Besides keeping the oil level full (or slightly overfull), what preceautions do you take? I've heard from people that have had no problems while paying relativley little attention to the oil level, to people that have spun bearings (don't know what level of precaution, if any, they took) while autocrossing. How to play it safe? Randy
