Brake and Clutch use the same fluid, stay away from DOT5 synthetic, I prefer ATE Superblue DOT4 fluid, it has outstanding wet/dry boiling point and last up to 3 years before you need to flush it again!! the superblue exceed most DOT4 and some DOT5 specs, good stuff....only $8~$9 a liter. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

For brakes or for clutch?

For brakes, Napa or whatever will work.

For the clutch, I use a DOT4 semi-synthetic (you don't want a full synthetic) as it stands up to the heat under their better than the DOT3.
