Maintenance
|
Service Intervals
|
Oil Change Interval:
|
Typically every 10,000-15,000 miles (15,000-20,000 km) or annually, whichever comes first, depending on engine oil type and driving conditions. Consult manual for specific recommendations.
|
Timing Belt Replacement:
|
Critical for Twin Spark engines, usually recommended every 3-4 years or 30,000-50,000 miles (50,000-80,000 km). Failure can lead to catastrophic engine damage. JTD engines typically use timing chains.
|
Fluid Specifications
|
Engine Oil Type:
|
Refer to manual for specific API, ACEA specifications and SAE viscosity grades (e.g., Selenia K Pure Energy 5W-40, or equivalent SAE 5W-30/5W-40). JTD engines often require ACEA C3 compliant oils.
|
Coolant Type:
|
Paraflu UP (antifreeze/coolant) or equivalent ethylene glycol-based coolant with appropriate corrosion inhibitors, mixed 50/50 with distilled water.
|
Brake Fluid Type:
|
DOT 4 brake fluid.
|
Known Issues
|
Common Wear Items:
|
Wear on suspension bushings, ball joints, and steering components; potential issues with the MAF sensor on diesel engines; electric window regulators; thermostat housing leaks.
|
Twin Spark Specific:
|
Spark plug wear (especially the secondary plugs), potential for oil in spark plug wells, and the importance of timely timing belt replacement.
|
Jtd Diesel Specific:
|
EGR valve issues, DPF regeneration problems (on models so equipped), and injector wear.
