Schedule 1 / Schedule 2 Maintenance Interval - Huntsville, AL - ideas?
Schedule 1:
(more severe operating conditions), every 3750 miles or 3 months, whichever comes first.
Use schedule 1 if you primarily operate your vehicle under any of these conditions:
1) repeated short trips of less than 5 miles in normal temperatures or less than 10 miles in freezing temperatures
2) stop and go traffic in hot weather or low speed driving for long distances
3) driving in dusty conditions or on rough, muddy, or salt spread roads
4) towing a trailer, or using a camper or car-top carrier.
-----------------
Schedule 2:
(less severe operating conditions), every 7500 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first.
Schedule 2 features 7500 mile service intervals; with Schedule 2 fewer maintenance items are regulary checked or replaced than with schedule 1.
Generally, schedule 2 applies only to highway driving in temperate conditions. Use schedule 2 only if you primarily operate your vehicle under conditions other than those listed on Schedule 1.
------------------
So my question is to fellow Huntsvillians;
As a light driver that has 14mile round trip every day to/from work; it would seem ideal to get schedule 2....but what spooks me is it states that "fewer maintenance items are regulary checked or replaced than with schedule 1".
So that would push me to goto schedule 1, because more items are checked; which seems more ideal; but then again; it sort of says not required if work is within a short distance; and you don't drive in bad conditions; or you aren't a wear/tear driver.
