Drive belts
Inspect the belts for cracks and other damage. Replace if necessary.
Engine oil
SKYACTIV-G 2.0 and SKYACTIV-G 2.5
When changing the engine oil, use API SG/SH/SJ/SL/SM/SN or ILSAC GF-II/GF-III/GF-IV/GF-V oil of the proper viscosity for your climate.
SKYACTIV-D 2.2
When changing the engine oil, use ACEA C1 or JASO DL-1 oil of the proper viscosity for your climate.
Change it more frequently during heavy use under any of these conditions:
Dusty environment
Extended idling or low-speed operations
Driving for a prolonged period in cold temperatures or in an extremely humid climate
Repeated short-distance driving
Oil filter
Do not fail to change the oil filter as prescribed. As with the engine oil, under severe driving conditions, the filter should be changed more frequently.
Cooling system
When inspecting hoses (including the heater hose), connections, and clamps, look for leaks, swellings, cracks, and other damage. Replace any defective hose or part.
Engine coolant
Change the coolant and flush the cooling system as prescribed.
