I started when my car was 11,000 miles, my fluid was light brown. The way our clutches work, fluid gets cycled between the reservoir and the CSC. I swapped the fluid in mine 2x before it became clear. Since then I've done it at least once a month, depending on the color. I figure I've put at least 1 bottle thru there already. I used Dot3/4 Valvoline. I don't track or abuse it so the minimum is enough for me.
If it were BLACK and chunky, yeah I'd probably swap fluid until I got it clear. Then wait a few days and check it again. If it were still clear I'd leave it alone. Some folks would rather just get it all out at once, bleeding would cover that. It's a 2 person job anyway you look at it. These clutches are a bear to get the air out of (if you accidentally get air in - not saying it's likely).
