Typically 10,000-15,000 km (6,000-9,000 miles) or annually, but specific intervals for engine oil and filter depend on driving conditions and are detailed in the manual.
|
|
Timing Belt Replacement:
|
For the petrol engines (XU series), the timing belt typically requires replacement every 60,000-80,000 km (37,000-50,000 miles) or 5 years. Diesel timing belt intervals might differ. The manual provides precise intervals and procedures.
