service according to milage or months
I'm curious when should I get my scheduled service done. Should I go by the
months or milage ex: 15,000 or 12 months. My elantra doesn't get much
milage as my wife only drives 12 miles a day back and forth to work. So I
never hit the milage according to the schedule. Seems crazy to take it in
for an oil change if I'm only half way to the milage. Just curious. any
imput would be welcome.

The general rule is "whichever comes first".

Same boat here my wife's Elantra is 2002 ...now 27 months with 11k miles.
The dealer says that the 'mileage' is the key to keep warrantee up but I do
the LOF every 3 months 'cause its free for life for us.
If it was 'what ever comes first' then at appx 18k miles (48 months) I would
be doing Timing belt, engine coolant, spark plugs, fuel filter and air
filter for a car barely broken in !!

While it's true of fluids, I don't think the "whichever comes first"
rule applies to "hard" parts, like timing belts, plugs, etc.
