Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 3,000-5,000 miles or 3-6 months, depending on driving conditions (refer to manual for specifics).
Timing Belt Replacement:
Crucial for 2.2L FE-DOHC and F2 engines. Typically around 60,000 miles or as specified in the manual. Failure can cause severe engine damage.
Engine Oil Type:
API SG, SF or SE, SAE 5W-30 or 10W-30 (check manual for specific viscosity based on temperature).
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze/coolant, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water.
Transmission Fluid Automatic:
Dexron II or equivalent (check manual for exact specification).
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 (check manual for specific recommendation).
Common Issue 1:
Timing belt wear and potential failure on 2.2L engines (critical maintenance item).
Common Issue 2:
Rust and corrosion, particularly in wheel wells, rocker panels, and around windows.
Common Issue 3:
