Keep Tabs On Your Vehicle’s Needs With LubeLogger

I know it exists, but would rather self-host and not have this data linked to Strava.
Not sure how data is exported from that app, though.

For anyone whose first thought does not reach for vehicles, this is a most unfortunate name. Extremely appropriate, but unfortunate.
"Self-Hosted, Open-Source, Unconventionally-Named Vehicle Maintenance Records and Fuel Mileage Tracker"
Very intentional at least

I also run around 10k miles between changes, but newer engines (2013 Camry) are much easier on the oil than a straight-six from 1992 so I'd be hesitant to push it quite as far without doing an oil analysis. You could also just change the filter and keep the same oil at 5k then change both at 10k (again depending on how dirty the engine makes it).
Haven't looked into it but do shops offer lube analysis services? Yeah you could send out your own sample to a lab, having it as a shop service would be way more accessible to people.
Though, in my experience, getting people to commit can be a pain, lots of "yeah I know we have a long p-f interval and it's super noticeable before it functionally fails, but it's not that much effort so I'm doing needless maintenance anyhow just in case", which end of the day you do you.

I don't know if it will work outside of Albania, but I found it while I'm in California.

I have a question. At page 150 of the European user manual for the Jeep Renegade, it says to change the oil every 30k kilometers (19k miles). (And this applies to most petrol engines sold in the last 5 decades.)
Why in USA it's common to replace the engine oil 4-6 times as often?
I've had the oil in my 2008 Sienna analyzed a few times by Blackstone Labs, and have been told that 5k miles is what I should stick to.

Can you screenshot that?
I see an export attachments (does nothing when I tried), and reports (only prints the data, but doesn't export in any meaningful file format).
Those are the same buttons I saw.
The export attachments I assume is intended to export the files you would upload, like scanned in service records and whatnot. Obviously, the demo throws a "no records" error (or however they phrased it). Presumably, they didn't think about people wanting to test that feature and didn't bother to upload attachments, but you could upload an attachment and then export it to test methinks.
The reports, however is where you've confused me a bit. Mine defaults to exporting to PDF, which is definitely a meaningful format. You can convert it into anything

I know it's "cheap insurance," and I'll never convince you otherwise (nor do I intend to -- you do you), but it's really just a waste of money/oil with modern synthetics. Even if you stretched it out to just 5k you'd be saving almost half as much oil/money while maintaining the same protection. Using a quality filter (factory OEM, Wix) is important too.
I've put around 180k miles on my Toyota in the last 9 years with 9k-10k intervals and it runs great as well with a sparkling interior under the valve cover.
I’ll look into it, one of the main concerns I have is finding metal in the pan early on, and mine is a keep, she runs really hot that is why assumed the oil change that jeep advices was mandatory, but I’ll check in the jeep forum see what they say, thank you!

I don't give a shit about my car, but I'd love to use this for my bikes! I'm currently using a spreadsheet and self-hosted calendar to keep track, but this would be "easier".
I tried the demo, but maybe I missed it: how do you export the data you've input, in case you need to move it to somewhere else or if the project stops, and you want to back up the data?
Data portability is as important to me as self-hosting.
I track my bikes and ebikes on lubelogger.
It's not an optimal solution, but it tracks everything I need it too.There's a backup button in the settings that creates a .db file.

Thanks. I guess the demo restricts those backup and export features.

In fact, my wife and I already have a self hosted LubeLogger.
