Thread: Doing service intervals based on time, not mileage...

As I'm retired and don't travel significant distances (or haven't for the last 3 years +)
I find I've twice now bumped up against the service interval based on the recommended time, without having achieved the mileage called for.

I did the 60k service at about 54k miles (the 4 year point) and the 67.5k service at 57k miles (the 54 month point). And unless I take a nice loooong trip, I'll be doing more of the same, until the basic and extended warranties run out.

I don't KNOW if Hyundai would get all squinty-eyed about absorbing the cost of any warrantable repairs if I DIDN'T do the services in a "time"ly manner, but I'd rather not find out the hard way. Never had the issue come up before as I tended to put 15-18k miles/year on a car in past decades...

Well generally part do get old and do wear and what not, there is no harm in maintenance it just helps the car over all
