Service Intervals Engine Oil
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 15,000 km or 1 year, whichever comes first, depending on engine oil specification used.
Service Intervals Filters
Air Oil Filters:
Air filter and cabin filter replacement typically every 30,000 km or 2 years. Oil filter at each oil change.
Engine Oil:
Refer to manual for specific SAE viscosity grade (e.g., 5W-30, 5W-40) and API/ACEA specifications (e.g., API SL/SM, ACEA A3/B4).
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant, typically OAT (Organic Acid Technology) type, with a specific concentration for freeze protection.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 4 brake fluid.
Common Complaints:
Potential for minor electrical gremlins, suspension wear (especially bushings), and occasional catalytic converter issues depending on mileage and usage.
Replacement Interval:
Platinum or Iridium spark plugs typically have longer service intervals, often around 60,000-90,000 km. Refer to manual for specific type and interval.
Replacement Interval:
If equipped with a timing belt (common on K7J/K7M engines), replacement is typically recommended every 80,000-120,000 km or 5-6 years.
