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.

If you want to be certain about the exact fluids' 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 of your particular vehicle, you can determine the name of the correct manual in the wiki page Manuals and Owners Guides.

Note: 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!

Filters are:

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