Correct clutch fluid?

I was reading an old issue of four wheeler today and read that you should only use Girling or Castrol brake fluid in Jeep hydraulic clutches. Is this true? If so where do you get this fluid. I don' think I've ever seen Castrol brake fluid.
 
Castrol LMA (Low Moisture Affinity) broke fluid is everywhere - I use it because it's convenient.

However, I can't see that most "modern" Jeep clutches would fail on a good-quality DOT3 brake fluid - I've used several with no ill effects in my 88.

Still, check around. If there's a large "LMA" on the label, check for the Castrol moniker - I think the LMA is their trademark. I can even find it in hardware stores around here, so it can't be too tough to find...
