This is really simple. Idling a gasoline car or truck is much different than run time on stationary equipment or on a heavy piece of diesel construction or farm equipment.
First off there is a different effect on idling a cold gas vehicle vs a fully warmed up one. So not all idle hours are equal.
Cold idle will add more fuel to the oil and the engine oil additives will not be effective causing more wear.
Average speed is also a weird metric. Many vehicles will be at their Best mpg at 45-50 mph yet you can never average your cruising speed. Fasterdrivi g may May be harder on oil, driving slower may be easier. Depending on countles factors.
I think Toyota has a good system. If you drive regular, you go 10k
This is simply defined.
If you use a cartop carrier, tow a trailer, drive on rough or dusty terrain, do delivery, or drive in heavy city traffic. Go5k
Dont over complicate does your driving fall into severe or not?
If you live in a city you think city driving is normal.. and it is for you, but it is still severe. Just like driving dusty and muddy roads is normal for me..still severe.
