Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knows of anything special that should be done to a rav4 (2001) when using it at high altitudes (8,000 feet ... the altitude of my new home, Aspen, CO). I was told by my sister that there is 40% less oxygen in the air, so I'm assuming I'll probably notice lower power, lower gas mileage, etc ... I can't tell how its been so far going into Denver because I'm pulling a heavy load. I don't know if maybe there are adjustments I should make, maybe changes having to do with the timing of oil changes, they type of gas, the type of air filter ... Do you think the ECU will automatically adjust the car to perform the best it can with less oxygen in the air?
Thanks for your help!!!
