SSP is the singular authority on anything aftermarket SST stuff, it's gospel. I just did an early flush based off their maintenance schedule. Props and thanks for doing all the research

I'm not sure exactly how the pro's are going to weigh in here but in my experience thus far, if you have more than 15K miles on your fluid/filter and you are having a problem, try changing your fluid/filter first. Even as expensive as it is, it is still the cheapest solution and has at least a 50% success rate. Some guides on fluid changes will recommend a mineral oil flush as part of the process, afaik this is still the recommended flushing procedure.

Although, it would be nice to hear what the big boys are doing these days. I don't think I've seen any significant updates on this front in years. Maybe @Kozmic27 or @SSPKris wants to tell me I'm wrong?
