Clutch fluid to run...

[VelodromeRacer]

I know better than to use a syn clutch fluid with silicon, but that being said...what fluid brand/type do you guys run for these cars? I am about to finish my remote bleed setup and get the clutch setup this weekend and wondered what high temp stuff to buy...
Thanks Velo

Actually, I like Valvoline Syn-Power sythetic brake fluid.

It is DOT 3, 4 and 5.1 compatible (so it will mix with "normal" brake fluid, so no need to purge system).
I use it in clutch and brake system.

Has a very high boiling temp, cheap, and is easy to find in the US ( Autozone, Advance Auto, etc)

It will not mix with DOT 5 fluids (which are silicone fluids).

Castrol SRF, same as the brakes.

I like the ATE 200 because it is made in both blue and amber and thus makes it easy to see when I have completely flushed out the old fluid. It has a pretty high wet boiling point and is much more reasonable ($) than Castrol's "Liquid Gold" SRF.
