The Maxus T60 follows standard diesel pickup service intervals, but getting the right genuine parts depends on your specific model year and engine variant. Here is what you need to know before ordering T60 service parts.

Key Facts – Maxus T60 Servicing

  • The T60 uses a 2.0-litre VM Motori turbodiesel engine (also found in some Jeep and Chrysler models)
  • Service intervals are typically every 12 months or 12,000 miles – whichever comes first
  • Filters, brake pads and clutch components differ between T60 production runs – your VIN or registration confirms exact fitment
  • The T60 is a rebadged SAIC pickup – parts may be listed under both Maxus and LDV branding
  • Over 43,000 genuine SAIC Maxus parts available with UK-wide FedEx delivery

Why Your VIN Matters for T60 Parts

Many T60 owners assume that knowing the model name is enough when ordering parts. It is not. The T60 was produced across several years with running changes to ancillary components – oil filter housings, air filter box designs and brake disc sizes can vary even within the same model year.

Before we dispatch any part, we confirm fitment against your VIN or registration number. This avoids the common problem of receiving a filter or pad set that looks almost right but does not fit. You can check your T60 parts by registration to see exactly what is listed for your vehicle.

Routine T60 Service Parts

A standard T60 service covers the same ground as most turbodiesel light commercials. Here is what you will typically need:

Oil and Oil Filter

The T60’s 2.0 VM Motori engine requires a quality oil filter at every service. Using the genuine SAIC item ensures the correct bypass valve pressure and gasket seal. Pair it with the manufacturer-recommended oil grade for your engine variant.

Air Filter

The T60 air filter element sits in a sealed box on the nearside of the engine bay. A blocked air filter restricts airflow to the turbo – owners sometimes describe this as the van having no power uphill or refusing to rev past 2500 rpm, when the real culprit is a neglected air filter rather than a turbo fault.

Fuel Filter

Diesel fuel filter replacement is critical on the T60. A partially blocked fuel filter causes rough running, poor starting in cold weather and reduced power. The genuine SAIC fuel filter includes the correct water separator element – pattern alternatives sometimes omit this.

Pollen / Cabin Filter

Often overlooked on commercial vehicles. The T60 cabin filter sits behind the glovebox and is straightforward to replace. A fresh cabin filter makes a noticeable difference if you are spending long days in the cab.

Brake Components

T60 brake pads and discs differ between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive variants, and front and rear axle sizes are not interchangeable. Rear brake arrangements also vary – some T60s use drum rears, others use disc rears depending on specification. Again, your VIN determines exactly which components you need.

We stock genuine front and rear brake pads, discs and associated hardware for all T60 variants.

Clutch and Drivetrain

The T60 clutch assembly is a conventional dual-mass flywheel setup. Clutch wear depends heavily on use – a T60 used for towing will need clutch attention sooner than one used unladen. Genuine clutch kits include the friction plate, pressure plate and release bearing as a matched set.

Searching for Parts Under Both Brand Names

The T60 is manufactured by SAIC Motor, and over the years has been sold under both the LDV and Maxus badges in the UK. If you are searching online for parts, try both names – some suppliers list under LDV T60, others under Maxus T60. All genuine parts we supply are SAIC OEM components regardless of which badge sits on your tailgate.

Trade Accounts for Garages and Fleet Operators

If you are an independent garage servicing T60 pickups or a fleet operator running several, a trade account gives you access to trade pricing across our full catalogue. Many independent workshops are now seeing T60s regularly as they come out of initial dealer warranty periods.

Frequently Asked Questions

What oil does the Maxus T60 take?

The T60’s 2.0 VM Motori engine typically requires a fully synthetic low-SAPS diesel oil. Check your owner’s handbook for the exact grade – it varies by production date. We can confirm the correct oil filter for your engine once you provide your registration or VIN.

Are LDV T60 and Maxus T60 parts the same?

Yes. The LDV and Maxus T60 are the same SAIC-manufactured vehicle sold under different brand names at different times in the UK market. The genuine parts are identical – only the badge differs.

How do I know which brake pads fit my T60?

Brake pad fitment on the T60 depends on your drivetrain (2WD or 4WD) and specification level. The safest way is to look up your vehicle by VIN – this confirms the exact brake components listed for your chassis number.

Can I service my T60 myself?

The T60 is a relatively straightforward vehicle to service if you have basic mechanical experience. Oil and filter changes, air filter replacement and cabin filter swaps are all accessible without specialist tools. Fuel filter replacement requires bleeding the system afterwards. Brake work should only be carried out if you are confident and have the correct equipment.

Do you deliver T60 parts across the UK?

Yes. We deliver genuine Maxus parts UK-wide via FedEx from our base in Tibenham, Norfolk. Most orders are dispatched promptly once fitment is confirmed against your vehicle.
