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 Perodua specifies 10,000km (6,200 miles) or 6 months. SXI	6,000 miles or 6 months	£45–£65 Dealer: £75–£105
Air filter Replace annually or 20,000km. Check every 6 months in dusty conditions. A clogged filter affects fuel economy and performance on this small-capacity engine. SXI	12,000 miles or 1 year	£15–£25 Dealer: £25–£40
Cabin pollen filter Replace annually. Located behind glove box. A blocked filter reduces heater and air conditioning efficiency and can cause musty odours. SXI	12,000 miles or 1 year	£20–£35 Dealer: £35–£55

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 30,000km or 2 years. Use NGK or Denso plugs to manufacturer specification. Worn plugs cause poor idle and increased fuel consumption. SXI	20,000 miles or 2 years	£35–£55 Dealer: £65–£85
Brake fluid Replace every 2 years regardless of mileage. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, reducing boiling point and causing internal corrosion. Use DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification. SXI	2 years	£45–£65 Dealer: £75–£95
Coolant flush Replace every 100,000km or 5 years. Use ethylene glycol-based coolant meeting Japanese JIS K2234 standard. Old coolant loses anti-corrosion properties and can cause radiator and water pump damage. SXI	60,000 miles or 5 years	£65–£95 Dealer: £95–£135
