Parts for your 2018 Suzuki Splash

2018 Suzuki Splash: easy-going city hatch with simple upkeep

The 2018 Suzuki Splash is a tidy little runabout that nails the daily commute, school runs, and quick dashes to the shops. It’s compact enough to squeeze into tight CBD parks, yet tall enough inside for comfortable headroom and decent visibility. Five doors, split-fold rear seats, and a no-fuss dash make it a friendly, practical choice for Aussie and Kiwi roads.

For owners chasing straightforward care, the Splash is a breeze. Whether it’s a fresh cabin filter, new wiper blades, or a set of brake pads, quality replacement parts slot in without drama. Under-bonnet access is tidy, and the light kerb weight helps keep wear and tear down, so ongoing costs stay pleasantly modest.

The perky 1.2-litre petrol is frugal around town and relaxed on the open road. Pair that with light steering and a small turning circle, and it’s a city specialist that doesn’t mind a weekend cruise. Keep the basics up to date and it’ll return the favour with reliable, economical motoring.

• Engine oil and filter: every 10,000–15,000 km or 12 months.
• Air filter: inspect at 20,000–30,000 km, replace if dirty.
• Cabin filter: refresh annually for clean airflow.
• Spark plugs: around 60,000 km (check plug type and service book).
• Brake fluid and coolant: typically every 2 years.
• Tyre rotation and balance: about every 10,000 km, watch alignment.
• Brake pads/discs: inspect regularly, replace before they squeal or score.
• Timing chain: no belt to change, keep oil changes on schedule.
• Wipers and washers: replace blades when streaking starts.

What engine oil does a 2018 Suzuki Splash use, and how much?

Most 2018 Splash 1.2 petrol models run a quality 5W-30 meeting the manufacturer’s spec. Capacity is roughly 3.0–3.2 litres with a new filter. Always confirm the exact grade and fill from the handbook or the under-bonnet label for your market.

Does the 2018 Splash use a timing belt or a chain?

Most locally delivered 2018 Splash models with the 1.2-litre petrol use a timing chain. There’s no routine belt change interval, but clean, timely oil services are crucial to keep the chain and tensioner happy over the long haul.

What tyre size and pressures suit the 2018 Splash?

Common sizes include 165/70 R14 or 185/60 R15 depending on trim. Typical pressures sit around 32–35 psi for everyday driving, but always follow the tyre placard on the driver’s door jamb for the exact load and speed conditions you run.
