Which Clutch Fluid?
Discussion
Hi,
Tried searching for the answer to this but cant find it.
What clutch fluid do I need for a 2001 Tuscan 4.0? In the handbook it recommends Mobil Universal brake and Clutch fluid SAE J1703, but I cant find this anywhere.
I have found these two:

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-742-castrol-react-perf...
Which are both DOT 4 which I think is what I need.... but do I need synthetic or non?
Many thanks
Dan

Ok, so I asked Opie Oils what they would recommend and they came back with this:
The best fluids for the brakes and clutch are the Castrol SRF, Motul RBF660 and Gulf RF1000. The Motul RBF600, Gulf RF1000, Millers 300 Plus and Fuchs Pro Race are close to those, but don't have quite as high boiling points. The next step down (in performance terms), but still an upgrade over standard are the Gulf Racing 5.1, Motul DOT 5.1 and Castrol React Performance. Any of the other DOT4 fluids we have are fine to use as a standard choice.

I went for the Castrol .
Hope this helps others.
