2 RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS Please see service notes section TDQ 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. 2ZZ & 1ZZ Powertrain Vehicles Factory fill on the 2ZZ and 1ZZ powertrain Elise and 4-cylinder Exige range was Texaco Havoline Synthetic 5W/40 (also known as Texaco Havoline Ultra 5W/40), which is a top quality semi-synthetic oil meeting the API SL standard. If it is necessary to top up the oil on these vehicles during the running-in period, this product should be used if possible, or one with the same specification. Note that a semi-synthetic oil is preferred over a fully synthetic oil for initial fill to aid the bedding in process of the engine. At the First After Sales Service and completion of the running-in period, and for all servicing thereafter, a fully synthetic 5W/40 oil such as Texaco Havoline Fully Synthetic should be used. Note: Use only oils confirmed as being 'fully synthetic'. 1ZR & 2ZR Powertrain Vehicles Throughout the life of the vehicle (including topping up during the running-in period if required) a fully synthetic 5W/30 or 5W/40 oil should be used. The approved engine oil for 1ZR & 2ZR powertrain vehicles is Petronas Syntium Racer 1 5w40 which is suitable for all climatic conditions and engine speeds likely to be encountered*. Note: No oil additives have been recommended by Lotus. Engine Oil change interval Transmission Oil change interval Brake & Clutch System Fluid change interval Engine Coolant Additive Coolant change interval Refer to Maintenance Schedule Refer to Maintenance Schedule 24 months 4 years Supercharger Charge Cooler Coolant Additive (If applicable) Coolant change interval 4 years * If the vehicle is to be driven hard in very high ambient temperatures, or used on a race track, the recommended fully synthetic engine oil is 'PETRONAS Syntium 7000' 0W/40. '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.

Date of last service:... EPLANATORY 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 ( ) 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 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 (especially 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) - Competition, timed track use or repeated launch control or driver instigated standing starts (5) 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. Thorough safety check including wheels, tyres, suspension, steering and brake systems. 5. The Lotus Elise/Exige 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. However, 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. 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. 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. Updated 3 rd March 2017 Page 3

15 Licence Plate Fitment - Except North America Front The mounting plinth for the front licence plate is moulded into the front clamshell, and is slightly curved in plan. Typically, double sided tape in conjunction with two fixing screws are used to secure the plate which should not project above the top edge of the plinth by more than 40mm, or cooling performance will be inhibited. Conversely, too low a position may result in damage from grounding on ramps and kerbs. Proprietary threaded blind fixings such as Pulserts, Rivnuts, Rawlnuts or Jacknuts may be used, or alternatively, using the limited access available from beneath the nose of the clamshell, any non-captive fixing may be used. Licence Plate Fitment on North American Elise LSL480 Front The Elise front clamshell incorporates a moulded plinth for the front licence plate. A licence plate mounting frame is supplied loose with the car for those States which require front plates. The aluminium frame has four M6 threaded studs, and should be fitted to the clamshell plinth by marking and drilling the four 6mm clearance holes symmetrically about the vertical and horizontal centrelines of the plinth. A template is attached for your convenience. Fit the frame with the longer legs uppermost, and remove the air intake grille to allow access to secure the frame with flat washers and M6 Nyloc nuts. Do not overtighten. Refit the grille and fit the licence plate to the mounting frame. Top edge of plinth Mark hole centres and drill to 6mm Centre line Bottom edge of plinth Rear The rear licence plate plinth is provided with two sets of four M6 threaded inserts positioned in different configurations to suit various State requirements. Rear Licence Plate Fitment on Japanese Elise LSL598 4 holes should be drilled in the licence plate mounting area in the rear clamshell to accomodate the rear licence plate carrier, see illustration on next page for additional information.
