I wrote a program to track oil changes

I hope this is the correct forum for this.

I wrote a program, that tracks your oil changes, tells you when it's time to change it again. Will do this based on time or mileage, for limits you set, like every six months or 3000 miles. Goes to various web sites and in several cases provides you with the oil filter for your car.

Is this something people think there is a market for?

I don't know if you'll get anyone to pay you money for it. The my.subaru.com website will track all of your servicing for you, including oil changes, whether you do it yourself or it's done at the dealer. It will send you email reminders when servicing is due. And it's free.

I made a program to track my gas mileage, but I stopped using it because my mileage never varied that much.

Good luck with your program, though.
