What problem are you solving with the silicone? I've heard many arguments back
and forth among racers, autocrossers, concours folk, and noone has any
compelling argument for it's overall benefit.
Also I've done track days, autocrossed, and shown my 2500M (and assorted Fiats)
and have no trouble or complaints against the standard Castrol LMA.
(Brake pad material, that's a different story!)
Of course this has been mostly here in the cool NorthWest, I can't speak to
what might have happened in Arizona :)
