Filter Replacement:
Air filter, cabin filter, fuel filter at specified intervals (e.g., 30,000-60,000 km)
Timing Belt Chain:
Timing belt replacement critical for K-series engines (e.g., 90,000-100,000 km or 5-6 years). Later models may use timing chains.
Engine Oil:
Refer to manual for specific viscosity (e.g., 5W-30, 0W-20) and API/ACEA specifications. Example: Castrol EDGE Professional A5 0W-30 for Si4.
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant, typically a long-life formulation (e.g., Land Rover Coolant OAT).
