2 FLUID CHANGE INTERVALS Please see service notes section TDA for information on fluid capacities, standards and approved products. Engine In order to ensure the longevity and reliability of the vehicle, it is most important that only the specified lubricants are used. It is an entirely false economy to try to save money by using lower quality oils, which may break down before the next change interval and provide inadequate protection before the end of the term. High oil consumption may also result. Throughout the life of the vehicle (including topping up during the running-in period if required) a fully synthetic 0W/40 oil should be used. A top quality fully synthetic 0W/40 oil, such as Petronas Syntium W/40 Fully synthetic' is suitable for all climatic conditions and engine speeds likely to be encountered*. Note that no oil additives are approved by Lotus. Engine Oil change interval Refer to Maintenance Schedule Transmission - Manual Non Supercharged (gearbox & final drive) Oil change interval Refer to Maintenance Schedule Transmission - Manual Supercharged (gearbox & final drive) Oil change interval Refer to Maintenance Schedule Transmission - IPS (gearbox, torque converter & oil lines) Oil change interval Refer to Maintenance Schedule Brake & Clutch System Fluid change interval Power Steering System (PAS) Fluid change interval: Engine Coolant Additive Coolant change interval 24 months Not routine 4 years 'Severe Service Conditions Certain operating conditions can cause rapid degradation of the oil quality, either by the accumulation of dirt particles, or by the absorption of water from condensation. If any of the severe service conditions described below apply, it is recommended that the oil and filter be changed twice as frequently as is listed in the Maintenance Schedule. Driving in dusty areas (e.g. on unmetalled roads); Change the oil and filter as soon as possible after driving in a dust storm. Stop/start driving with frequent short trips where the engine rarely warms up thoroughly (especially in cold weather/climates); and/or frequent or prolonged idling. Track use, with repeated high rpm, wide throttle openings and high oil temperatures. In these circumstances, individual judgement must be made regarding appropriate servicing. Note that use of the car off road or in a competitive manner, including timed runs or laps, will invalidate warranty and require appropriate levels of expert car preparation and servicing. Page 2

3 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE - EVORA (Refer to the latest version of lsl661 for the Evora GT430 model range) LSL537h Job no.:... Owner's name: Vehicle: Vehicle registration no.: V.I.N.: Recorded mileage: Mileage/Km at last service.: Today's date:..... Date of last service:... EXPLANATORY NOTES: Required Maintenance In order to maintain warranty validation and help ensure proper safety, emissions performance and dependability of the vehicle, Lotus Cars Ltd. requires that the vehicle be serviced in accordance with this schedule. Each service should be performed within 9,000 miles (15,000 km) or 12 months of the previous service, whichever first occurs. Any necessary repairs should be completed without delay. A cross ( X ) in the following table indicates an operation to be performed. The corresponding box should be ticked when the operation has been satisfactorily performed or the X circled if extra work and time is required. The approval of the customer should be obtained before any extra work is undertaken, details of which should be recorded in the space provided at the end of the schedule. Inspect means assess condition and test for correct operation. Extra time is required to adjust or repair - advise customer beforehand if necessary. Check means test and adjust/fill or tighten as necessary, labour time is included. Special Operating Conditions If the car is subjected to one of the following 'special operating conditions', additional servicing is required (see additional servicing notes below): - Regular use on unpaved or dusty roads (1,2) - Use in mountainous areas with severe or prolonged brake usage (3) - Frequent short trips with cold engine (esp. in cold weather/climates); and/or frequent or prolonged idling (1) - Occasional circuit use, with repeated high rpm, wide throttle openings and high oil temperatures (1,3,4,4b & 5) - Competition, track use or driver instigated standing starts (6) Additional servicing: 1. Oil & filter 4,500 m (7,500 km) intervals. 2. Inspect air 9,000 m (15,000 km) intervals, or as required. 3. Inspect brake pads & 1,000m (1,500 km) intervals, or as required. 4. Transmission oil 4,500 m (7,500 km) 6 month intervals. 4b. Manual transmission oil cooler in-line filter (if 4,500 m (7,500 km) 6 month intervals. 5. Thorough safety check including wheels, tyres, suspension, steering and brake systems. 6. The Lotus Evora is designed as a road going sports car. It is recognised that owners may wish to use the car occasionally on closed circuit tracks to experience the car's full range of dynamic capabilities. But the use of the car in a competitive manner, including timed runs or laps, is not endorsed by Lotus. This type of timed, competitive use will invalidate warranty and require appropriate levels of expert vehicle preparation and servicing over and above that specified in the Maintenance Schedule. After Sales Service To be performed by the selling dealer within 1,000-1,500 miles (1,500-2,500 km) or 12 months of vehicle sale, whichever first occurs. Dependant upon the market, if carried out by the selling dealer, there is no charge to the vehicle owner for the labour content of the After Sales Service. Only for materials used will a charge be made. Check with your dealer to confirm if your vehicle is valid for this offer. To maintain warranty validation, an Engine History and Performance Report print out via the Lotus TechCentre must be submitted to the Warranty Department. Recommended Fluids & Lubricants Lotus recommends the use of PETRONAS products for many of its vehicle models. Please refer to the relevant Vehicle Data sections of the workshop service notes for a full list of capacities, standards and approved products. Page 3
