I switched my fluid to a DOT 5.1 because the DOT 4 would break down from the high running temp of the V65 Magna, the oil would expand and I would lose all clutch free play before engagement and would get slipping, remember DOT 5.1 not DOT 5. DOT 5 is a silicone based fluid and will not work it turns to gel and will ruin your clutch components.
