Maintenance Schedule The maintenance schedule assumes you will use your vehicle as normal transportation for passengers and their possessions. You should also follow these recommendations: Avoid exceeding your vehicle's load limit. This puts excess stress on the engine, brakes, and many other vehicle parts. The load limit is shown on the tire information label on the driver's doorjamb. Operate your vehicle on reasonable roads within the legal speed limit. Drive your vehicle regularly over a distance of several miles (kilometers). Always use unleaded gasoline with the proper octane rating (see page 130 ).
