Service Intervals
|
Interval Guidelines:
|
The manual provides specific service intervals for oil changes, filter replacements, coolant flushes, brake fluid changes, spark plugs, and timing belt/chain checks based on mileage and time. For example, engine oil and filter changes are typically recommended every 10,000 km (6,000 miles) or 12 months.
|
Fluid Specifications
|
Engine Oil Spec:
|
Likely specifies API SN or ACEA A3/B4 compliant synthetic or semi-synthetic engine oil, with viscosity grades such as 5W-30 or 5W-40 depending on climate. Exact specifications are within the manual.
|
Coolant Spec:
|
Requires a high-quality ethylene glycol-based coolant, typically a silicate-free formulation. The manual will specify the correct coolant type and mixture ratio (e.g., 50/50 with distilled water).
|
Known Issues
|
Common Wear Items:
|
Common items for this model and age might include suspension components (bushings, ball joints), exhaust system integrity, and potential issues with the HVAC system evaporator core or blower motor, all of which are addressed in the troubleshooting sections.
