For anyone whose first thought does not reach for vehicles, this is a most unfortunate name. Extremely appropriate, but unfortunate.

Very intentional at least
So this isn't a tool to remind me when it's time to reorder my 55 gallon drum of personal lubricant?
(Apologies for linking to Amazon... it was them or Walmart and they're both terrible)
I don't know if it will work outside of Albania, but I found it while I'm in California.
Why's this guy doing oil changes every 3k miles on his Jeep? Just spend the extra $5 for synthetic and push it out to 5k+ miles.
Edit: this does seem interesting but I think it would work better as a smartphone app that syncs with your home server. I drive a lot for work and it would be a huge pain in the ass to continually track mileage and whatnot on my desktop (or presumably from a webui on my phone but only in range of my wifi).
I bought a car that comes with a "free" 300k/30 year warranty, but only if to do oil changes every 4k miles or 3 months. Maybe this guy has something similar?
For me, I may try And keep it up for a bit, but driving to one particular dealer every 3 months just to get a ridiculous warranty that will probably never actually pay out isn't worth it.
smartphone app
It's a PWA, just install the site on your phone as a native app. I've been using it for about a year.
I have a question. At page 150 of the European user manual for the Jeep Renegade, it says to change the oil every 30k kilometers (19k miles). (And this applies to most petrol engines sold in the last 5 decades.)
Why in USA it's common to replace the engine oil 4-6 times as often?
I've had the oil in my 2008 Sienna analyzed a few times by Blackstone Labs, and have been told that 5k miles is what I should stick to.
for synthetic and push it out to 5k+ miles.
Haha yeah
Hides my car always pushing 10k miles
I also run around 10k miles between changes, but newer engines (2013 Camry) are much easier on the oil than a straight-six from 1992 so I'd be hesitant to push it quite as far without doing an oil analysis. You could also just change the filter and keep the same oil at 5k then change both at 10k (again depending on how dirty the engine makes it).
