Engine Oil Change:
Every 5,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first (severe driving conditions)
Engine Oil Filter Replacement:
With every oil change
Air Filter Replacement:
Every 20,000 km or 12 months
Spark Plug Replacement:
Every 40,000 km (refer to manual for specific plug type and gap)
Timing Belt Replacement:
Every 100,000 km or 5 years (critical component, failure can cause catastrophic engine damage)
Transmission Fluid Change:
Every 40,000 km or 24 months
Acd/Ayc Fluid Change:
Every 40,000 km or 24 months (specific fluid types required)
Engine Oil:

Engine Reliability:
Generally robust 4G63T, but can be susceptible to rod bearing failure under extreme stress or improper maintenance. Turbocharger seals can wear over time.
Drivetrain Durability:
ACD and AYC systems require diligent fluid maintenance to prevent wear. Differential seals can sometimes leak.
Suspension Components:
Bushings (especially control arm and subframe) can wear, affecting handling and alignment. Struts can lose damping over time.
Body Corrosion:
Can be an issue in regions with heavy road salt usage, particularly around wheel arches and sills.
