Hi JCarter,
Is this a new vehicle? If so, no need to do anything, just keep the clutch fluid clean using the "Ranger Protocol", look it up on the internet. That's what I do.
If this car is used, and the clutch fluid is black or dirty, it can lead to Master Cylinder and Slave cylinder damage. Also keep in mind our cute 'lil plastic Slave Cylinder just isn't cut out for drag racing, high RPM launches, and abuse. Those sorts of things lead to Slave Cylinder failure.
I don't believe there is anything other than anecdotal evidence that any sort of fluid will protect you from the clutch failing treatments I've mentioned above.
I'm very paranoid about my Slave Cylinder failing, I don't have time to take a few days off to change it, so I'm very careful with mine. I'm the 3rd owner and at 21,000 miles with no failure yet.
Congratulations on the new Z!
