Oil Change Reminder App

Written by Muneeb Rana · Last updated 21 October 2026

Quick answer: CarO is a free oil change reminder app for iPhone and Android. Log each oil change with the date, odometer and cost, then set a reminder for the next one. CarO also reminds you about inspections and other services, and keeps the service history and costs for every car you add.

TL;DR

  • Log the oil change, set the next reminder.
  • Reminders for oil changes, inspections and other services.
  • History and costs kept per car.

CarO's oil change reminder makes the most common maintenance job impossible to forget. After each change, you record it in a few taps and choose when you want to be reminded next.

How the oil change reminder works

  1. Add your car (make, model, current odometer).
  2. Log the oil change: date, odometer, oil type, shop and cost.
  3. Set the next reminder for when your manual says it's due. Not sure? Use the oil change interval calculator.
  4. CarO notifies you when it's time .
  5. Log the next change and repeat.

More than oil

Set reminders for tire rotations, inspections and MOTs, registration, insurance renewals, brake fluid and anything else on your maintenance schedule. Each reminder sits next to the car's history in the car repair log.

Why a reminder app beats a windscreen sticker

Stickers fade, fall off and only cover one job. Dashboard oil-life reminders reset to a default that may not match your oil. An app keeps every reminder, for every car, with the record of what was actually done. Read how often to change oil and the oil change light guide.

Free calendar alternative

Prefer your calendar? The service reminder tool makes a one-off calendar alert, no app needed. CarO is better when you have several cars or want history and costs together (multiple vehicles).

Download CarO free on the App Store or Google Play. Free with ads; optional in-app purchases.
