Tracking it should put you on the higher, more frequent maintenance schedule for everything. Even though the water temp does not go up, your rpms are heating the cylinders to higher temps (go radiator
) so the oil does break down faster under that much stress. Same with the brake fluid, more stress & heat so more frequent changing is necessary.
Two factors for maintenance. First, follow the science and not the emotion (easier said than done). Second, as with everything in life, follow the money to find out who's best interest is at heart.
Btw, let me know the next time you're tracking it. I'd love to come out and watch.
