If I lived in a hotter climate or tracked the car then I would probably have a cooler. Agree on the oil. Change to a good quality synthetic with better heat properties.

Yeah, I plan on changing my tranny fluid, brake fluid, and clutch fluid out with the gtr stuff they have at the dealership as soon as i hit 1500-2000 miles. get all the little metal bits from the break in out of there! At that time i'll probably swap to a 5w-40 synthetic like rotella T6. had great experiences with it in the past.
side note - i heard the '13 and '14 got carbon synchros as well, which are apparently substantially better
