I dont..and my source doesnt..consider a month long-term use. If you intend to use RBF600 for 1 or 2 events a year, then you should flush before an event, but most people Ive run into dont use $15/bottle fluid for 1 or 2 events a year when they wont be seeing that much energy in the system.

But..youre welcome to flush a few oz before an event, just that a # of weeks isnt an issue....no worries.

The thing bout the old fluid burnt after an event, is the larger volume of fluid (a bottle) required to clear it all out once it migrates up to your MC. Even with an ABS pump in there, you can get the gummy stuff up that far in just a few weeks to a month..at least on my Z06 I can start seeing brown fluid up there that fast. If the fluid degrades that far up in the system, you have no choice but to perform full flushes as a matter of routine maintenance if you dont pull a few oz's after race days.

Someday on the RX7 I'll actually install the recirc system so I wont boil fluid in that car anymore.
