Engine Oil Change:
Every 7,500 - 10,000 km (4,500 - 6,000 miles) or 6-12 months, whichever comes first. Check manual for specific recommendations.
Oil Filter Replacement:
At every engine oil change.
Air Filter Replacement:
Every 15,000 - 20,000 km (9,000 - 12,000 miles) or annually.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Every 40,000 - 60,000 km (24,000 - 36,000 miles) depending on spark plug type (copper vs. platinum).
Timing Belt Replacement:
Every 60,000 - 100,000 km (36,000 - 60,000 miles). Critical to follow as failure can cause severe engine damage.
Engine Oil:
API SG or higher, SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40. Check manual for specific viscosity and temperature range.
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Use of de-icer additives may be specified.

Rust And Corrosion:
Body panels and undercarriage can be susceptible to rust, especially in regions with harsh winters or high humidity.
Suspension Wear:
Ball joints, tie rod ends, and bushings can wear over time, leading to clunks or imprecise steering.
HVAC Performance:
Air conditioning systems may lose charge over time or develop leaks in hoses and seals. Heater core can also be a failure point.
