Except that you can't go wrong with 3,000 miles/three months!
I Never do the Three months! I always stick to 3,000 miles (sometimes
4,000 if it's raining the weekend I hit 3,000!)
Of course, now I am not driving like I used to. I'd go 100 miles on a
Sunday, just for fun! With the price of gas now, and the value of
vehicles, I drive less now.
