Maintenance
Typical interval: 40,000 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 van, use matters more than age: heavy loads, short trips and long idling wear the clutch, rear brakes and particulate filter. Check the rear tyres and dampers and the side and rear doors, and tell the workshop about urban delivery use.
Comparing generations
