Introduction

• If you recently bought a second-hand Jimny and are not confident in its service history, change ALL fluids and filters, the sooner the better.
  • All fluids and filters stated below should be periodically changed anyway.
• The replacement intervals are written in the owner's manual.

Fluids and filters

That means oils in:

• engine;
• front axle;
• rear axle;
• gearbox;
• transfer box;
• power steering;
• brakes;
• air conditioning oil and coolant (if fitted);

Don't forget the engine coolant as well.

Filters are:

• engine oil filter;
• engine air intake filter;
• cabin (pollen, air conditioning) filter;
• fuel filter for DDiS (diesel) Jimnys;

Additional notes

Because Jimnys have been in production for almost 20 years, and in various revisions and editions, there is no universal specification for adequate fluid types.

However, details of the common specifications are written in the "Forecourt" wiki article.

If you want to be certain about the exact fluid specifications for your particular vehicle, the required fluid specifications and quantities are written in the owner's manual.

If you don't have the original owner's manual for your particular vehicle, you can determine the name of the correct manual in the wiki page "Manuals and Owners Guides".

Before you drain any fluid, first check if the filler plug, screw or cap for that fluid can be completely removed.
Sometimes it can't be unscrewed due to age or curse!
You do not want to end up stranded with a drained system which you can not refill!
