Quote HistoryQuoted: I've changed my own oil for the past 50+ years and have never used an app for it. Not sure what an app can do that writing it in the back of the owners manual doesn't already cover. How's that Window's 95 working for you? |

I can't tell you what it is but at 70k mi on my 2019 doing 7500+ oil changes, it would start running rougher at idle as you were getting closer to the oil change, particularly when the engine was hot. Eventually, it started running rough all the time, I diagnosed it as bad VCTs. Changed them and the problem went away. I'm doing 5k oil changes now because pulling the passenger valve cover is a PITA. I use only full synthetic oil. |

Chevy stopped issuing manuals and wants $90 for a copy (price/S&H/tax) if you want to order one - pisses me off.
Can't access online manual if in a deadspot like my local walmart and the local walmart's reference manuals that use to hang in the oil/filter area are now also online using a QR code - in a frigging deadspot! You can't log maintenance in the manual that doesn't exist (they don't put a maintenance section in the quickie manual they provide) - I threw a notebook in my truck glovebox to track it. Seems like my oil life monitor usually prompts for an oil change around 6500-7000 miles. |

Interesting; you're correct, that feature is gone. Having to do it via a website is stupid.

That seems inconvenient I use a marker on painters tape stuck on drivers side door jamb. See it every day and there's other stickers with useful info right there too That's great unless you suddenly need to prove you've been changing the oil because you have a warranty claim. For my car, which is out of warranty, I just rest trip meter b when I change the oil. My truck doesn't even have 20k miles on it so I document everything just in case there's a failure before the warranty expires. The old version of Ford Pass allowed you to upload receipts and write what you did on a certain date. That's one of the useful features that disappeared with an update. |

Wait until you discover the start button on the fob, it’s gonna blow your mind! LOL. I can start the truck, make sure it's locked, unlock it for someone else, etc, from anywhere with a cell signal. The fob is good for what, 50-75 yards? |

If you put a record in Carfax, it is only for you and nobody else can see it. I would bet that the system for DIY works the exact same way. |
