Just pop it in the microwave....

Or ship it here and I'll just leave it in the sun.

Haha, hah, I guess I slipped up and didn't push those fill/drain plugs in this thread too where the OP could'a used 'em.

On these oils, I swear I push these products more than any one manufacturer we have ever utilized on the race track.

I think people tend to be faithful to whatever they use, have seen others use or been instructed to use and never really do the research or give another product a second look.
I don't have a problem with it, but if some DO make it to the stage of considering a look see, they will not find flashy Purple Funny Cars or Danica Patrick with a bottle in her hand and they might be a little confused by seeing giant mining dump trucks and bulldozers on the home page.
It doesn't seem to be that Swepco targets racing at all but their products are right up there at the top of the heap on specs and ingredients.

The clutch pedal can also hang up on a worn pin behind the pedal. You might check there first, it's a known problem and I've seen / replaced two that were catching and holding the pedal down.
Removing the drivers seat and steering wheel helps to gain access if you're a little bigger and / or tall. Over time the pin develops a grove and catches. Best to remove the pin and inspect.
Be warned, this project is a pain.
