5 speeds! Clutch oil recommendations

Out of curiousity... is there any specific oils that the Max's requires for the hydralic clutch or any type that you all recommend?? Just wondering to see if I can get a better response or feel to the clutch pedal.

BTW-- sorry if the thread title doesnt make sense.

I presently just use Dot 3 brake fluid, but I've heard good things about Valvoline SynTec synthetic brake fluid which is supposed to come in a silver bottle.

that's all I use...valvoline supersyn in the silver bottle, you can get it at any auto parts store...I used to only use motul, but it got very expensive and you have to order it online since you can't get it "over-the-counter" like the valvoline...but I am fine with it as I can't feel a difference and the boiling points are almost at the level of motul which makes it the best performance brake fluid you can get at a any autoparts store...for much cheaper than motul!

agreed, valvoline synpower is available at any autoparts store...you can pick up a super large bottle (i think 1.5qts) for only $5.99 at autozone....freakin awesome! beat that motul!!
