I don't think there'd be much of a difference except probably for the type of fluids you have to use. Kasi malamig din naman sa Japan diba, pero yung mga engines galing dun e dinadala naman dito with not much of a problem. I think she should consult the dealer with regards to engine specifics para safe, may mga tolerances naman yan and besides the fluids, I don't think that those tolerances are too small.
