Default Clutch fluid boil point

What is the best clutch fluid. What fluid has the highest boiling point?

Probaby "the best" with the highest wet and dry boiling points is Castrol SRF but it is quite expensive. For a much cheaper price you can get other types that are pretty good and have impressive wet boiling temps which you have to consider as well since your fluid constantly attacts moisture. I used ATE Super Blue which is good for the price and also there is the ATE 200 gold type which is the same thing but a different color. It just makes it easier for you to tell when your fluid has been bled out all the way when you are alternating the two types.

Some data I found when I was looking around trying to find the same thing you are looking for. And the ATE is supposed to absorb moisture very slowly.

Arranged by DRY boiling point:
DRY: 401F -- WET: 284F -- DOT3 ---------------------- $3
DRY: 446F -- WET: 311F -- DOT4 ---------------------- $3
DRY: 502F -- WET: 343F -- Valvoline SynPower ------ $5
DRY: 527F -- WET: 302F -- AP Racing 551 ------------ $25
DRY: 536F -- WET: 392F -- ATE Superblue/TYP200 -- $10
DRY: 590F -- WET: 410F -- AP Racing 600 ------------ $40
DRY: 590F -- WET: 518F -- Castrol SRF --------------- $70
DRY: 593F -- WET: 420F -- Motul RBF600 ------------- $25
DRY: 610F -- WET: 421F -- Neo Syn Super DOT 610 -- $35

Arranged by WET boiling point:
DRY: 401F -- WET: 284F -- DOT3 ---------------------- $3
DRY: 527F -- WET: 302F -- AP Racing 551 ------------ $25
DRY: 446F -- WET: 311F -- DOT4 ---------------------- $3

DRY: 590F -- WET: 410F -- AP Racing 600 ------------ $40
DRY: 593F -- WET: 420F -- Motul RBF600 ------------- $25
DRY: 610F -- WET: 421F -- Neo-Syn Super DOT 610 - $35
DRY: 590F -- WET: 518F -- Castrol SRF --------------- $70

Arranged by price:
