Hey everyone, I uploaded my excel template for my 07 to share with everyone. It doesn't have everything (4c was replaced, coils, etc. prior to purchase, and DEM/CCM are not of concern to me) but it is a good template for a by-interval savings. Its something I budget off of each year for each car.

I'll incorporate comments as I see valid, but its mine and will not apply to everyone, so... GO.

Couple generic comments that apply:
* I know oil changes should happen more frequently. I have a high budget in there to accomodate more than one per recommended service interval.
* I know carwashes are not every 5000 miles. Again, budget for $40 in supplies can get a LOT of carwashes.

etc.etc.etc.

I like how you have the cells linked with formulas so updates and changes are easy and self updating. It allows users to enter their own intervals and cost estimates, and the calculations blow through.

Did you review the maintenance matrix in the owner's manual?

My wife laughs at some of the spreadsheets I develop - but, hey, that's what I do....

And I cannot remember the last time I averaged 10,000 miles per year on any of my daily drivers. Maybe in high school when I lived 2 miles from school and 1/2 mile from work???

That's a great sheet you've created. Not to start anything, but with a good synthetic oil, 7500 miles is perfectly fine for an oil change interval on a street-driven car.

Thanks, yes this is DIRECTLY from the 07 S60/S60R manual for servicing intervals up through 200k. I drive about 7 miles to work otherwise I take the XC. We don't get out that much except lake/road trips which always seems to go the XC's way for storage room.

Here's the one I made last fall: It's a bit messier. It's based upon 270k miles of receipts I have for my R. It's all based upon FCP/iPd OEM pricing. Couldn't figure out how to put a DMF in there as mine is almost 300k old and is gonna be replaced at the next clutch.

So what you're saying is you want a Passion Red V70 R?

I think everyone says that... My stable will someday have Magic, Passion, and Sonic...

Actually I'm not going to lie, I DID want one. Then I got to REALLY looking at that rear end and I definitely prefer mine. Just personal preference.

Because you know it's all about that ace,
'Bout that ace, no wagon
It's all 'bout that ace, 'bout that ace, no wagon
It's all 'bout that ace, 'bout that ace, no wagon
It's all 'bout that ace, 'bout that ace



OK, thread jacking over… I really that spreadsheet can and will help people.
