What to pay attention to
Manufacturer intervals are usually set by distance or time, whichever comes first, and shorter intervals can apply for stop-start city driving, dusty roads or towing.
Why an inspection may still be needed
Extended oil and fluid life depends on driving conditions, so a vehicle used mostly for short trips can need attention sooner than the standard interval suggests.
A sensible next step
Use your logbook or owner’s manual as the starting point, and mention your typical driving conditions when booking so the interval can be reviewed.
