Engine Oil Change Interval:
Typically 5,000 km or 3 months, whichever comes first (refer to specific manual for exact recommendations).
Transmission Fluid Change Interval:
Manual: 60,000 km, Automatic: 40,000 km (refer to specific manual for exact recommendations).
Engine Oil Viscosity:
API SG or higher; SAE 10W-30, 10W-40, or 5W-30 depending on climate.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze, typically green or orange (check for specific OEM spec).

Common Wear And Tear Items:
Suspension bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, exhaust system components, clutch wear (manual transmission), occasional radiator leaks.
Engine Specific Concerns:
Head gasket issues on some 4-cylinder engines under heavy load or poor maintenance; V6 engines generally robust but require diligent oil changes.
Transmission Concerns:
Automatic transmission shifts can become less smooth with age; manual clutch wear is typical for mileage.
