How this site is built

Where the numbers come from

Every interval on this site traces to a document, carries a review date, and can be challenged by any reader. This page explains each of those promises.

Sourcing

Intervals come from the maintenance schedules manufacturers publish for each model year: owner's manuals, warranty and maintenance guides, and scheduled maintenance booklets. Recall data comes from the federal NHTSA database. Cost figures are broad national ranges for independent shops, stated as ranges because that is what they are.

We re-express everything in our own structure and words. Where a manufacturer's claim deserves context, such as a fluid marketed as lifetime, we say so plainly and label the difference between the factory position and common shop practice.

The review date

Every vehicle page shows the date its data was last reviewed and the sources consulted. Pages awaiting final verification against the printed manual say so on the page and are excluded from search indexing until a person has signed off on every figure.

Data older than eighteen months without re-review gets flagged internally and eventually removed from search rather than left to rot. A stale answer presented confidently is worse than no answer.

What we do not do

We do not copy tables or wording from any manual, we do not scrape licensed professional databases, and we do not publish a vehicle page unless it has real, vehicle-specific content behind it. We are not affiliated with any manufacturer, and vehicle names appear here only to identify the vehicles themselves.

Some parts links earn this site a commission. Those links are marked, the relationship is disclosed above every set of them, and they point at retailer search results rather than specific parts we cannot verify fit your exact vehicle.

Corrections

Wrong maintenance data can cost someone an engine, so corrections outrank everything else we work on. Every vehicle page carries a report link that reaches a monitored inbox, and confirmed errors get fixed and re-reviewed ahead of any other work.

The final word on any interval is the manual in your glovebox. This site exists to make that information legible and comparable, not to replace it.
