🔧 Maintenance

Engine Oil Change:

Every 7,500 - 10,000 miles or 6-12 months, whichever comes first (refer to manual for specific oil type and viscosity).

Transmission Fluid Change:

Manual: Periodically (e.g., every 60,000 miles). Automatic: Every 30,000-50,000 miles (check for specific fluid type and procedure).

Engine Oil Specification:

Typically API SG/SH/SJ, viscosity grade 5W-30 or 10W-40 (check owner's manual for exact specifications).

Coolant Specification:

Ethylene glycol-based coolant with a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water. Consult manual for specific color/type (e.g., OAT or HOAT).

Brake Fluid Specification:

DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid (check manual).

Common Wear Items:

Ignition coils, spark plugs, brake pads/rotors, suspension bushings, exhaust system components, clutch wear.

Potential Electrical Problems:

Issues with window regulators, central locking, and dashboard warning lights can occur with age.

Timing Belt Replacement:

Crucial for 0.8L engines (interference engine). Typically every 60,000 miles or 4 years. Check manual for specific interval. M100/M150 0.8L (F8CV) IS an interference engine. Later 1.0L (F10D) engines may be non-interference or have different intervals.
