Maintenance
Typical interval: 26,000 km or 12 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. Ingenium diesels can show up to about 34,000 km or 2 years depending on version; short trips and oil dilution may shorten this. Belt-driven TDV6: a common reference is 182,000 km or 7 years, with the pump belt checked separately.
