Do you use a reminder sticker when you do your own oil change?

[dwasifar]

I do. I got a bunch of these for a couple bucks on eBay:

Really helps me stay aware of when the next change is due.

I write the milage under the hood as well as on a card I stuff up by the windshield

 

[Sedin26]

I change oil twice per year in our vehicles, spring and fall, so don’t bother with the reminders.

 

[reemoeMO]

No, I keep my windshield clear. I simply write on my calendar on the day I do it, with the odometer reading. I typically do changes twice a year--roughly April and October.

Good find. Personally I use a spreadsheet to keep track of all car maintenance in one place. Some of my friends have little notebooks that they keep inside each car. Some use stickers like these. I know one older guy who uses a yellow grease pencil and he writes the oil change date and mileage on the underside of the hood or on the front cross bracing or plastic shrouds or engine covers.

Trip "B" odometer for oil, but I do keep the window sticker for tire rotation reminders. Places like Advance Auto and Oreilly's keep a roll of those stickers by the oil supplies so you can grab a few for free.

I just always reset my “Trip B” odometer at every oil change to keep track.

I change every 5K so no stickers for me

Easter and Halloween

 

[Starrk]

I have a reminder in my phone's calendar for my own reminders and I have some stickers for my friends cars

 

[PimTac]

The car reminds me.

 

[GMBoy]

I use the oil life monitor and Trip B

 

[KCHOPS]

I bought a roll on Amazon.

I put them on family members cars. Not on my own.

 

[dogememe]

I use stickers on friends or family cars but not on my own because it has an OLM. Although in the past when I had older vehicles I did use stickers on my own.

I did use FORScan to reprogram my OLM for 1 year/10k miles instead of the 6 months/7.5k miles. It’s still intelligent/variable based on conditions it just calculates it based on the new numbers I chose.

The Calendar reminds me Oct and April. Can it get much simpler?

Trip A-oil change
Trip B-rotate tires

Grease pencil on masking tape under the hood: mileage, date, brand of oil. Date is most important because due to being retired and Covid, I don't put that many miles on my three cars, so it's once a year for oil changes.
