I've seen this happen plenty of times. Just pay attention to the car, and you'll be ok. As Mike said, as soon as you have feel anything odd, back off and take a cool off lap if allowed. Regardless of whether or not you're allowed a cool-off lap, get back to the pits.

As far as where to purchase from... We've got a wall full of Motul

Give me a call! The info is below.
