Should I follow the dealership maintenance schedule or the severe service schedule?
Most Miami drivers should follow the severe service maintenance schedule rather than the normal one, because Miami conditions match nearly every definition of severe driving. Your owner's manual lists two schedules, and the severe schedule applies if you drive in extreme heat, stop-and-go traffic, short trips, or dusty conditions, all of which describe daily life here. The severe schedule calls for more frequent oil changes, fluid services, and inspections, which protects your engine and transmission from the faster wear these conditions cause. Following the lighter normal schedule in a severe environment leaves your car under-maintained and shortens its life. Many drivers do not realize their owner's manual even has a severe schedule, so they unknowingly underservice. Motoro Cars reviews how and where you actually drive, then sets the right interval for your specific vehicle across 40+ brands.
