recommendations with your manufacturer, you will probably find that they have listed those
intervals for "SEVERE" usage and not "NORMAL." Maybe it is just a play on words. Just
remember that it is your money (that you are driving around every day) and possibly even
your life (kept safe by tires and brakes . . . ) so remember the general rule, maintenance is
cheaper than repair. Don't be afraid of not being "Normal." Go ahead and admit that your
driving is "Severe" and maintain your vehicle to match.
