It depends on what year your car is.  My '97 is on a 15/30 schedule - a
minor service every 15 and a major service every 30.  When I last took my
car to the dealership (they had an alignment deal going on) they showed me
the new "menu" geared towards the newer cars.  Which is much more expensive
and happens much more often.
