Thank You Kenney Kelley

I hope you realized the most important thing is to change out your fluid on a consistent basis. Follow the manufactures recommendation on type of fluid.

I'm in the process of changing my fluid in the race car now as part of its annual maintenance. I need to pay a little more attention to my daily drivers.
