I may be missing the point, by what does the "Lube" in the name signify

#42I used to track all of this as well. Now I drive an EV and there is absolutely nothing left to track.

You also apparently own modern car, and you bought it new, and authorized maintenance is available nearby, and they are probably competent enough.

#45I would love something like this targeting a broader category of machines. For example, keeping track of when I last changed the oil in my lathe or pressure washer and notifying me to do some kind of regular maintenance.

Personally I have no idea. But I guess an experienced car mechanic can know more.
