Anwar,

Hello, This is Brian Carotenuto. The car should be serviced every 3 months or 3000 miles, whichever comes first, or every 6 months or 6,000 miles. (The logbook has two different service schedules depending on the criteria. The logbook has all the maintenance intervals spelled out for you and what the dealer does at each interval.

This is the criteria for the service schedules-

Schedule B-

If you operate your car under one or more of the following conditions:

Day or night temperatures below 0 C (32 F)

Stop and Go Driving

Extensive Engine Idling

Driving in dusty conditions

Short trips of less than 6 km (10 miles)

More than 50% of your driving is at sustained high speeds during hot weather. Above 32 C (90 F)

Trailer towing

Taxi, Police, or Delivery service (Commercial Service)

Off Road or desert operation

If equipped for, and operating with E-85 (Ethanol) fuel.


Schedule A-

Use schedule A if your vehicle is not operated under any of the conditions that are listed under Schedule B.

(This text was taken directly from the front cover of the service logbook.)

I hope this helps!

Sincerely yours,

Brian T. Carotenuto

Yes the two schedules are recommended in the owners handbook, but the schedule B is where 99% of the people are going to fall, tell me that isn't by design.
