Can anyone tell me the servicing intervals for a 2.4 litre petrol 2006 Alphard.  I expect to do more than the usual mileage for a campervan.  

Probably 12k a year?

 

Thanks Graham

Hi Graham,

 

I would personally go for 6-7k oil change intervals, so in your case twice a year. Use some good engine oil and replace it often. 

 

You can actually find a sticker, under a bonnet in Japanese and use Google translate to translate photo to English.

 

Cheers

Thanks, at last I have an answer!  The salesperson was a little vague on this.

I have just had my first service at my local garage.  We have been with them for several decades and I was interested to hear their

opinion on our campervan conversion.  I was pleasantly surprised to get the positive reactions I did.  

 

The headlamp discolouring is being dealt with with advice from yourselves on this forum and also local advice.

 

I am now aware why the service (oil change in particular} 6k-7k intervals is  important.

 

Quote "the sump is small for the engine size Graham, only 4 litres of oil.  Change it and the filter every 6k or so" unquote.

 

Thanks for your help here everyone.

 

Kind regards Graham
