What's Your Driving "Style"?

Understanding your driving style is an important step to maintaining your vehicle.

This quick and simple quiz can help.
  1 Do you regularly make short trips with your vehicle, defined as those of a distance of ten miles or less?  
  2 Do you regularly drive in "stop & go" traffic, described as in-town driving?  
  3 Are you and your vehicle residing in a seasonal climate, with average annual temperatures fluctuating from 10 - 90 degrees Fahrenheit?  
  4 Do you ever use your vehicle to haul heavy loads or pull trailers, for recreation or for business?  
  5 Do you ever forcefully accelerate, for quick "jack rabbit" starts or to pass slower vehicles?  
     

For each time you answered "Yes", give yourself 20 points.

If your score was 60 points or greater, your driving style is defined as abrasive.
Your owner's manual will likely recommend scheduled maintenance at shorter intervals.
Under these driving conditions, it is generally recommended
that the oil in your vehicle be changed every 3,000 miles.

If your score was 40 points or lower, your driving style is defined as ideal.
For "ideal" driving conditions, you should follow the manufacturer's
recommended scheduled maintenance, as described in your owner's manual.
