Engine oil and filter

Use the stated oil grade and API certification. Replace the drain washer and filter, torque the drain bolt to 39 Nm, and confirm the final dipstick level and absence of leaks. A low oil-pressure warning that remains on after starting requires immediate engine shutdown.

Inspect both brake axles, parking-brake adjustment, steering joints/boots, suspension, driveshaft boots, brake hoses/lines, all fluid levels/condition, exhaust and fuel lines/connections. Repair findings require the matching service procedure.
