Note
Note
Not valid for USA.
•
The engine oil and oil filter must be changed every 10,000 km (6,000 mls) on vehicles which are
•
operated in countries where the fuel has a high sulphur content (country coding M 150 in the control
module).
• On vehicles with annual mileages of less than 15,000 km (9,000 mls), an annual maintenance must be
carried out once a year.
• Maintenance with oil filter change must be carried out at least every 2 years according to the mileage,
if the mileage for a major maintenance has not already been reached.
• For an annual mileage of more than 15,000 km (9,000 mls) we recommend carrying out the next
maintenance straight away.
• The term 'checking' includes all necessary subsequent work such as adjusting, readjusting, correcting
and topping up, but does not include repairing, replacing and reconditioning parts or assemblies.
