A

Brake Fluid Flush Intervals

Under performance driving, brake fluids attract moisture, degrading boiling properties. Execute a professional flush every 2 years or 20,000 miles.

B

Tire Heat & Pressure Optimization

Cold Texas mornings reduce tire pressures. Calibrate cold tire readings weekly to prevent uneven tread shoulder degradation and maximize grip metrics.
