Schedule
Short Trip/City Definition
Follow the Short Trip/City Maintenance Schedule if any
one
of
these conditions
is
true for your vehicle:
Most trips are less than
5
to
10
miles
(8
to
16
km).
This is particularly important when outside
temperatures are below freezing.
Most trips include extensive idling (such as frequent
driving in stop-and-go traffic).
You frequently tow a trailer
or
use a carrier on top
of
your vehicle.
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
breuk
