PERIODIC MAINTENANCE (For Europe except U.K.)
MA-6spec tableFor Europe except U.K. *1 items apply to Non-catalyzer models only. *2 items apply to Catalyzer models only. Items marked * should be performed more frequently under severe driving conditions.
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 will be required.
IMPORTANT
Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.
