🔧 Maintenance

Oil Change Interval:

Typically every 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first (check manual for exact recommendation based on driving conditions).

Air Filter Replacement:

Recommended every 30,000-60,000 km or as needed based on environment.

Spark Plug Replacement:

For 16V petrol engines, often around 60,000-100,000 km (refer to manual for specific type, e.g., iridium or platinum).

Timing Belt Replacement:

Crucial for interference engines; typically recommended every 90,000-120,000 km or 5-6 years. The 2.0i 16V likely uses a timing belt.
