Service Intervals General
Oil Change Interval:
Every 5,000 - 7,500 miles (8,000 - 12,000 km) or 6 months, depending on driving conditions (refer to manual for exact recommendation).
Engine Oil Filter Replacement:
Replace with every oil change.
Engine Air Filter Replacement:
Inspect every 15,000 miles, replace as needed (typically every 30,000 miles).
Cabin Air Filter Replacement:
Inspect every 15,000 miles, replace as needed (typically every 15,000-30,000 miles).
Coolant Flush Interval:
First flush at 105,000 miles, then every 45,000 miles thereafter (or per manual specification).
Transmission Fluid Change Interval:
Automatic transmission fluid: Inspect every 30,000 miles, replace at 60,000-100,000 miles (severe use may require sooner).
Brake Fluid Change Interval:
Every 2-3 years or 30,000-45,000 miles, check level and condition regularly.
Engine Oil Type:
SAE 5W-20, API SN or higher (for 2.0L and 2.4L engines). Refer to manual for exact specification.
