Are you thinking of going to silicone brake fluid? It is very popular,
especially where a car isn't driven a lot. However, the old english
manufacturers still warn against using it due to how it 'effects" the rubber
parts. I have used it for years without a problem. If you try to use it in
your clutch cylinders, from my experience you will find it very hard to bleed
and get the air out.
