Short Trip/City Definition
1
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 lun).
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
o f
the reasons you should follow this schedule
i f
you operate your vehicle under any of these conditions
is that these conditions cause engine oil to break
dawn sooner
