This may sound stupid but is it ok to drill holes through carbon fiber for my oil light and ket start? I have the holes drilled for my key and oil light in the stock hood right now but i just bought a carbon fiber one and was wondering how the carbon fiber material takes to a drill?

I cant find my owners manual and was wondering how many ounces of coolant the 450R holds?

One more question :)......i have a few quarts of synthetic blend oil in the garage left over and was wondering if that is ok to run in the 450R. Im about to install a hotmcam camshaft and it says not to use systhetic blend oils, only petroleum based. The owners manual states the same. just wondering if it was the manufacturer trying to play it safe or if it is ok to run the sysnthetic blend oils?
