How about a Log Book. Gas fills; plus Miles: Oil Changes, but Underline, any Maintenance, what etc, again Underline. Helps to see how far between Oil Changes. It is also a good record of When things were done. This is Not a Shoe Box of paper. If a problem comes up, this is may show what to look for First.
Selling the car, it shows how well it has been maintained. In my case, gave our car to the Daughter, and when she turned the car in for a Larger one; the dealer when shown this Log, gave her $500 with out batting an eye.
