days not counted by the FSS can be added by your

The interval between services is determined by the type
of driving for which the vehicle is used. For example,
driving at extreme speeds, and cold starts combined
wit h short distan ce d r iving in which the e ngin e d oes not
reach operating normal temperature, reduce the interval
between services.
