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).
Most trips are through dusty areas.
You frequently tow a trailer or use a carrier on top of
your vehicle. (With some models, you should never
tow a trailer. See “Towing a Trailer” in the Index.)
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
