I won't hit 5000 miles until probably next January or February, maybe. Is it still safe to go by mileage or should I start looking at time intervals?

Default Time.....

I wouldnt go past the time frame. Granted if you your at like 2000 miles by the time mark, then you will be forced to give your car to me since you dont drive it enough. Or we can send it off to wes, he is good at puting milage on cars, im sure he will not mind. :-)

5000 miles or every 3 months is what I'd recommend.

Default if your dealers decent they will tell you time, that way all of your free maint is done before ..

the warranty. the brake fluid should be replaced every two years, etc. so bring your car in every six months for a self paid oil change and atleast once a year for your scheduled maintanence.
