Use your vehicle's schedule
Start with the interval in your vehicle manual or the advice of a qualified service professional. A reminder is only useful when its date or mileage threshold reflects the vehicle, oil type and driving conditions you actually have.
After service, record the date and mileage straight away, then set the next reminder. That creates a reliable history instead of relying on a sticker or a memory months later.
Remember the work ahead
Carage lets you set custom reminders for oil changes and other maintenance, alongside the service history and mileage that give each reminder context.

When should I change my oil?
Follow the interval in your vehicle manual and any advice from a qualified professional. Driving conditions and vehicle specifications can change the right interval.
Should I track oil changes by date or mileage?
Use whichever threshold comes first when that is what your manufacturer recommends. Recording both gives a fuller maintenance history.
