Well, @asemaster you are right about this… I guess I’ve gotten complacent with the vehicle paperwork. I usually take care of any maintenance on the vehicles ('84 Harley, '85 Toyota, '01 Ram 2500, '19 Toyota, and the '20 Honda) and with all these vehicles to choose from and we are driving less than 15,000, on average a year, between all the vehicles, each vehicle getting less than 4,000 miles a year. The '85, '19, and the '20 have lifetime oil and state inspections, and only the Harley and the Ram are my main concern. But the Ram gets so little use, last year (2022) I did not need to add an ounce of fuel and that one tank of diesel lasted the whole year. All vehicles are garage kept and the garage is attached to the house and well insulated, and there is a family room over the garage, so there is very little temperature variation…
But as I wrote, I have become complacent with the paper work and really only looked over the billing part, not the attached Inspection sheet (since they never find anything to mentioned). But after I read your posting, I went back to the receipts (I keep everything… and a log book of every ounce of gas, oil, air, etc… that goes into them…) and I looked at the Inspection Sheet and it shows the level of inspection you said is appropriate, and note that the 2020 Honda had gotten barely 9,000 miles on it in the 3-years we’ve had it…
Thanks for the “Wake Up Call…”
