Mahindra Roxor Maintenance Interval Chart
Perform at the first milestone reached. Double frequency for dusty/muddy/towing/off-road
heavy use.
| Item | Interval (First Occurring) | Notes / Procedure |
|---|---|---|
| Engine Oil & Filter | Break-in: 10 hrs / 300 mi Normal: 50 hrs / 6 mo / 1,500 mi | Replace; use full synthetic 5W-40 (CK-4 for newer). |
| Fuel/Water Separator | 10 hrs / 300 mi (drain weekly) | Drain; replace filter at 50 hrs / 6 mo / 1,500 mi (high-quality fuel). |
| Air Filter / Cleaner | 100 hrs / 3,000 mi | Inspect/clean/replace; more often in dusty situation/conditions. |
| Grease Fittings (Suspension, Driveshafts, etc.) | 100 hrs / 12 mo / 3,000 mi | Grease all zerks; check for leaks/damage. |
| Driveshafts | 100 hrs / 12 mo / 3,000 mi | Grease U-joints. |
| Shift Linkage | 100 hrs / 12 mo / 3,000 mi | Lubricate/adjust. |
| Differentials / Transfer Case / Transmission | 100–200 hrs (check levels often) | Inspect levels; change if contaminated. |
| Brakes / Brake Fluid | 100 hrs / 12 mo / 3,000 mi | Clean/inspect; check fluid level; flush if needed. |
| Battery | 100 hrs / 12 mo / 3,000 mi | Inspect/clean terminals; test. |
| Tires / Rotation | Every other oil change or as needed | Rotate pattern; check pressure (28 psi typical). |
| Coolant / Power Steering / Other Fluids | Check levels regularly; change per severe use | Inspect for leaks; top off/replace as needed. |
Severe use (recommended for most Roxor owners): Service at half of normal intervals for oil, air filter, grease, etc.
Mahindra Roxor Maintenance Interval Chart
All models have zerk (grease) fittings for chassis/suspension components. Grease every 100 hours / 12 months / 3,000 miles—or more frequently in severe conditions (mud, water, dust, heavy loads). Use a high-quality multi-purpose grease (lithium-based or synthetic chassis grease).
Common Grease Points (applies to ALL models):
- Leaf spring pivots/front bushings — 2 per side (front; 4 total).
- Driveshafts — 1 on front of driveshaft, 1 on rear driveshaft (universal joints). 1 on
slipyoke - Rear axle hubs/near drum brakes — 1 per side (left and right rear; towards brakes).
- Total typical zerks: ~8 (varies slightly by exact setup; some owners report 6–8).
Tips: Pump 4–5 strokes per fitting (more on initial if dry). Wipe excess to avoid attracting dirt. Inspect for damaged zerks/fittings during pre-ride checks. No grease required on shift linkage (use light oil or white grease per manual for pivots).
