Default Service Interval

Hi,

I drive my my car daily (around 15 miles a day). and was thinking of servicing every 9 months instead of 6 months. Any feedback?

Are you still under warranty? I would just follow what the manual says. They made the car so they know what's best.

I will make a small confession to you but please keep it confidential - I don't want to get in trouble with some people here ....
I don't give a hoot about 6 or 12 month stuff, I just go by the miles to change oil/check brakes, etc.. I don't do any servicing (besides looking for leaks, checking fluid levels, etc) between oil changes.
My tires can't be rotated.

I see your are in Singapore, I heard car ownership in Singapore is very, very expensive.

Thanks for your feedback. Yes. Cars in Singapore are almost 8 times more expensive that what you have in the US.

I currently do around 5000 miles a year. Was thinking maintenance every 6th monthly is not too helpful (6 monthly would mean, I service every 2500 miles)
