Newbie-retard questions
Posting on behalf of my girlfriend who owns a 2002 or 2003 Solara V6 auto.
1) Is there something special about the Toyota oil filter to the point where we must use one? If not, does anyone use an oversized filter (from another car) in the Solara to get better oil filtration? I do this with my Pontiac Grand Prix. Instead of the stock size, I use one for a 4.3L Chevy.
2) What oil weight would be recommended for a very hot climate (Las Vegas, Nevada) in the Solara?
3) What are the most common mods you guys do to this car? (not including engine related such as headers, rockers, cam etc). Is there a chip or reprogrammed computer module available? Tranny cooler perhaps?
Thanks
