I won't have to worry about changing to oil for some time as both my car & pickup aren't getting driven much.

Oil was a touch on the darker side, thought I better change it.

My car is closing in on an oil change. Got another two hundred and something miles to go yet.
The truck has several hundred miles to go yet.
The snow thrower is close enough for it's oil to be changed as it is nearing 100 hours of runtime. To be more exact, about 95 hours total runtime. It's oil is looking a bit on the dark side.
The generator probably could use an oil change soon too as it is over 90 hours of runtime total. Typically small air cooled engines should be changed around 100 hours of runtime. Most do it seasonally, I do mine by the hours.
Have no idea when the JD Tractor has been done. I know it needs a new paper and oiled foam pre-filter replaced. To change the oil on the tractor, the filter also has to be replaced on the 12.5 HP Kohler Command OHV engine. Will have an hour meter for that tractor soon.
Would like to have hour meters for all of my outdoor equipment. Then I can stop wearing TWO WATCHES & not worry about how long my equipment has been run by other family members. Cause I am very particular when it comes to keeping my small gas powered equipment maintained.
Externally powered runtime meters typically cost about $24.95. While internally powered runtime meters (LCD display) cost about $39.99. Those will show RPM's when the equipment is running and total hours run when the equipment is off.

I have 2 vehicles, truck remain in the garage till I had the fund to buy new spark plugs, wires and an air filter. Now that the plugs have been replaced along with the wires & air filter, I'm driving the truck again.

Oil changed in my father's car just before heading to Missouri. Cavalier has been changed today. It was only 27.4 miles overdo.

Five quarts of Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30 oil and a Bosch premium oil filter for the truck. Just haven't got around to changing it.
