I assume its dot4 brake fluid, but just want to make sure it isn't PS fluid or ATF. I'm on my way to auto zone in 5 minutes so someone help me out real quick.

BTW this info is NOT listed in the capacities writeup on the 240 tech pages (fail) and for some reason the search brings up zero results for anything to do with "clutch" (also fail).

silly, clutches don't need fluid. Clutch master cylinder however does. Also since I feel like contributing information to this thread, nissan uses auto transmission fluid for power steering.
