Selecting The Right Schedule - Chevrolet 2007 Optra Owner's Manual

Selecting the Right Schedule

First you will need to decide which of the
two schedules is right for your vehicle. Here
is how to decide which schedule to follow:
Short Trip/City Definition
Follow the Short Trip/City Scheduled Maintenance
if any one of these conditions is true for your
vehicle:
•
Most trips are less than 5 miles (8 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.
•
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 down sooner.
