This is my first post here, I did some searching, but didn't quite find what I was looking for, so I thought I would ask it specifically.
Just bought my second CX-5 last week. My first was a 2014 (bought in '13) and had 134,000 miles on it when I traded it in. Ran great, never an issue. Maintained it at every 5k miles (oil change, filter, rotate tires) because that's what I thought was the right thing to do (and my dealership certainly supported and praised me for that decision). My new one is a 2019 CX-5 GTR. Being the good owner I am, I read through the scheduled maintenance manual and reviewed the proper service intervals. I was mostly planning on following the same routine I had been on, but I got to thinking about the difference between schedule 1 and 2 and what is considered "severe driving conditions". So I thought I would throw that question out there to the group and get your trusted opinions on what you consider "severe driving conditions" because I am pretty sure the ones in the manual could be applied to just about anyone driving a vehicle today.
