What weight motor oil does anyone use in these things? Have a 97 Carry w/ a 660cc I think. Also does Fram make an oil filter for it? Any help appreciated...

10w-30 is recommended for 0 degrees fahrenheit , up to 90 degrees .that's in my daihatsu book. not sure about the filter but would guess it is the same as a 1.0 (metro) Suzuki motor.

Typically in the winter you'll wanna see 5W-30 so you can get flow to the engine with the lower temps, summer you'll wanna use 10W-30 so your oil doesn't thin to much in the summer heat

The filter I use is a CarQuest filter #R85394 or a Napa # 21394.
I would use 5w /30w in all year round. Also the air filter # is 2143 Napa .

I used 5w-30 oil and a filter I bought at Auto Zone. Somewhere I have written down the cross reference numbers for the different brands.
The air filter I couldnt find anywhere, I bought it from Chad Hite, a member on here. I think he sells them on ebay too.
