Remark

*1

Engine oil and engine oil filter

  • As it is normal for engine oil to be consumed during driving, the engine oil level should be checked on regular basis.

  • The engine oil change interval for normal operating conditions is based on the use of the recommended engine specification. If the recommended engine oil specification is not used, then replace the engine oil according to the maintenance schedule under severe operating conditions.

  • Never add any additives to the engine oil. Engine oil additives can change the properties of engine oil and may cause serious engine failure.

*2

Coolant (Engine)

When adding coolant, use only deionized water or soft water for your vehicle and never mix hard water in the coolant filled at the factory. An improper coolant mixture can result in serious malfunction or engine damage.
