Change brake fluid, clutch?

I want to change the brake fluid on my C2S. Is the hydraulic clutch a seperate system with a seperate reservoir?

Also, is ATE Super Blue the fluid everyone recommends?

Not sure of the first question...but my performance center recommends ATE blue (FWIW)

tedean is infamous around these parts
Brake fluid performance and the type chosen depends on what type of driving (racing?) you are doing. I use Motul RBF600. You will get many opinions on this.

From a post by Mikelly noting the boiling points of brake fluids. A great thread to search for.

Brand Wet Dry
Castrol SRF 518°F 590°F
Motul RBF600 420°F 593°F
GS610 417°F 610°F
AP-600 410°F 572°F
Brembo LCF 600 399°F 601°F
ATE-Super Blue 392°F 536°F
Valvoline 333°F 513°F
Castrol LMA 311°F 446°F
Ford HD 290°F 550°F
Wilwood 570 284°F 570°F
PFC-Z rated 284°F 550°F
AP-550 284°F 550°F

The clutch system is separate from the brakes.
