Keep in mind those numbers are for the standard maintenance schedules. If you intend to track the kits pretty regularly, aka around 12+ times per year, and have a personal record of being at the top pack of the day, then additional preventative maintenance should be considered on all fluids in the vehicle. Heat breaks down everything over time (various schedules) and as a PREVENTATIVE MEASURE, it's always better to change it out a little earlier than later. Preventative maintenance on properly driven cars will keep your car running for a long time with minimal downtime.
As for belt slip, I understand it in my head, but I can't quite put the words to explain the function of belt slip. What I do know is excessive belt slipping or breaking is a function of poor engineering design. As for Vortech's belt slip issue, those inquiries should be sent directly to Vortech. This particular thread isn't to discuss Vortech's issues.
