Service or Not to Service B4 trackday??

[aaronng]

ok thanx guys i guess ill do 2 services just to be safe

Also, if you push hard or ride the brakes a lot during the track day, it would be a very good idea to give the brakes a little bleeding after the trackday. You don't have to change all the fluid, but just enough to push out the overheated fluid in the caliper.

brake pedal usually comes back after a day or 2.

I used Motul 8100, went to Winton and after that, the engine was running with reduced power. It was also just a k24a with a lower redline compared to a B or k20a. Changed out the oil and it came out black and thick (oil doing its job catching/cleaning carbon). So I'd still change oil after trackday and not wait for the next service interval.

I don't know what you do man...But I change my oil once every 2 Supersprints/Trackdays (Which are like a month apart) and it still comes out clean, and I run my car pretty hard + there's all that street mileage as well. Pulled the engine after a year of competition, its still very clean and healthy.

But, I've never been impressed with Motul :-p Never liked that oil, good when fresh and after a little bit, gets rough pretty early on. On my Civic, I run either Mobil 1 5w-50 or Redline 15w-50, my 2 other cars, its shell ultra 5w-40.

Yeah do it before for sure.

Wouldn't worry to much about after. Maybe take a 1000km off before your next service.

I had an old dodgy toyota 'race car', put some cheap $20 oil in at the start of the season, did 60km a night for about 8 meets over the year. Regularly overheated every session for about the first 4. Never had a drama. 3 years later someone else still owns the car and it still attends track sprints, hillclimbs and motorkhana's on a regular basis. Think it might have had one oil change since then. Oil always looked good too.

Sure not quite as high tech as a honda, but revving an 25 year old pushrod toyota engine with poorly tuned sidedraft carbs to 7500rpm is my evidence

Def. service before hand; get the logbook service done before...

Change oil and filter and if needed brake fluid after
