Vehicle idles about 20 hours per day and when driven it moves at low speed for short distances. We have regular maintenance program but the idle time is taking it's toll on the engine.

Couple questions, is there a formula to figure actual mileage based on engine hours? Are there any schools of thought on preventive maintenance plans for vehicles in the category.

The vehicle is an Air Force Security Forces Truck that sits on post 365 a year, engine running AC on high.
