Going for my wife's Elantra GT 24 month service ( we do LOF every 3months) , but should we have the air filter and the coolant replaced to be in sync with the 'factory maint.' even with only 11K miles on the car ?

Probably will do it anyway.........yes we have had 7 LOF's in the first 10,400 miles but we have the 'lifetime free' services as a bonus for the factory 10 year BTB warranty so why not.

IOW is the mark that dictates failure to comply with factory maint. the
*time or is it the *mileage , in my case the mileage will always lag FAR behind the elapsed time ?

** we _may_be in the 'Severe driving conditions' for MAYBE:
**Repeated short distance driving

Thoughts?

Follow the factory guidelines as written in the Owner's Manual.

Technically, if you grossly exceed either time or mileage, then you haven't followed the guidelines. I personally have never understood the need to change plugs, atf, or similar items that wear with mileage based on time nor coolant based on mileage. But if I owned a new car, I'd probably do it anyway while still within the warranty period.
