Questions people ask
When is the first service of a new Ertiga?
The first free inspection is at 1,000 km or 1 month, whichever comes first; the second at 5,000 km or 6 months. The first periodic service, with the first oil change, is at 10,000 km or 12 months.
Are the Ertiga's services free?
The two inspections at 1,000 and 5,000 km are free — materials and consumables are charged. From 10,000 km, periodic maintenance is at cost.
Which engine oil does the Ertiga use?
The 1.5 K15C petrol engine takes SAE 0W-16 (API SN/SP or ILSAC GF-6), about 3.3 litres with the filter. Maruti says 0W-16 is the best choice for fuel economy — don't switch to a thicker oil.
How often should the Ertiga's oil be changed?
Every 10,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, along with the oil filter.
Does the Ertiga CNG need anything extra?
Its spark plugs are replaced every 50,000 km or 48 months (petrol: 1,00,000 km or 84 months). The CNG kit needs servicing and the cylinder a periodic hydro-test — MotorBabu's CNG schedule below covers both.
