tial to ensure correct operation and prevent serious

tions.

demanding use (cold climates, city driving, long peri-
ods of idling) or at least every five years.

ing the engine oil filter depends on the vehicle usage
conditions and is signalled by the warning light or
message (if present) on the instrument panel or every
12 months.

environment the engine air filter has to be changed
every 6,500 miles (10,000 km).
