Engine
Drive belts
Inspect the belts for cracks and other damage. Replace if necessary.
Engine oil
SKYACTIV-G 2.5
When changing the engine oil, use API SL/SM/SN or ILSAC GF-III/GF-IV/GF-V oil of the proper viscosity for your climate.
SKYACTIV-G 2.5T
When changing the engine oil, use API SM/SL or ILSAC GF-IV/GF-V oil of the proper viscosity for your climate.
SKYACTIV-D 2.2
When changing the engine oil, use ACEA C3 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.
Ignition System
Exhaust Emission Control System
E.G.R. system
The EGR valve must function properly and no leaks can be evident in the pipes and connections. Replace any damaged part.
Clean the pipes, valve and connections from time to time.
Do not touch the EGR pipes while the engine is running or until they have cooled off after the engine is stopped:
EGR pipes are extremely hot during engine operation and for a while after operation. Touching them could cause severe burns.
