From Maruti Suzuki's current owner's manuals: the free inspections cover labour — materials and consumables are charged — and periodic maintenance from 10,000 km is at cost. Your service booklet has the exact terms for your car.
Engine oil
- Grade: SAE 0W-16, API SN/SP or ILSAC GF-6 on the current Z12E petrol engine. Older Swifts differ — use the grade in your manual.
- Quantity: about 3.1 litres including the filter (Z12E).
- When: every 10,000 km or 12 months; earlier for heavy city use.

Questions people ask
When is the first service of a new Swift?
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 full periodic service, with the first oil change, is at 10,000 km or 12 months.
Are the Swift's services free?
Maruti Suzuki's owner's manuals list two free inspections (1,000 and 5,000 km) — labour is free, materials and consumables are charged. From 10,000 km, periodic maintenance is at cost. Dealers sometimes run offers, so check your service booklet.
How often should a Swift be serviced after the free services?
Every 10,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first.
Which engine oil does the Swift use?
The current Swift's Z12E petrol engine takes SAE 0W-16 (API SN/SP or ILSAC GF-6), about 3.1 litres with the filter. Older Swift engines used different grades — use exactly the one in your owner's manual, and don't switch to a thicker oil.
Does a Swift CNG need more frequent servicing?
CNG engines run hotter and are harder on oil and spark plugs. MotorBabu's default for CNG cars is an oil change every 7,500 km, a CNG kit service every 20,000 km or a year, and a cylinder hydro-test every 3 years.
