SOURCE: Clutch fluid resevoir

Clutch fluid and brake fluid are the same thing. It's usually only sold with the label "Brake Fluid", but it is used in the clutch system as well. In fact, a lot of vehicles only have the one reservoir for both brake and clutch systems. You should use DOT 4 or higher grade. Cheers.

What fluid do I put in my 2008 clutch cylinder ? And how do i bleed it ?

You need either Dot 3 or Dot 4 brake fluid for clutch cylinder. If the old oil in clutch cylinder oil container is red or yellow then its Dot 3 and if its Clear like water then its Dot 4. Never Mix dot 3 and dot 4 oil. Check your vehicle owner manual for correct type of oil.

For bleeding you need to open the valve near the brake caliper till all the air inside the fluid pipe is released and oil starts dripping. Also add fresh oil in clutch container so that you don't create air gaps while bleeding.

Is vitamol v10 the same spec as magura blue blood

All the above answers saying to use a DOT or other fluids are wrong.

Never use DOT-3 or DOT-4 based fluid in a system equipped for Magura's Blue Blood or Vitamol V10 mineral oil. Using DOT-3/DOT-4 fluids will likely cause seals to fail in your clutch or brake cylinders.

To answer your question: yes, I believe both Blue Blood and Vitamol V10 products are equivalent SAE10 weight mineral oil.

Losing brake fluid(2001 kia sportage)

Check the rear wheel cylinders if you have drum brakes on the rear. Check the master cylinder cap to be sure it's on right & snug. Use D.O.T. 3 fluid,not synthetic. If you're losing fluid there's a reason. Check the front brake pads & slides for the calipers,could be frozen with rust & eating up the pads. Fluid would seem low if the pads are shot.
