Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Cars / February 2008keeping oil change history???
we have started saving our oil change histories/receipts for all automobiles... smart for resell or pointless? discuss! > we have started saving our oil change histories/receipts for all > automobiles... > smart for resell or pointless? smart. that way if you ever have some serious car problem that had to be fixed, the buyer will never spot the repair records in the thick pile of maintenance docs! =) > we have started saving our oil change histories/receipts for all > automobiles... > smart for resell or pointless? > > discuss!

The log provides the history at a glance, and the receipts provide proof of what was done.

OK I have been keeping the log in Google docs spreadsheet.... very handy.... but haven't been keeping the receipts. >>> we have started saving our oil change histories/receipts for all >>> automobiles... [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Will just keeping the history recorded work or should > one ALSO keep the receipts? Get a folder and keep the receipts there. They may come in handy if there is a warranty or quality issue with the car or the parts you buy. Jeff >> we have started saving our oil change histories/receipts for all >> automobiles...

I look at the mileage but mileage can be phony also about 1-5%. >>> we have started saving our oil change histories/receipts for all >>> automobiles...

ALL cars are off by that much. My Mazda is off even more. It says 175,000 on the Odo, but by using "Measured Miles" on the highyway it's off by .05 miles per 10 miles. Do the math. So what, the Odo says 175,000 so 175,000 it is. Schiesekopf... > we have started saving our oil change histories/receipts for all > automobiles... > smart for resell or pointless? > > discuss! Not only is it smart for resale, if you have a problem caused by the oil change, you have proof of what oil and oil filter were used and who did the oil change. SignatureRay O (correct punctuation to reply) >> we have started saving our oil change histories/receipts for all >> automobiles... [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > the > oil change. Oil can never cause a damage to your engine, only in your mind. ONLY Insufficient OIL can cause a damage, How and Why? Lack of oil = high HEAT build-up, it'll burn your Piston Rings. It's not the oil, it is the HEAT. Got it? >>> we have started saving our oil change histories/receipts for all >>> automobiles...

Here, have another look: >> Not only is it smart for resale, if you have a problem caused by the oil >> change, Guess you missed the word "change", eh? Methinks that having been a Factory Rep for Toyota for a number of years, Ray *might* have a little more experience in automotives than you. But, you seem more interested in playing games with semantics and being a troll than offering anything of any value. I have plonked about 6 people in almost 20 years of Usenet. You're teetering on the edge of being #7. Nothing. That's what Jakthehammer wrote. Or so it amounted to... BTW, methinks thou shouldst change your name.. to Jaktheass... >>> we have started saving our oil change histories/receipts for all >>> automobiles...

I am fairly familiar with how engines work, the mistakes that service facilities can make when changing oil, and with warranty policies and procedures. Apparently, you are not familiar with any of the above. SignatureRay O (correct punctuation to reply) >> Oil can never cause a damage to your engine, only in your mind.

Ray, I don't think he's too familiar with many of his remaining brain cells, either... >>> Oil can never cause a damage to your engine, only in your mind.

His response, if there is one, will confirm or refute that!

ANY documentation is good. Oil change, tire rotation, timing belts, coolant change, yada, yada, yada. The more documentation, the more you can ask towards High Book.

They have never done me any good, as I always run my vehicles forever. They just sit there, taking up space.... Tomes |
