Track Day Tip = If your Ford dealer changes your oil make sure they put all the belly pan bolts back in or yours may peel off like mine did last night.

So that's at least THREE of us this has happened to?! A $2600 repair when the metal is ground away.

I'm pretty sure they lost money on this oil/brake fluid/clutch fluid change.

no mine was not bent like this, the front was caught a little on the lift when I was pulling up and it only bent a little and it certainly wasn't due to the fault of anyone else but my own. easily bent it back and just gave it a quick spray certainly didnt cost 2600 :)

Excellent advice.

While there is not a huge difference between dry boiling points, if you are going to leave the fluid in the car for a while, Castrol SRF has a huge advantage in wet boiling points. That is the boiling point of the fluid once it has absorbed some water over time.

I used ATE fluid in my track car because I bled the brakes before each event. But the GT is worth the extra price for SRF.
