LubeLogger
For anyone whose first thought does not reach for vehicles, this is a most unfortunate name. Extremely appropriate, but unfortunate.
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.
“Self-Hosted, Open-Source, Unconventionally-Named Vehicle Maintenance Records and Fuel Mileage Tracker”
Very intentional at least
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).

It’s a PWA, just install the site on your phone as a native app. I’ve been using it for about a year.
for synthetic and push it out to 5k+ miles.
Haha yeah
Hides my car always pushing 10k miles
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.
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.
Androbd has an MQTT plugin, I wonder how easy it would be to integrate with LubeLogger.
This is awesome, will there be an api added? I’ve been trying to build an app for the same purpose myself.
I don’t give a shit about my car, but I’d love to use this for my bikes! I’m currently using a spreadsheet and self-hosted calendar to keep track, but this would be “easier”.
I tried the demo, but maybe I missed it: how do you export the data you’ve input, in case you need to move it to somewhere else or if the project stops, and you want to back up the data?
Data portability is as important to me as self-hosting.
Checked the demo on my phone, not sure what the desktop site looks like. But on mobile there’s two buttons at the very bottom of the page for exporting data
Can you screenshot that?
I see an export attachments (does nothing when I tried), and reports (only prints the data, but doesn’t export in any meaningful file format).
I use this for my wife, works well! Surprised how few people know of it
Always important to keep on wife maintenance.
