- Engine oil and filter
- Air filter
- Spark plugs
- Brake fluid, change and bleed. Usually every 2 years, more so if your off roading often.
- Anti freeze, every 3 years recommend, but I do it more often than that.
- front and rear axel oils, gearbox and transfer box oil.
- Greece prop shaft.
Not in the manual to replace it as a service item but from my experience replace the PCV every 3-5 years depending on mileage, better to prevent then to cure!

Hi Nicho, I have scanned an official Suzuki service check list which is very comprehensive. At the top has the yearly/mileage intervals and down the side what needs checking/replacing

PCV is short for positive crankcase ventilation, it can cause you a lot of grief if it goes faulty, see the link below that explains what it does, and here is a photo of one from my Jimny when it did go faulty at approximately 45000 miles. Suzuki dealerships check them at 6 years / 54000 miles if you have your Jimny regularly serviced.

It is, PCV ( positive crankcase ventilation valve) . Not listed as a serviceable annual replacement part but for about £20 its worth replacing every 3-5 Years though to maintain engine running, performance and condition.
