fluid change intervals Please see service notes section TDV 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 5W/30 or 5W/40 oil should be used. A top quality fully synthetic 5W/40 oil, such as ‘Petronas Syntium Racer X1 5w40’ 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 Supercharged (gearbox & final drive) Oil change interval Refer to Maintenance Schedule Brake & Clutch System Fluid change interval 24 months Engine Coolant Additive 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.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE - ELISE/EXIGE (NON USA)
LSL501e
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) - Competition, timed track use or repeated use of Lotus Launch Control or driver instigated standing starts (5) Additional servicing: 1.Oil & filter change @ 4,500 m (7,500 km) intervals. 2.Inspect air cleaner @ 9,000 m (15,000 km) intervals, or as required. 3.Inspect brake pads & discs @ 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.
