After that, just change the fluid at regular maintenance intervals (sooner if you are tracking a lot) or if you ever boil the fluid. I wouldn't use track pads on the street, as you won't be able to generate enough heat on the rotors with daily driving to maintain the transfer layer of brake pad compound, and very soon after your track day you will be enjoying a symphony of squealing pigs.

Ok Great!! So it would be ok for
me to just put track pads on with stock fluid for my first track day? My car is brand new, I'll be lucky if I have 1000 miles on it by Saturday(track day)
