Dealer recently replaced my clutch master cyl - did they flush my clutch fluid also?
If not, that's something I want to do - I've read the horror stories of black clutch fluid and such.
Also, is it worth the $8.00 to replace the diff. fluid every 5K miles? I'm sure the synthetic stuff I can get at Advance Auto is better than the Honda label stuff that someone else makes for them.
Thanks for the help in advance.

Sorry, but I'm going to tack on a dumb question to to this. Is clutch fluid the same as transmission fluid?
I'm planning to do an oil change, diff. fluid change, and MTF change this weekend. Should I be looking to do a clutch fluid change as well?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't use the differential fluid from honda. honda does *not* make a suitable fluid for our differentials. that vtm4 crap is made for crvs. you put that crap in your diff and its toast. i boughta bottle of mobil 1 75w90 from aap for 8.50 and changed out my fluid at 2k miles(to get rid of the particles/metal shavings during breakin process).

Diff fluid - Follow what Razor said. Mobil 1 75w90.
Clutch fluid is brake fluid. You need ~ 300ml of dot 3 or dot 4. I use valvoline synthetic.
Tranny fluid most people recommend OEM Honda MTF or GM Synchromesh at a higher price. You need 2 quarts.
