Maintenance Log
 

Maybe its a bit over the top, but i usually make one of these for all of my vehicles. It helps with keeping track of the basic stuff, also helps with resale (not that im ever selling my 6.7:D), and i suppose it would help prove maintenance history if need be. This was made on an excel spreadsheet so pictures and receipts from fluids, filters, etc could be added to the line items.

Yeah, I think it's a good idea. I have a similar spreadsheet with every fuel purchase since the beginning, and a trip log with everything I ever did with the truck since I drove it off the dealer lot. I often use the vehicle log book for billing purposes too. And I keep track of monthly operating hours to find the idle percentage, and of course whenever I do oil changes or add DEF that is noted.

I have a paper binder that lives in the truck door pocket with the pages that I fill in by hand, and then periodically I enter it into the spreadsheet so I have an electronic copy.

Or you could consider using the ford owners website as well.

For invoicing purposes if you use your truck to make money an excel spreadsheet is good.

Nope i dont use it to make money. But its proving to be an effective way to spend money :-missingt

I have an ap on my phone. Keeps track of fuel, including where via gps in case I need to go back, maint items including scheduled and TSB's and whatever else. There are a bunch out there.

I guess I one. I have a log going on ever fuel purchase by mileage, def usage by mileage and oil changes. stoped loging when I saw the regen because I messed more then I cought.

I use the AMSOIL website - they have My Garage. This is where you keep all your records and you can have e-mails sent to you. When and if you sell, you can print it.

+1.

I believe that Ford can see what you put into this website and therefore the records would be useful in the event of an expensive warranty repair. I use Ford Owner for this reason. :-X22

I hate it when I get fuel and they have a $100 limit. Very nice log.

My fuel logs go into a spreadsheet, receipts in a filing cabinet and regular maintenance logged to Ford Owners so Ford can look at oil changes anytime they want.
My dealer logs what they do to this site so I'm sure they can see my own records.

i hate the $100 limit also. thus i usually fill up around half tank. less of a hit that way and always have good reserves

Yes, when my high pressure turbo was out of spec, first question was oil changes. I referred them to the website and that was it.

so i signed up on the ford owner site. can i add my own maintenace, or only dealer maintenance?

Yes, click on the picture of the vehicle you added then click Add Service below the service summary.
It's the basic things; oil, fuel, tires, etc..
I even add my tire rotations to this.

TRENT310 could you email me a copy of your spreadsheet?
