Automatic transmission fluid
Use only the specified genuine fluid. Severe conditions A/C/F/G/H/I/J/K are defined in the linked manual. The 6.5 L table value is not asserted as a routine drain/refill quantity.
VerifiedBrake fluid and inspection
Check the reservoir and inspect any low level, warning light or changed pedal feel before driving. Repeated topping-up is not a repair.
VerifiedCabin air filter
Check reduced ventilation airflow and inspect the cabin filter where fitted. Follow the year-specific instructions for access and installation direction.
VerifiedEngine air filter
Inspect the filter housing and replace the element on the applicable schedule, sooner in dusty use when the manual requires it.
VerifiedEngine coolant
Check the reservoir level with the engine cold and investigate repeated coolant loss. Coolant type and replacement procedure matter as much as capacity.
VerifiedRear differential oil
Owner-table capacity reference; not a verified drain/refill procedure. Confirm the actual AWD system and use its specified oil.
VerifiedSpark plugs
Use the engine-specific plug type. Check the service schedule and inspect ignition faults before replacing parts.
VerifiedTires and rotation
Check cold pressures, tread wear and damage. Use the vehicle placard for the fitted tire size and load rather than the tire sidewall maximum.
VerifiedTransfer case oil
Owner-table capacity reference; not a verified drain/refill procedure. Confirm the actual AWD system and use its specified oil.
