Scheduled Maintenance

7-5

Short Trip/City Definition

Follow the Short Trip/City Scheduled Maintenance if
any one of these conditions is true for your vehicle:
D Most trips are less than 5 to 10 miles (8 to 16 km).

This is particularly important when outside
temperatures are below freezing.

D Most trips include extensive idling (such as frequent

driving in stop

-

and

-

go traffic).

D Most trips are through dusty areas.
D You frequently tow a trailer or use a carrier on top of

your vehicle.

D If the vehicle is used for delivery service, police, taxi

or other commercial application.

One of the reasons you should follow this schedule
if you operate your vehicle under any of these
conditions is that these conditions cause engine oil to
break down sooner.
