Keep in mind that not every vehicle is the same and each is going to have its own manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule. Every driver is different too. If you’re a heavy driver — more than 12,000 miles a year — your car will need servicing more frequently. If you’re a light driver — less than 10,000 miles a year — you may be able to stretch your maintenance schedule.
