I drive less than average -- about 10K miles/year. I recently moved to a new office that is even closer to my home, so I will probably put even fewer miles on the car.
The LS400 manual recommends an A service every 4 months/5K miles. That seems based on averaging 15K miles/year. I average much less than that. In 4 months, I probably put only 3K miles on the car. It would probably take me closer to 6 months to put 5K miles on it.
What's my best strategy for both the A level services and also for the more B, C, and D?
I'm thinking that I will do the B/C/D services at the mileage marks, regardless of time, and just do an extra A service in between based on time. For example: 4 mo 3700 mi A service 8 mo 7500 mi A service
12 mo 11300 mi A service (extra) 16 mo 15000 mi B serviceetc...
So that instead of two A services in between the more major services, I will have 3 most times.
Is that a good strategy?
