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 Commercial vehicle usage demands frequent oil changes. SK410	3,000 miles or 6 months	£80–£120 Dealer: £150–£200
Air filter Replace annually or at 12,000 miles. Commercial use in dusty conditions may require more frequent changes. Blocked filter reduces power and increases fuel consumption. SK410	12,000 miles or 1 year	£25–£40 Dealer: £40–£60

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 Change every 40,000 miles. Commercial use may require more frequent changes. Use correct SAE 80W-90 specification. Old oil causes gear selection problems and bearing wear. SK410	40,000 miles	£100–£150 Dealer: £150–£220

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 20,000 miles or 2 years. Commercial use may require more frequent replacement. Worn plugs cause misfiring and increased emissions. SK410	20,000 miles or 2 years	£60–£100 Dealer: £100–£150
Brake fluid Replace every 2 years regardless of mileage. Brake fluid absorbs moisture which reduces braking effectiveness and causes internal corrosion. Critical for commercial vehicle safety. SK410	2 years	£60–£90 Dealer: £90–£130
Coolant flush Replace every 4 years or 40,000 miles. Use correct antifreeze specification. Old coolant causes radiator and water pump corrosion. Check thermostat operation at same time. SK410	40,000 miles or 4 years	£80–£120 Dealer: £120–£180
