I use an excel spreadsheet, but a simple notepad will work. I include in my records....
- Date
- Mileage
- Service performed
- Supplies used & where purchased
Also, photo copy your receipt, especially store receipts easily rub off ink. My first receipt rubbed off in my wallet, luckily I was able to reprint it using Walmart's online receipt finder.
I also keep the old oil filters, I store them in zip lock bags that I then place in the boxes the new filter comes in, makes them easy to store and stack. I also date the box with a marker so I know which oil change that filter came from.
This is all just in case something comes up during the 5 year/60k powertrain warranty. However, in all my years of doing my own oil changes, not once has anyone asked me about my maintenance records for any warranty work. But better to have and not need right
