    The fluid is Magura Blood: it is mineral oil (MOTREX makes some that works too>>here<<. You can buy it at many retailers. However, many people use Fork oil or ATF. I use ATF- I use it by choice and because it is cheap and commonly found anywhere- you will not notice a difference in performance. Magura Blood is high priced for what it is...

    I change and bleed a couple times a year just like servicing my brakes and change the brake fluid. Always Back bleed with a syringe and a hose. Instructions <<HERE>> I use a rubber hose and a small hose clip. I use a syringe used for veterinary purposes to medicate or feed animals>>like this>>.

    DO NOT USE BRAKE FLUID in your magura clutch- it wil ruin your seals. There are some Brembo Hydro-clutches on late model Ktms that do use brake fluid but YOU have a Magura...
