If you recently bought a second-hand Jimny and are not confident in its service history, change ALL 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)
  • engine coolant


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 can be found on the Forecourt page.

Required fluid specifications and quantities are written in the owner's manual. If you don't have the original owner's manual of your particular vehicle, you can determine the name of the correct manual in the wiki page Manuals and Owners Guide

Filters are:

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