fatbastard Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 For those of you that do your own maintenance; how do you keep track of you oil changes? Between my car and the wife's I often forget when the next change is due. I was thinking of picking up something like this: http://www.oilchangereminders.com or the generic ones at http://www.oilstickersdirect.com just don't think I need two thousand!

fatbastard Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 Keeping track of the LGT is one thing...I have complete control over that but the wife's A4 is another thing. I hardly drive her car since I go the GT and the A4's do have issues with sludge so I want to make sure she doesn't run too long without a change.

mickeyd2005 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I used to use a simple notepad in the glovebox. Now, I just keep track of it on EXCEL using three columns: date, mileage, and maintenance activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatbastard Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 The main problem I have is with her car, since I don't regularly see what mileage she is at and how many miles she is averaging a week I pretty much guess at a date. Then if something comes up when I am supposed to check or the weather sucks it ends up getting put off and if I forget it doesn't get done. I was thinking something like this would remind her....ugh who am I kidding, she doesn't notice anything on the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
941LE Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Local parts stores here seem to have a roll of those stickers near the filters...I usually grab a dozen or so when I know I'm getting low on them in my toolbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
