Conventional ICE cars usually need an engine oil and filter change every 30,000 km or once every 2 years. For iV cars, such as the ENYAQ iV, there are no such filters or oil to change.
Things your next iV car won’t need
CHANGE OF OIL IN THE FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE CLUTCH
Each car axle of an iV car works with a separate electric engine. This means there is no need for an inter-axle clutch, which in conventional cars usually needs an oil change every 2 years.

DUAL-CLUTCH GEARBOX OIL CHANGE
In conventional cars, this procedure is usually needed every 60,000 km or 120,000 km. In iV cars, there is no need to change the oil since the electric motor doesn’t require gearbox and delivers maximum torque from zero speed.

CHANGE OF BELT FOR CAMSHAFT DRIVE AND TENSIONING PULLEY
In diesel engine cars like the KODIAQ, the timing belt needs to be replaced after 210,000 km. However, this change becomes irrelevant in iV cars as they have no such part.

POLY-V-BELT CHANGE
In diesel cars, this item usually needs to be replaced after 210,000 km. In iV cars, such replacement is unnecessary because there is no V-Belt in the first place.

FUEL FILTER CHANGE
As electric cars have no fuel to speak of, there is no need for the costly and regular fuel filter change needed by diesel cars.
