For car purposes, they are both the same. Food grade just uses non-toxic components and a lower bacterial count.

Hi all, I understand that most of you get the cluth issue fixed at dealers. Does anyone fall into this problem but your car is not under warranty? In this case where did you get the problem fixed?

Also, is it true that the problem comes from the entire MC? I am just thinking if I replace with another one which is post 2004 model will the issue be completely solved? or i cannot because pre 2004 and post 2004 MC are different? what about an aftermarket MC?

Thanks

You can use post 04 or an aftermarket MC. Will the issue be completely solved? I'll let you know in 1 year's time.

lol. when was the last aftermarket MC you put in? and what brand? do you still have to grease the component regularly?

btw, i thought the problem of creeking noise also hurting the life span of the clutch or other componenet. If this is true, does that mean lubing the MC from the inside of the car only solve the problem on the noise?

I'm using the Honda OEM, installed in 2007, so it's the latest version. No, I haven't greased it since then. It was installed with graphite grease to delay creaking.

No, creaking doesn't affect the lifespan of the clutch.

WD40 damages rubber seals/gaskets.

did you grease the mc with graphite yourself or before it was installed in your car? did you do it yourself or got mechanic to install for you?

I complained about the problem just before warranty ran out. So I got it fixed by the dealer.

WD40 FTL then :cool:

i had mine replaced under warranty on Dec 06, now it's back again with more noise and creaking.

The MC problem come back exactly after 12 months and 2 weeks time. The part itself has 12 months warranty and my car's warranty ran out in 07.

I have a feeling that it has more to do with lubing and humid temperature. i drive on freeway most of the time so clutching activities is a lot more less than those driving on suburban road, but the problem still come back in close to 12 months, i.e. during or after summer season.
