Oil and Coolant Questions :)
Hey Guys,
Couple of questions I need help on....
1) I am running low on Oil since my last oil change at the lexus dealer. (What type of Oil should I use to "top it off", and is it bad if that oil is not the same as Lexus'.
--->sorry if these are stupid questions (which they probably are), but I'm not properly educated in this genre.
2) If some of you remember, I had a engine swap a few months ago. The mechanic didn't put Toyota Engine coolant in my engine. I know this because it is a greenish color from what I remember. My Coolant level is also pretty low. ----->** Should I just go and buy more coolant that is green (because you aren't supposed to mix colors from what I hear), or would it be better to flush it out and but in the Toyota Coolant?
Your help is always greatly appreciated! Thanks,
-Jason
