API Service SG or SH, SAE 5W-30 or 10W-30 (check manual for specific temperature ranges).
Engine mounts can wear out, leading to excessive vibration, especially at idle or during acceleration.
Common Failures Transmission:
The early electronically controlled transmissions (A604/A670) could be prone to issues with the valve body, solenoids, and torque converter clutch, especially with neglected fluid changes.
Common Failures Suspension:
Wear in front suspension components like ball joints, tie rod ends, and wheel bearings is common due to vehicle weight and mileage.
Common Failures Body Rust:
As with many vehicles of this age, rust can be a concern in certain climates, particularly around wheel wells, rocker panels, and the rear hatch area.
