Good ole' brake fluid
There is only one brake fluid that owns > all the rest
If you can't read the pic, it's called "ATE Super Blue" it's nice, because it comes in blue and gold colors, so when you do a flush, you always know when the old stuff is out and new stuff is through the lines (assuming you alternate colors)
That, and it's simply the best fluid out there.....might I mention that Porsches come with it from the factory...it's that good.
you can get it for the best price here:

+1 for ATE Super Blue. Went thru Jason (AuToMaX_95) in the group buy section. Great customer service and competitive pricing. I think I paid around 15-17 shipped per container. I'd gladly pay an extra $1 or $2 for his customer service.

There are a number of technical discussions of brake fluid in the "fluids and lubricants" section that get into quite a bit of detail about boiling points, water absorption, etc....I would go in there and read some of them, they'll be more informative than anything posted here.
if you have to get it over the counter, then valvoline is another good choice...it's cheap, readily available at all autozones, and their boiling points are amongst the highest in it's class

The best fluid for the manual transmission is Redline MT-90. You can buy it from the same place I posted above.....

decoy036spd, yes you may use ATE or any other dot 3/dot 4 brake fluid as your clutch fluid

I guess I'm not so "informative" after all
irish44j is still the veteran in my book...
Is a litre of that stuff enough to flush the whole system? I was going to stick w/ just the stock fluid, but of course, my dealer being my dealer, they carry $--- and they know $---. Yeah, the parts people tell me they don't carry brake fluid by the bottle, all they have is the bulk stuff.
Is flushing the system every year too extreme? I thought maybe every 2 years, would that work, be ok that is?

j/k
On a side note, how do you go about flushing your clutch? I actually bought 1 bottle of ATE super blue, then bought 2 more from Jason because I was scared I'd run out during the bleeding. Funny thing is, I didn't even finish the first bottle. So I might as well do my clutch too.
