1. A vehicle service scheduling system comprising:

  • a plurality of onboard sensors for monitoring vehicle operation;

    a data processing system programmed to execute an algorithm for vehicle service scheduling;

    a vehicle controller area network coupled to collect data from the plurality vehicle onboard sensors and to provide the data to the data processing system;

    a display under the control of the data processing system for displaying a plurality of screens under direction of the algorithm for vehicle service scheduling for operator use in characterizing usage rules for serviceable items installed on a vehicle by selection of variables from the monitored sensors, screens for stipulating service life range for the serviceable items and a screen indicating service intervals for the vehicle, each usage rules operating on at least one vehicle operating variable; and

    the algorithm for vehicle scheduling including a first sub-algorithm for usage rate and a second sub-algorithm for service scheduling, the first sub-algorithm including the user characterized rules and the second sub-algorithm operating on the results of the first sub-algorithm to schedule dates and items for service.
