concentrations of soot in the air from industry and
from diesel-powered vehicles, replace every 15,000

speeds or trailer towing results in higher

regularly drive your vehicle under these conditions,
have the transmission fluid changed at 60,000 miles
(100,000 km), then every 30,000 miles (48,000 km).
