(1) When the vehicle is used under severe conditions, replace the engine oil and engine oil filter every 3 months or 4, 800 km (3, 000 miles).
(2) When the vehicle is used under extremely low or high temperature conditions, the fuel filter may become dirty. Therefore, it should be replaced frequently.
