The C7 Corvette has the Cosworth-developed Performance Data Recorder and associated analysis software, so I can see detailed vehicle health stats when I take it out on the track. Here is the data it provides for the "vehicle health".
I am trying to ascertain if any of these seem too high or if they would warrant a much shorter change interval. I've never had this level of data available before and am seeking advice on how to adjust my maintenance intervals and product selection, if at all.
Note: ambient temps were about 80 F on this day and the session was about 30 minutes long. These values are pretty close to what I've seen on other track days.
