question 16
technician a says that clutch fluid is often dot 3 brake fluid. technician b says that brake fluid and power steering fluid are commonly interchangeable. who is correct?
technician b
neither technician a nor technician b
technician a
both technician a and technician b

Explanation:

• Technician A: Clutch fluid is often DOT 3 brake fluid. This is correct. In many vehicles, especially those with hydraulic clutch systems, DOT 3 brake fluid is used for the clutch as well.
• Technician B: Brake fluid and power - steering fluid are not commonly interchangeable. Brake fluid (e.g., DOT 3, DOT 4) has specific properties like a high boiling point and is hygroscopic (absorbs water). Power - steering fluid (e.g., ATF - type fluids in some cases) has different viscosity and chemical properties suitable for the power - steering system. Using brake fluid in power - steering or vice - versa can cause system damage.

Answer:

Technician A
