Oil Change Interval Petrol:
Typically 5,000-7,500 km (3,000-5,000 miles) or 6 months, whichever comes first, depending on usage.
Oil Change Interval Diesel:
Typically 5,000 km (3,000 miles) or 6 months, depending on usage and oil quality.
Timing Belt Replacement:
If belt-driven, typically every 60,000-100,000 km (37,000-60,000 miles). Chain-driven engines are maintenance-free in this regard.
Engine Oil Type Petrol:
API SF/SG or higher, viscosity typically 10W-30 or 10W-40, depending on ambient temperature (refer to manual for exact spec).
Engine Oil Type Diesel:
API CD/CE or higher, viscosity typically 15W-40, especially for turbodiesel variants (refer to manual for exact spec).
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze, mixed with distilled water in a 50/50 ratio. Manual will specify exact type.
Transmission Fluid Manual:
GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil, viscosity likely 75W-90 or 80W-90 (refer to manual).
Transmission Fluid Automatic:
Dexron II or equivalent automatic transmission fluid (ATF).
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.
Rust And Corrosion:
Common issue for vehicles of this age, particularly in areas exposed to salt. Frame and body panels are susceptible.
Diesel Engine Reliability:
Turbodiesel engines can be robust but may suffer from injector issues, turbocharger wear, or head gasket failures if poorly maintained.
Suspension Wear:
Bushings, ball joints, and tie rod ends can wear out due to off-road use and age.
Transfer Case And Axle Seals:
Leaking seals in the drivetrain components are common with age.
