It was easy to move this to Apple Numbers. I simply saved your xlsx file to Downloads on my Mac, then opened it in Numbers and renamed it. The newly named file is now a Numbers file and is only missing a font or 2 that was used in xlsx. No data was lost and it's fully functional.

Good info, I appreciate that. Slowly chipping away at dropping google services..

Same - I don't see the excel file, thanks!

Edit.. everything I'm doing isn't working. BBcode is just changing it to a media element.

Anyone know how I can copy a google sheet link and have the actual link display here? I've tried quoting, using the link embed, etc.

looks like if you put it in a generic code block it won’t modify it.

You might also post the question here. I’ve had good luck with help on forum use.

Might need to dumb that down a bit.. I'm from texas.

For now, if you would paste d/1ilV2aHbkgruuk_7db-VgvRrGDUBagKPqkBLDGMHulME/ onto the end of docs.google.com/spreadsheets/ maybe you all can find a direct link.

Make sure it is /spreadsheets/d/1i etc...

does this work?

Does for me.

Of course, I tried the link embed but didn't add text. Trying to cut corners!

I'll edit the original post. Thanks.

Good gawd, the timing on this thread is impeccable. I got completely hosed by the iOS app I’ve used for neigh on 10 years now when updates stopped coming out for it locking me out causing a complete loss of data for multiple vehicles…. Needless to say, I’m still very butt hurt over this.

I haven’t looked at the full spreadsheet posted here but I’m wanting to track mpg, along with all the other service items, with the vehicle mileage adjusted for 33 inch tires.

Is this possible?

Definitely, with a little bit of excel formatting wizardry. As @manofthewoods said you can even have your fuel mileage entries notify you of upcoming maintenance.
Personally I keep my fuel mileage separate.. I use the fuelly website but not their app. They have a SMS feature where you can text in the info, it'll do the math, reply with mileage, and log the data on their site for graphing or tracking. Though I'm exposed to what happened to you, it's only my fuel mileage stuff. Part of why I do this is in case I fill up where I don't have cellular data, though that is getting less common.

This is amazing! i was just about to look for something like this (to help baseline my 200). planning to make my own copy. thanks for sharing

Did you switch to 5w-30 due to high mileage?

Sorry I forgot to reply to this.. partly the mileage but also to quiet down the valvetrain clatter at idle inherent to this engine family, which 5w-30 did nicely. Plus I had a couple cases of very bad sounding timing chain slap on the 0-20.. didn't happen often but damn does it sound scary when it does.

Also it is specd in this engine in other areas of the world.

But if you just wanted the link clickable.. then using the link button and adding text is best option.

Ah yes. Still learning how to use these interwebs.

This thread inspired me to make spread sheets for my vehicles and motorcycles as well.
