Classic Car Maintenance Log

Older vehicles don't remind you when something's due, and nobody remembers which oil filter fits or when the diffs were last changed. This log keeps all of it in one place, made for classic cars, vintage trucks and 4x4s, by someone who wrenches on his own.

It's a 5-page printable and fillable log (US Letter PDF). Type into it on your computer or print it and keep it in a binder:

- The Vehicle: year/make/model, VIN, engine, transmission, transfer case, axles and ratio, tire size and pressure, paint code, purchase date and odometer, plate, insurance, and which units you use (miles or km).

- Fluids, Filters & Capacities: 12 rows (engine oil, filter, coolant, trans, transfer case, diffs, brake and clutch fluid, power steering, grease, fuel) for type/spec, capacity, part number and notes.

- Go-To Contacts: mechanic, parts store and roadside assistance.

- Service Intervals: 18 common services for older vehicles (ignition, valve adjustment, wheel bearing repack, chassis grease and more) plus 3 blank rows, with distance, months, last done and next due.

- Known Issues to Watch and Torques & Settings I Use: your own notes from your manual.

- Service Log: 50 rows over 2 pages for date, odometer, work done, parts and fluids, cost, and DIY or shop.

- Parts & Part Numbers: 14 rows for the filters, plugs, belts and bulbs you buy again and again, plus a notes page.

It works in miles or kilometers, for any make. You fill in the specs from your own service manual, so it fits your exact vehicle.

Instant download, for personal use. This is a record-keeping tool: take all specs, capacities and intervals from your vehicle's service manual.
