service interval
I did a search but couldnt find any thing.
I guess its more of a general question but...
You see, me and my dad only drive the car almost only on the weekends and its never a too long of a distance.
The car we bought in 2011 Jan, we had done the Service A done at around 5000km around start of this year.
Currently it is sitting at just over 10000kms on the clock.
Do we really need to do the service every year?? or only when the Km has reached the required amount?
I know that in the service booklet, we need to do the service every year or 15000km or which ever comes first.. but I was just wondering if thats really the case.

Some fluids deteriorate over time, even if unused, absorbing moisture, changing pH, boiling point (brake fluid) and effectiveness. If this were not the case, the recommendation would be based solely on mileage.
