See CAUTIONS & WARNINGS in MAINTENANCE INFORMATION article in this section. Introduction The frequency of scheduled inspection and maintenance services in this article are based on "normal" vehicle usage. They DO NOT take into account the following "severe" conditions: * Driving In Dusty Conditions * Trailer Towing, Police, Taxi, commercial Type Operation * Extensive Idling, Driving In Stop-And-Go Traffic * Short Trip Operation At Freezing Temperatures (Engine Not Thoroughly Warmed Up) * Driving In Sandy Areas * Driving In Salty Areas * More Than 50% Operation In Heavy City Traffic Or At Sustained High Speeds During Hot Weather Above 90 F (32 C) * Driving On Off-Road If any of these severe conditions exist, the "normal" service schedule frequency for some service items is inadequate and must be supplemented. See the following section for specific details, SEVERE SERVICE CONDITIONS/ACTIONS. SEVERE SERVICE CONDITIONS/ACTIONS The following table identifies eight "severe" conditions that cause faster-than-normal wear. Each condition lists affected service item(s) and their revised (more frequent) service interval. If any severe condition(s) is applicable, its revised service interval(s) supersede those found in the "normal" schedules. Depending on the specific mileage/time, the revised interval(s) may overlap a normal schedule (in which case they can be done together). If not, it must be performed outside of the normal schedule.
