Set up a recurring oil change
Goal: create a Service Schedule that tracks oil changes for a vehicle.
- Open the vehicle from the Vehicles page.
- Go to the Tasks tab.
- Click the add action to open the schedule form.
- Choose the oil change classification.
- Enter a distance interval - for example, every 5000 miles (or kilometers, depending on the vehicle's distance unit).
- Optionally enter a month interval - for example, every 6 months.
- At least one interval is required. Both can be set; the schedule triggers when either is reached.
- Save the schedule.
What you should see #
The schedule appears in the vehicle's tasks list with computed next-due date and mileage. These are based on the most recent record tagged "oil change", or, if none exists, the vehicle's estimated mileage.
What happens next #
When you log a record tagged "oil change", the schedule resets. When the next due date or mileage is reached, the schedule shows as due.
