Clutch Fluid Change

I'll be taking my 2016 RT in next week for spring service and I noticed the service schedule in the owner's manual does not list a change of clutch fluid. Is this an oversight or have I missed somehting in the manual?

read some more (like on the reservoir cover). It probably says use mineral oil only. No changing required as it is not hygroscopic.

Thanks. It says "Use Only Mineral Oil See Owner Manual". Not a clue in the manual about changing or checking. Nice that it does not need to be changed.
 
The mineral oil clutch systems are lifetime oil. In the unlikely event you have to service it, I learned that any spillage aerodynamically makes its way to the windscreen; which is confusing when it happens.
