Engine Oil Change:
Every 5,000 - 7,500 miles (8,000 - 12,000 km) or 6-12 months, whichever comes first (refer to manual for exact interval based on driving conditions).
Air Filter Replacement:
Every 15,000 - 30,000 miles (24,000 - 48,000 km).
Spark Plugs:
Every 30,000 - 60,000 miles (48,000 - 96,000 km), depending on plug type.
Timing Belt:
Critical component. Replacement typically recommended every 60,000 - 90,000 miles (96,000 - 144,000 km) or 5-7 years. Failure can cause catastrophic engine damage. Manual will specify exact interval and procedure.
Engine Oil Type:
