The following maintenance intervals are based on the assumption that the vehicle owner will be doing the maintenance or service work, as opposed to having a dealer service department do the work. Although the time/mileage intervals are loosely based on factory recommendations, most have been shortened to ensure, for example, that such items as filters, lubricants and fluids are checked/changed at intervals that promote maximum engine/driveline service life. Also, subject to the preference of the individual owner interested in keeping his or her old vehicle in peak conditions at all times, and with the vehicles ultimate resale in mind, many of the maintenance procedures may be performed more often than recommended in the following schedule. Such owner initiative is encouraged.
