Even the older cars with the external CSC would fail but they stayed cooler also because they were mounted on the outside of the bell housing. Regular brake fluid won't cut it either, Dot 4 is needed. As you see, heat is the enemy from having issues on your long trip.
wow, I always complain about her being a moody bitch. I'm glad the Z didn't give up on me during the road trip. I guess I'll be picking up some Motul 600 and get on it asap. 1 bottle for 500ml should be enough right?

That is why before a long trip its advisable to have the fluids checked or changed.

You lucky your Z was good enough not to fail you while on the road trip.
That sounds like it. I failed to check my fluids as I was more worried about getting new tires before the trip. This car must really love me to not have given up on me after a 2800 mile round trip.

That's nasty, I'll go look at my fluid right now and post a picture
