the great thing about cars is that pretty much anything is possible. However the bad thing is even though it’s possible it’s more than likely going to be expensive. Looking at that list I can guarantee it’s going to be expensive.
Since when is oil filter a mod?
if it makes it run better and can improve performance depending on the oil i would call it a modifcation. (say if you had an oil cooler with it along with new oil , you could change gears quicker or slower depending on how viscous you want the oil)
I heavely modified my car then
so your telling me , that if say put normal oil on a rally car it wouldn’t make any difference at all? , wouldn’t make the gears over heat or anything from the amount of friction?
Oil can make a difference depending on how viscous it is (which allows you to shift slower or quicker through gears) and how long the gears will last which in turn affects things like your 0-60 time etc (not by much i know but it does make a difference)
They’re all possible but I recommend you to swap for a 4 cylinder maybe from a Polo or Golf first.
