🔧 Maintenance

Service Intervals

Oil Change Interval:

Typically every 15,000 km (9,300 miles) or 12 months, whichever comes first. Diesel models might have slightly different intervals, especially with turbocharging.

Timing Belt Replacement:

For 1.0L and 1.2L petrol engines (Z10XE, Z12XE), timing belt replacement is typically recommended around 90,000-100,000 miles or 6 years. For the 1.4L (Z14XE), it's similar. The 1.7 Diesel (Y17DT) uses a timing chain, requiring less frequent replacement, but checks are still important.

Brake Fluid Specification:

DOT 4

Transmission Fluid Manual:

GL-4 gear oil, typically 75W-85 or 75W-90
