are you sure its from boilng the fluid or maybe over heating your falkens???


Both the Vavoline and Redline fluids would be an improvement over stock for Thermal Resistance... Cant seem to find any specs on what temp they are good to though.

Alot of trucks and some cars come with factory power steering oil coolers. They look just like engine oil coolers.
