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 Manufacturer specifies 12,000 miles or 12 months. X70, X62	12,000 miles or 1 year	£80–£120 Dealer: £120–£180
Air filter Replace every 24,000 miles or 2 years. Check more frequently in dusty conditions. Clogged filter reduces power and increases fuel consumption. X70, X62	24,000 miles or 2 years	£25–£40 Dealer: £40–£65
Fuel filter Replace every 36,000 miles or 3 years. Critical on diesel engines. Water separator should be drained regularly. Blocked filter causes poor running and potential injection system damage. X70, X62	36,000 miles or 3 years	£45–£70 Dealer: £70–£110
Cabin pollen filter Replace every 24,000 miles or 2 years. Blocked filter reduces heater efficiency and causes windscreen misting. Check annually in high-pollen areas. X70, X62	24,000 miles or 2 years	£20–£35 Dealer: £35–£55

Major service items

These are the big-ticket items. Miss them and you risk engine or gearbox damage. The costs are higher but the consequences of skipping are much worse.

Service item	Interval	Typical cost
Gearbox oil Manufacturer claims lifetime fill but specialists recommend change every 72,000 miles. Old oil causes difficult shifting and gear wear. Use correct grade 75W-80 or 75W-90. X70, X62	72,000 miles or 6 years	£120–£180 Dealer: £180–£250

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
Brake fluid Replace every 2 years regardless of mileage. Brake fluid absorbs moisture which reduces effectiveness and causes internal corrosion. Use DOT 4 specification fluid. X70, X62	2 years	£60–£90 Dealer: £90–£130
Coolant flush Replace every 60,000 miles or 5 years. Use correct antifreeze specification. Old coolant causes corrosion and overheating. Flush entire system including heater matrix. X70, X62	60,000 miles or 5 years	£80–£120 Dealer: £120–£180
