Anyone use a software program to track your trucks maintenance?

I'm trying to find a free online software program to start tracking all my maintenance for my new truck. I need something that will allow me to track all costs/overall mpg/oil changes/tire rotation ect ect

I had a free download, but I cant remember what program it was called.
Anyone use such a program?

I've been searching but cant seem to find any free spreadsheet type programs.
I dont need anything elaborate, I'm not doing a fleet of trucks, just my own.

Any help wud be great
thx

Will check some of those out, pretty sure though, that they are free for a trial period only....usually a month, or 15 entries.

The ones I listed I believe are all free to the user, but there were many other hits that were only 30 day trial basis.

Like the 10w40 site shows:

"Free for individuals - fee based for fleets"

I use Excell. Make a template and plug in the numbers. Calculates everything you could want to know. I have every penny that I've spent on the truck in the spreadsheet.

This is the one I'm using after trying to do the same thing in Excel. The only thing I do not like about it is the opening page. It list all the versions and their prices and then has the opening button for the software down at the bottom corner. Just a minor thing that probably only bothers me.

If there is enough interest for this and everyone has Microsoft Access, I may make one sometime here in the next month or so... If I do, I will post it for anyone to use.

If you're going to do it in Access, I do believe there's a utility to make it a stand alone program. I'll do some digging.
