I've also heard that Englsh hydraulic parts require LMA, though I have used 
both DOT 3 and 4 of various brands with no problems.  
 
Castrol claims a bit higher boiling point for LMA than DOT 3 or 4 specs.  
Castrol also makes a "Special Racing Fluid" (SRF. also called Liquid Gold 
because of the price of approximately $70/quart) that has a MUCH higher boiling 
temperature--somewhere in excess of 600 degress though this is no doubt 
overkill for a road car.
