I use Castrol SRF for both brake and clutch and have had a few issues with
slave cylinders where the seals are quite square in the bores. Apart from that
only a slight seepage that's hardly noticeable and definately no failures so
it appears to be the answer.

and my street car. !0+ years on the same master cyl, calipers and rear wheel

cyl. Please don't ask me why! Poor brakes by the end of one race. So I ordered
a new master cyl.,which I recieved yesterday. Open the box and included is a
note, " use of silicone fluid voids warranty". OK the question, are the newer
seals not compatable with silicone?
