Maintenance
Typical interval: 30,000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first. Engine, model year and severe use may require a shorter interval; do not exceed the service warning. The listed oil approvals are not interchangeable: check the one for the engine. Brake fluid: generally replaced every 2 years; inspect the brakes at each service.
Body style and inspection points
On a pick-up, identify the actual drivetrain (two- or four-wheel drive, low range) before adding axle and transfer-case servicing. After off-road or towing use, have the gaiters, leaf springs and load-bed mountings checked.

Other documented generations of this model: • Ranger IV (from 2023) : pick-up, 170–205 hp. A first registration near a generation change does not identify the car on its own: check the body style and powertrain before using a service schedule.
