Hi,
My opinion is that Castrol SRF is the best when it comes to high performance - 590F dry boiling point, 518 wet boiling point. You still need to change the stuff though and its VERY expensive,...

Mike B,
I suppose the factory must be wrong or that 951s driven in Canada are immune from this particular problem and especially so in your case.
Just that you have not had an accident (yet) does...

Hi Jim,
Since now you would probably want 17" instead of 18", here's some further advice:

p.s. Britwrench, perhaps you should remember to lube the cross shaft properly the next time you do a clutch job, so that it won't "seize up" on you the next time you try to remove it.

The job itself is really not that difficult. Replacement parts are not that expensive. Dropping just the...

I agree.
Factory specifically recommended against 18" fitment as there has been reports of dasmage to the mounting areas.
17" is the one to go for.
