Engine Oil Change and Filter Replacement

ENGINE OIL CHANGE AND FILTER REPLACEMENT

In a minimum, change the engine oil and oil filter once a year - even if the vehicle mileage per year is extremely low. For standard oil service schedules, please see the chapter oil service and maintenance service.

Once a Year

Select the viscosity of the engine oil (SAE classes) according to the outside air temperature.

CAUTION: Use of the approved fluid is required if the ASSYST Oil Service Reminder is followed. Use of a lower quality oil on this service schedule may cause severe engine damage. Fluid Type Specifications

If the fuel used has a sulphur content exceeding 0.05 % by weight, the service intervals should be split in half.

If the sulphur content of the fuel used is between 0.3% and 0.8% by weight, the service intervals should be split in half (i.e. every 5,000 miles instead of every 10,000 miles).
