I was not so fortunate at the time of my CSC failure.
My 09' is currently at local garage getting complete brake system upgrade. And I am looking to getting year old GTR clutch fluid flushed out with new Fluid. The old fluid is dark brown/blackish. I average about 5000 miles a year on Z. Last year is when I had new CMC, HD-CSC, insulated clutch lines, solid billet steel flywheel, & ACT Clutch installed.
I thought the GTR Fluid would hold up better then it did.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a hydraulic fluid that hold up better?

Possibly Motul RBF 600.

Definately look into the Motul. And believe it or not, find a repair shop that deals with BG products. They only come around to shops and dealerships. The kit they use for the brake fluid flush service is pretty good stuff. I know it may not sound too enticing, but it's def worth it and it's rather inexpensive.

And thank you. I am too. This is all I was looking for from the dealer. That just shows the level of integrity that some dealerships have on a customer service level. The sad thing is that this is coming out of my mouth and I work at a dealership. But we DO NOT conduct business like that!!! They were basically trying to get me to shell out $2500 for the repair and than pull a fast one and say that they found something else wrong internally while doing the clutch job and either charge me for it or claim they covered it as a courtesy.
