Maintenance log

This is a detailed list of everything I have ever done to this vehicle
since the day I got it in December 2016. This is a living document so it will change. Ruby has good (bones).

 I change the oil in Ruby every other Friday. Every one of these listed on the detailed maintenance log is an oil change.

Valvoline oil Filter VO-102 and Valvoline 0W20 MaxLife oil API SN Filter and full light inspection and inflated all tires to factory specifications.

It seems to have worked, I paid off Ruby (the only car that has lasted that long) I paid on-time car payments for many years. So I just replace everything as needed with the best parts I can afford and change the oil every two weeks, I take care of Ruby and she takes care of me. I take care of the passengers and use Ruby to run any personal errands that I have, it has always worked until now anyway.

I depend on Ruby to earn money.
Ruby is also the only vehicle we have. So when I press the button to start Ruby, I need her to start for me every time without fail (which it always has) in order for that to happen, I need to stay on top of the maintenance of Ruby, for example, the coolant pump has never given me a problem at all. I know like everything else in Ruby eventually, it is going to fail. So I changed it. I do things like that all the time to Ruby and she has never broken down on me EVER. Each year between June 1st and November 30th in Florida we have this thing called “hurricane season” I call it the rainy season. I put new tires on Ruby, new brake pads, and new windshield wipers on her each year that is really all you can really do, well, and have good auto insurance, which I do also.
