( 1) - Different interval may be required for normal and severe
service. Severe service is described as use of ethanol fuel,
frequent short trip operation of less than 5 miles, long periods
of engine idling, trailer towing, police, taxi, local delivery
service, or operating in dusty or excessively hot conditions.
( 2) - Monthly interval is not available from manufacturer.
( 3) - Inspect air filter every 15,000 miles and replace as necessary.
Replace at 30,000 miles unless previously replaced during
inspection.
( 4) - Inspect at scheduled interval and replace as necessary. Inspect
every 30,000 miles after first scheduled interval if not
previously replaced at scheduled interval listed.
( 5) - Replace coolant at 45,000 miles or 36 months whichever occurs
first. Replace coolant at 36 months regardless of mileage. After
first coolant change, replace coolant every 24 months or 30,000
miles thereafter.
( 6) - Band adjustment required on 3-speed automatic transaxle.
( 7) - Normal service interval is not available from manufacturer.
Manufacturer lists service schedule only under severe service
conditions.
