Your thoughts

I think if you look @ the specs/manual: DOT 5 is NOT recomended for the clutch master/slave system. I just read this on corvetteforum and will try to find you a link.

I have been using the Castrol synthetic DOT 4 (3+) I think they call it. It is Syntec.

I change mine after I give the clutch some abuse, track days, 'spirited' street driving, etc. Cheap insurance and the Ranger method works wonders!
