There are actually two types of service schedules. The first is the regular schedule and the second is the severe service schedule. Service intervals are shorter on the severe service schedule. When asked, most folks in Concord CA will say that their driving is normal and that the 'regular' schedule probably applies to them. 'Severe service' sounds pretty extreme – 'I don't drive like that'.
Well, here is what the manufacturers say constitutes severe driving conditions; you can draw your own conclusions.
* Most of your trips are less than four miles.
* Most of your trips are less than ten miles and outside temperatures are below freezing.
* The engine is at low speed most of the time – not on the highway. You operate your vehicle in dusty areas.
* You regularly tow a trailer or carry heavy loads.
* Drive with a car-top carrier.
* Stop and go driving.
* Driving in very hot or very cold weather.
Is your driving severe? Watch the following video and make an honest evaluation of your driving conditions.
