Wear items

While the Maintenance System calls for
inspection of certain wear items, the
system does not make any judgment on the
condition of these wear items. Only a
qualified technician can determine if a
wear item needs to be replaced.
Tested and approved engine oils and
oil filters
Engine oils and oil filters are
specifically tested for their suitability
in our engines and durability for our
service intervals. Therefore, only use
approved engine oils and oil filters
required for vehicles with the
Maintenance System. Conventional
petroleum-based oils must not be used for
