Hi BITOG,
For the Mazda in my signature line, I always had the dealership change the oil with my oil if it were already there for something else (normal service, recall, etc.) and I changed the oil myself in between visits without much thought on documenting it other than noting the date, mileage, and type of oil on a windshield sticker. I did mostly 5K-7K OCI full syn changes when it was under warranty, but now stretch that out to 10K or 1 year with Castrol Edge EP and a Fram Ultra filter since it is almost 9 years old with 75K miles on it.
I plan on doing the same thing for the Hyundai and and Volvo (both recently acquired), but both are covered under a factory warranty, the Volvo a CPO warranty that goes out to 7 years or 70K miles, and the Sonata under a Hyundai extended 10yrs/120K powertrain warranty. Keeping that in mind, I'd like to do a better job of documenting the oil changes I do myself just in case an issue arises where OCIs or related matters are an issue. What's the best way to do this?
Thank you
