot 4 would be fine. More important to change the fluid regularly (2-3 yrs).

Keep in mind, using any high performance racing fluid is not advised for normal street driving unless you're changing it annually or more often. Such fluid is more prone to absorbing moisture at a greater rate than regular fluids defeating the whole purpose of using it if not changed often.

Yeah that's why I don't use the RBF600.

The car calls for DOT 3 brake fluid so use DOT 3 brake fluid when flushing. Dot 4 fluid was invented way before the G came about and if Nissan wanted to use DOT 4 they would have. There are chemical differences between the 2. Just because it has a higher number doesn't mean DOT 4 is better than DOT 3.
