Pre & post?
I got SST tuned by Bryan@GST before I installed the upgraded coolers.

Kinda got lucky, I bought the coolers from Mike@RRE & got SST tuning.

So after sst tune I notice the difference in initial throttle response & smoother SST shifting.

I installed the additional coolers after, I drove it very very conservatively for about two weeks. To make sure I didnt have any leaks or destroy my SST, etc.. No leak = good.


I changed mine around 32k miles.

Fluid will lose its color after heat get to it over time.
Starts out neon green & will turn dark brown.

I still cant exactly describe how it smells. I will get back to you on that one. I can say It is not something I would like to inhale.

Cooler fluid should give you a bit longer life than fluid under thermal break down.

25k doesnt sound bad if you can afford to.

Im well over 38k miles. Still smooth..
