Oils and Fluids
In many cases, fluid discoloration is a
normal operating characteristic and, by
itself, does not necessarily indicate a
concern or that the fluid needs to be
changed. However, a qualified expert, such
as the factory-trained technicians at your
dealership, should inspect discolored fluids
that also show signs of overheating or
foreign material contamination
immediately.
Make sure to change your vehicle
’s oils and
fluids at the specified intervals or in
conjunction with a repair.

Your vehicle is capable of sustained high
speeds and track day driving. Your GT has
electronic controls to reduce power and
limit the RPM to reduce powertrain
temperatures if operating temperatures
are exceeded.
Before Operating Your Vehicle at High
Speeds:
•
Verify your tires have the correct
pressures See Technical
Specifications (page 204).
• Inspect wheels and tires for wear and
damage. Replace any damaged wheels
and tires.
• Check and set lug nut torque. See
Technical Specifications (page 204).
• Verify fluid levels for oil, coolant, brake,
and hydraulic fluid. See Maintenance
(page
154).
• Change the oil and filter prior to use on
the track.
After Operating Your vehicle at High
Speeds and Track Day Driving, Do the
Following:
• Set tire pressures to specification.
• Check and set lug nut torque. See
Technical Specifications (page 204).
• Check all fluid levels.
• If you drive your car for an extended
period of time at high speed or on the
track for an extended time, change the
