high temp Clutch/brake fluid - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm thinking about adding a seperate reservior for the clutch. Does anyone know of a higher temp fluid available? If not do I still use the same fluid from GM in both reservoirs?

There are a lot of choices out there, I just went through this as well.

I decided to run the WilWood 570, it has higher ratings than the factory fluid, much higher actually, but it is not nearly as expensive as some of the others.

you will see a lot of people say to use Motul 600RBF, which is also a great option, it is just too exspensive for my taste.

Always happy to help, PM me if you have any questions.

Motul RBF600, works very well. It is $15 per 500ml bottle. It will take aprox 3 bottles to replace all your fluid. Then just an ounce or two to flush your clutch reservoir after a track day. If you are at Bandimere tomorrow, I can go over the conversion with you. By the way, most motorcycle shops carry the Motul fluid.

I think I'll try the WilWood 570, once I get the separate reservoir.
