When to change fluids, when I do alot of highway driving.
I need some information regarding when to change fluids (oil,tranny,) as well as plugs and other maintinence. I frequently travel everday 125 km up in Canada, on country roads, with no traffic. I rarely stop on the trip, about twice and these are for stop signs. My speed is usually 90 km/h and I use cruise control most of the way. I park it in a heated garage and it is never out in the cold overnight.
The dealer tells me that the long distance service does not apply here in Canada because of the weather which is usually cold and the gas which is dirty. I think he is full of B.S. but I am not sure.
The manual says there is a long distance service schedule. Should I follow it?
I drive a 1996, GMC Jimmy with 166000 km (100000miles).

If it's very cold outside the oil temperature maynot stay above 212F to boil away the condensation [water vapor] in oil promoting sludge formation.
