Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 10,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first (check manual for specific grade).
Air Filter Replacement:
Every 30,000-40,000 km or as needed based on driving conditions.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Around 60,000-100,000 km for standard plugs, or higher for iridium/platinum plugs (verify in manual).
Brake Fluid Replacement:
Every 2-3 years or 40,000-60,000 km.

Initial change at high mileage (e.g., 160,000 km) then every 80,000 km or 4-5 years.
Engine Oil Grade:
Likely 0W-16 or 0W-20 for petrol models, 5W-30 for diesel. Exact specification must be confirmed from the manual.
Engine Oil Capacity:
Approximately 3.2 - 3.5 liters (with filter) for 1.2L petrol.
Transmission Fluid Manual:

Engine Considerations:
The K12 engine series is generally reliable. Potential for carbon buildup on intake valves in higher mileage vehicles or those with short-trip usage. DDiS engines can be susceptible to injector issues if fuel quality is poor.
Electrical Quirks:
Occasional sensor failures (e.g., O2 sensors, crank/cam position sensors) are possible, as with any vehicle. The extensive wiring diagrams in this manual are crucial for diagnosis.
