Aren't we all?
Autochondriac - one who tends to worry endlessly, extremely about his/her car.
I wonder sometimes if my maintenance intervals are exceedingly short. I don't worry needlessly, per say, but I do change things often. Maybe too often. Spark plugs for instance. Word on the Googles is that an iridium plug should last at least 60k mile or even 100k! Which means at 77k I should've changed my plugs to iridium once and almost never again. I don't have the stomach to leave plugs in for 100k. That just sounds insane to the autochondriac, no? I've changed them 3 times since i got the car and I'm contemplating my next change this summer (with Whoosh coils). I'm also considering changing my brake fluid every single year whether i have any symptoms or not.
I mean, there's a fine line bn preventative maintenance and just wasting time & money. I've been progressively increasing some of my intervals cuz it's starting to feel like i'm flirting with that line. What intervals are you guys using for most of you stuff?
