VTM Discrepancy pg 275/275

[Fireforge]

Hi all,

I was just recently getting my things together to record when my services have been performed, and I noticed an interesting discrepancy. On page 274 of the manual, it says to replace the VTM fluid at 15k, 45k, 75k, and 105k.

However, on page 275, (the same normal conditions, except sorted by distance), it says to replace at 15k, 30k, 60k, 90k, and 120k.

Did anyone else notice this?

Not until you pointed it out, and I compared the two pages.

Maybe it's time for someone to scan in the 2005 Owners Manual (to go along with the already scanned in 2003 and 2004 ones)...

No way, Jose! Why should moderators get all the fun?

Nah, what we need is a motivated individual to step up to the plate (preferably one that already owns the 2005 manual) for this job...

I wonder is ANYONE here realizes that these mileage and time intervals for fluid changes are based on lots of assumptions and averages. There is NOTHING magic about the numbers.

If anything this is a simple editing error.
