how do you track your oil changes and lab reports?

[derwagen]

do you use a notebook in the glovebox, a custom excel spreadsheet, or an app?

what fields are you tracking in your logs? do you track engine hours, fuel efficiency, or keep copies of blackstone reports in the same file?

would love to see how you organize your records over the years.

Google sheets.

The odometer. Oil changed on every 5k miles. I don't need oil analysis because I don't push things out to the ragged edge. Other fluids get changed on an "it's about time" basis.

Oil Changes - Excel spreadsheet
Oil Lab reports - ALS does it for me. I just have to log in.

No lab reports.
Low miles, so if it's cool in the garage, the mood will strike me. (Annual changes).

excel. Separate sheet tab for each car, PWC, OPE, home projects. I actually keep the tabs for stuff I don't own anymore.

Oil changes get tracked along with all other repairs and maintenance in a vehicle specific spreadsheet on my MacBook.

With Lake Speed....

Here you go boss! Google Sheets & Fuelly

You can "Freeze Frame" the top rows so when you scroll down they'll always stay in view. In this link they don't do that when it's published online though so this link doesn't show that.

Thread '2007 Ford F-350 6.0L Power Stroke Used Oil Analysis (UOA) History'

Mar 18, 2024

It would be better to see this spreadsheet history when I list the newest oil sample. Early results start on the left & latest samples to the right or just look at the dates towards the top. This truck blew the notorious EGR cooler but was fixed right before I bought it. You can see the Sodium decline over time & the Potassium is less clear since I use different UOA labs. Towards the right I have universal averages for this engine along w/Avg's of each sample.
