Perodua Kelisa Service Schedule: Intervals, Costs & What's Critical

Perodua Kelisa service: key facts

Oil service every 6,000 miles or 6 months
1 generation from 2002 to 2012
5 tracked service items across routine, major, and periodic schedules

Routine service items

These are the items covered in a standard service. Most garages include oil, oil filter and a basic inspection. The rest are typically checked or replaced on a schedule.

Service item	Interval	Typical cost
Engine oil and filter Small capacity engine requires frequent oil changes. Use 5W-30 specification oil. Change filter with every oil change to prevent premature wear. MK1	6,000 miles or 6 months	£40–£70
Air filter Replace annually or when visually dirty. Blocked filter affects performance and economy on small engines. Check more frequently in dusty conditions. MK1	12,000 miles or 1 year	£15–£25

Periodic maintenance

Items that don't need doing at every service but should be on your radar at the right mileage or age.

Service item	Interval	Typical cost
Spark plugs Replace every 2 years or when misfiring occurs. Use correct heat range specification. Worn plugs cause poor starting and increased emissions. MK1	20,000 miles or 2 years	£30–£50
Brake fluid Change every 2 years regardless of mileage. Brake fluid absorbs moisture which reduces braking performance and causes internal corrosion. MK1	2 years	£35–£55
Coolant flush Replace coolant and flush system every 4 years. Use correct antifreeze specification. Old coolant loses corrosion protection and can damage radiator and water pump. MK1	40,000 miles or 4 years	£50–£80
