Maintaining your vehicle
Quite often, people drive under unusual circumstances, and therefore, need to maintain their vehicle more frequently, such as fleet vehicles or vehicles that often go off-road. This requires a different interval of scheduled maintenance services known as a severe maintenance schedule. The image below depicts the same interval for the above mentioned vehicle (a 1995 Ford F-150) under a severe pattern (note the absence of tire rotation, which would have been performed at an earlier interval than under a normal schedule).

Maintaining your vehicle is most likely the most important way to avoid and prevent costly repairs. Most everyone is well aware of the standard oil change every 3,000-4,000 miles, however, there are other key elements that help the average consumer, the automotive enthusiast, the at-home mechanic, and the automotive professional to stay on top of their preventative maintenance. Finding required maintenance specific to your vehicle can be a difficult task. Every vehicle reacts differently to driving conditions, and therefore, every vehicle has slightly different requirements when it comes to standard and severe scheduled maintenance. For example, the image below, displays the schedule maintenance needed on a 1995 Ford F-150 on a a normal scheduled maintenance interval.
