Editing Servicing (section)

==Toyota==

Toyota engined Elises share the 9,000 mile/12 month service intervals of the K-series cars, but does not follow the same pattern of work.

The majority of the servicing remains the same each year, with transmission oil check every 3rd service and replaced every 6th service, air filter replaced every 3rd service, and spark plugs replaced every 6th service.

For supercharged cars (Elise SC, Exige S) the supercharger belt is replaced every other service.
