I agree with Harry. It's what I usually use. I will also use Valvoline Synthetic, which is off-the-shelf fluid at most autoparts stores, but I bleed more often with that.

So I took it out this morning to get inspected. And the result is.........
Failed.
But I failed for the High Beam Indicator light not coming on.
I never use my high beams so how the heck am I supposed to know that? Anyways, I pull my LED headlights and put the stock bulbs back in. Pass. Now I need to just pay the registration and I am good to go. As far as the 02 sensor goes, I took it out on the freeway and hit it hard. Exited off the freeway and chilled at my work parking lot while watching the monitors on my scanner. All of the Cat stuff went from INC to Ok, so I went straight to Mr. Tire. Next year, I will get the COPs and maybe do the midpipe. No pictures but I am ecstatic. AC blows cold and car feels great.

Inspections make me nervous, especially sniffer tests. OBD2 less so. You pretty much know if youre gonna fail or not.

Dropped off the Lotus seat to a fabricator along with stock seat rails. Having a fixed low mount bracket made that I can use for events. I do want to keep the slider bracket as well for when the wife gets the urge to take NB out for a spin.
Also, Martin sent me a care package. RSpeed Motor Mounts. Will try to get these in before Aug.

Got a text from the fabricator today. Should be picking up the bracket tomorrow morning. He sent me pictures of the progress and it looks like it sits really low. Will find out tomorrow. Sent off my current slider to Paul. He felt that he needed the adjustment more than I would and I was vice versa. Borrowed a driver side surfboard from SigmaX just to get it to the fabricator for final touches. Man do those things sit high. Will get pics of seat mount when I get it home.

So I picked up the mount from the fabricator and it sits pretty low. I also got news that my old RyokuRob bracket will be coming back to me. The way the fabricator made the mount for the seat looks like it can be used with side mount aftermarket seats also. Just would need to drill a hole in the side for the front mount. I wasn't able to get any pics yet as I have been extremely busy at work but it is in raw metal form. I should/will be painting it black in the next couple of weeks but I have been leaning towards moving it as I am getting the Rob bracket back. The fabricated mount would work in other situations for other people as well. I guess we will see.

Gorgeous!
Interested to hear your thoughts about how they feel. I like that ride height, too. Functional, but purposeful.

So even at the slightly raised height, it still turns like its on rails. I am finding myself pushing everyday turns and corners faster than I did before because it feels so easy. Bumps where I used to brace for impact are taken in stride. Even my wife noticed the difference and loves the way it rides now. So right now, this is probably the best modification I have done to this car. That's even including the hardtop and seats. It was such a game changer. I have even thought about going a little higher but we won't get ahead of ourselves.
