The clutch fluid gets nasty no matter what the fluid. I have had AP600 and Motul in there and after 1000 track miles it is dark and nasty looking. It seems to pick up a lot of contaminants, probably from the slave cylinder. The fact that it isn't even on the standard service item list is astounding.
