Hi Frank,
The lube schedule has been confined to your owner's manual:
http://www.----------.com/WJLubeSchedule.jpg The rule of thumb has
always been two years, or thirty thousand miles. Smell and feel the
oil's lubrication qualities between your fingers, now and you will
easily see the difference at change time. Or transmission replacement
shortly after.
God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O

Um...what does THAT have to do with tire rotation? Short trips don't
have an effect on tire wear! It's a milage based formula, not one based
on driving habits!

They have a recommendation to rotate at oil changes. Driving habits effect
the oil change interval (regular-severe service)
