570 dry versus SRF at 590 dry except this is 7 bucks for a 12 oz bottle...I have this stuff in my clutch.

Isn't all DOT 4 the same?

G/Bish
I can't even begin to state threads on C5 for clutch fluid but a fella called Ranger has al the news if not the expertise on DOT3 and DOT4 for clutch and brake...his "regime" of clutch DOT3 flushing is well documented in his threads ... no quotes but about 350 passes on a 1/4 mile run without having clutch issues.
I decided I would go with the Wilwood and willl check often for the colour degradation he mentions..
DOT4 probs are inability to really tell the fluid degradation whereas wilwood and DOT3 show up....DOT3 looks like urine when good and blackens when contaminated DOT4 is dark blue and tougher to tell.
In short yea I'll change and syphon every year.
My post was only to ask Pit if the extra cost of SRF was felt to be justified as the difference is huge in price without any apparent temp change benefit.
DOT3 and DOT4 are much lower dry and wet boiling points...not really an issue unless we heat the sucker up.
Hope this helps..

The Wet boiling points are too low. Once the fluid heats up at the track it's more susceptible to water contamination and you want the wet boiling point as high as possible.
Another option, available at motorcycle shops is the Motul 600. I think I'll try that one this summer.
