I have a very good one. All dot 4 fluid is not the same! Most cost effective fluid to use is ATE Super Blue. Difference is how long u can leave it in "safely", before flushing. This is more true with brakes, but the clutch attracts moisture too. This fluid, by the quart, is cheaper than Castrol LMA and much better, by over two years. It comes in blue and amber, so u can see when old is flushed out.
I'm no expert, but have been racing cars and mc for over 35 years and did research prior to using the ATE. I bought it online at a racing supply but can't remember the name.
Hope this is a little help.
