It is expected that the maintenance for a 4X4 SUV is higher but I think the price here are pretty reasonable. Many of the out of warranty Rexton are servicing there too, which shows that their price and services aren't too bad. One of Rexton owner did shared that outside workshop maybe cheaper but lacking of equipments and experience, so major servicing is still better done at the service center.

Here is a copy of the recommended Service Schedule from Owner Manual.







Please take note of the following

(1) If vehicle is operated under severe condition : short distance driving, extensive idling or driving in dusty condition.
Change engine oil and the filter every 5,000km or 6 months, whichever comes first.

(2) More frequent maintenance is required if under dusty driving condition.

(3) Refer to “Recommended fluids and lubricants�.

(4) More frequent maintenance is required if under severe condition : short distance driving, extensive idling, frequent low-speed operation in stop-and-go traffic or driving in dusty condition.

(5) Change automatic transmission fluid and filter every 60,000km if the vehicle is mainly driven under severe conditions.
- In heavy city traffic where the outside temperature regularly reaches 32oC (90oF) or higher, or
- In hilly or moutainous terrain, or
- When doing frequent trailer towing, or
- Uses such as found in taxi, police or delivery service.

(6) After completion of off-road operation, the underbody of the vehicle should be throughly inspected. Examine threaded fasteners for looseness.

(7) If necessary, rotate and balance wheels.

(8) Inspect propeller shaft grease every 5,000km or 3 months if the vehicle is mainly driven under severe condition.
- In off-road or dusty road, or
- In heavy city traffic where the outside temperature regularly reaches 32oC (90oF) or higher, or
- In hilly or moutainous terrain.

All Bros,

Let me share some information about different models of Rexton, which for me shed a good light on the
2 budget models of Rexton and the different specs --> http://www.autotrade...t...Eatc.car.pv
Please be aware, that even an Enduro or Club Sport can come with leather seats, at least I have seen some around.

I found that quite helpful and hope the info helps.
