Oil change before track?
Planning on doing a 1-day track event this Friday. I did my last oil change about 1,700 miles and two months ago, did one track day and curious if I need another oil change for another 1-day track event?
I usually take it to the dealer for oil changes, about $120 worth the piece of mind ?
I plan on flushing brake fluid regardless. $100 fair price?
Thanks in advance

In making a decision here I would also consider your oil temps the last time you went to the track. I know that one time when I went to the track, the oil temps started creeping up, not into the danger zone, but significantly higher than normal. If I am expecting to do a full day at a track where I go on every half hour I might think about putting fresh high quality oil. I do my own oil changes so not as big a financial burden, but then again, going to the track can easily run you several hundred dollars in terms of fees, gas, wear and tear. On a really good day you can go through a significant amount of brake pad wear and tire wear, so $120 for oil is almost a pittance.
