Periodic Maintenance (For Europe except U.K.) — Engine Oil Service
MA-8spec tableEuropean (except U.K.) schedule. Gasoline service splits references by SR series vs GA series; non-turbo gasoline uses API SF/SG, turbo uses API SG only. Diesel uses API CD; EGR-equipped diesels use dual-element filter Part No. 15208-40L00.
The following tables show the normal maintenance schedule. Depending upon weather and atmospheric conditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent maintenance may be required.
IMPORTANT
Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.
