Oil Change Interval:
Typically 5,000 km to 10,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first, depending on engine type and operating conditions. Diesel engines often require more frequent changes.
Air Filter Replacement:
Recommended every 20,000 km to 40,000 km or as needed based on driving environment.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Diesel engines: typically 20,000 km to 40,000 km. Gasoline engines: longer intervals.
Engine Oil:
Diesel engines: API CF-4 or CH-4 rated 15W-40 or 5W-40 synthetic. Gasoline engines: API SJ or SL rated 10W-30 or 5W-30. Specific viscosity depends on climate.
Coolant:

Common Problems:
Potential issues can include turbocharger problems (especially on older diesels), EGR valve issues, injector problems, and suspension wear depending on usage. Electrical gremlins can occur in older vehicles.
Common Problems Diesel:
Early common rail diesel systems may be sensitive to fuel quality. Turbocharger wear and intercooler leaks are possible.
