Brake Fluid Change

[researchsharon]

I took my car to a dealer because the engine light was on and i needed a smog check. my mechanic was unable to diagnosis the engine problem. dealer fixed that problem, but told me i had dirty clutch fluid. He'll replace for $250.00

Is that the same as brake fluid?

Car is a 1997 with 75,000 miles. I did the 70,000 mile checkup at 53,000 in 2006 on the recommendation of my mechanic (although the mileage was low, the car was older and he felt it was necessary)

Thank you for the help.

^Yes. The clutch and brake system feed off the same fluid reservoir in our boxster.

They share the same reservior but if the dealer didn't bleed the brake calipers, your brakes weren't serviced. Although it's hard to believe they wouldn't do the brakes.

Yes, your clutch and brakes use the same fluid. When you change the brake fluid, bleed the clutch as well.
