Dang, are you guys talking about larger tracks or auto-x events? I only put on about 2k per year and haven't done a couple of things since right after I bought it. Only race once to maybe twice a year until this season though. I'll put my input in anyways.

Diff - about 6k ago and planning on doing soon
Trans - about 6 k ago and planning on soon
Brakes - once per season
Oil - once per season

With a stock size pan (with baffle) and no oil cooler, I change my oil every event. It gets to to 280-290 measured in the pan via AEM on a stock motor.. Not worth the risk. Oil is cheap. Shell Rotella T6. Brake fluid gets bled and topped off every event as well. Tranny and diff annually with Amsoil.

No I welded a bung in the pan when I welded the baffle in. It's just slightly higher than the drain. Maybe about 3/4"

I knew I liked you. How often do you bleed your brakes?

Did you miss the part where I said I hadn't touched the brake fluid since 2014?
