but anyways. i was wonderiing if any one could give me some advice. i live in reno nv, and im moving to scottsdale az. thats 2 completely different climates hahaha onces cold ones really HOTTT  i know im going to need a tune...but i dont have the money yet to re tune my car for the climate.
any ideas of what i should do to my car to insure it running awesome since its always going to be like 100 degrees ....when moving down there? i heard i should go with a thinner oil. what else could i do!? different coolant!? is there anything i can do!?
now another question. i have a kenwood dvd screen and an amp and speakers and subs in my car. i think its draining power from my battery and amp. because when i plug in my radar detector sometimes it will read LOW VOLT. i was wondering if anyone knows if i can take my car to a shop and have them UP THE WATTS on my ALTERNATOR. or where i can buy a bigger alternator to fix this problem. thanks = ] |
Ok,why would you go with a thinner oil if your going to a warmer climate?Thinner oil for colder climate,thicker oil for a warmer climate.This info is easy to find,like in the owners manual.You could use a 66/33 coolant mix.More water (distilled/de-ionized) and less antifreeze.Try cleaning all your ground connections (both ends including the negative battery terminal).You can also try buying/making a ground kit and install it.It will help.Then there is the "big three"
