From the 1st of July 2024, JAC Motors South Africa has extended the service intervals of the T9 and T8 line-ups, featuring 2.0L turbo-diesel engines. This extension aims to enhance customer convenience and elevate the overall ownership experience.
The T9 2.0L CTi's service intervals will now extend from 10 000 km/12 months to 20 000 km/12 months, with the initial service still due at 10 000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first.
Similarly, for the T8 2.0L CTi, the intervals will extend from 10 000 km/12 months to 15 000 km/12 months, with the initial service also due at 10 000 km or 12 months, whichever is sooner.
