Unless you are doing hard core tracking often, I would only change the brake and clutch fluid to like the ATE Super Blue or the Motul for both fluids. Just don't forget to put the extra quart of oil for protection. Search for "Ranger" to find his clutch fluid repl method and you should be good to go.
