Bought the car a few weeks ago and I'm a bit torn on which maintenance schedule to follow. It is my wife's daily driver and her commute is only 3 miles each way, but it's in heavy bumper to bumper traffic pretty much the whole way (so constant breaking, low speeds). Usually takes her about 20-30 minutes each way, and the rest of the day the car sits in a parking garage. On the weekends we use it for errands and the occasional road trip. We live in Los Angeles.
Which maintenance schedule would you follow, schedule 1 at 7500 mile intervals for "normal" use, or schedule 2 at 5000 mile intervals? I'm leaning towards schedule 2 because we plan on keeping this car a long time and I want to take good care of it, but I'm worried it might be overkill and a waste of $$.
