Default Scheduled maintenance

I have a question on scheduled maint. I have all the service records form my car from new. it seems both previous owners was very **** about service.
I don't know if it was them or the Jag dealer but they were always about 10000 miles ahead of what the schedule has. 40000 they had the 50000 mile
At 50000 miles they had the 70000 mile service done. Here is my long winded
question, I am only at around 52000 now but should i continue this practice or at 60k or so go back to doing it by the book?

Do whatever makes you the happiest. Just document your actions - that's the important part. A well-documented service history is advantageous in many ways, especially when it comes time to sell the vehicle....

Hi dont forget the service intival is 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. So thats probably why. I would stick with the schedule acording to the previous history. regards

It sounds as if it has been done 'by the book'.

You should be on the 7th Service (70K Miles or 84 Months) this year.
