Engine Type Common:
Inline 4-Cylinder, Diesel (Naturally Aspirated or Turbocharged) or Petrol.
Horsepower Range:
Approximately 70-95 HP for diesel, 85-100 HP for petrol, depending on specific engine.
Torque Range:
Torque figures vary significantly by engine, with diesels generally offering better low-end torque for off-roading.
Fuel Delivery:
Diesel: Indirect Injection with Rotary or Inline Injection Pump. Petrol: Carbureted or early Fuel Injection.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 5,000 - 10,000 km (3,000 - 6,000 miles) or 6-12 months, depending on driving conditions and oil type specified in the manual.
Transmission Fluid Interval:
Refer to manual for specific intervals, often around 40,000 - 80,000 km (25,000 - 50,000 miles) for manual and automatic transmissions.
Engine Oil Type Diesel:
Diesel engine oil meeting API CD or higher, with viscosity grade typically 10W-30 or 15W-40 depending on climate.
Engine Oil Type Petrol:
Petrol engine oil meeting API SG or higher, with viscosity grade typically 10W-30 or 10W-40.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene Glycol based antifreeze/coolant, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Specific OEM color might be recommended.
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid, depending on system specifications. Crucial to use the correct type to avoid seal damage.
Transmission Fluid Manual:
GL-4 Gear Oil, with specific viscosity grade (e.g., 75W-90 or 80W-90).
Transmission Fluid Automatic:
Dexron II or equivalent ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid).
Transfer Case Fluid:
