⚗️Formulas

This page describes the "Formulas" for how all the information is stored in the database and what is required to receive the data from the database.

The Oil Type, Oil Capacity, Oil Filter Part Number and the Tire Pressure are all stored in the database under the Year, Make, Model and Engine. This is to allow users to have different values for the same make and model a year a part from the other in the event that there are any major or minor changes between the two years. If all of the data fields are filled in for a 2001 GMC Sierra 1500, they may not be filled in for a 2002 GMC Sierra 1500.

YEAR, MAKE, MODEL, ENGINE -> OIL TYPE, OIL CAPACITY, OIL FILTER, TIRE PRESSURE

The Model Notes are stored in the database under the Make, Model and Engine, meaning that only the make, model and engine need to match to display the information stored in the database. If you save model notes for a 2001 GMC Sierra 1500, the notes will display if you enter the VIN of a 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 as long as it has the same engine as the previous one.

MAKE, MODEL, ENGINE -> MODEL NOTES

The VIN Notes are stored under the VIN. The VIN notes will only display if the same VIN is entered after the notes had been submitted. This is good for users who want to remember to perform an action or to inspect a component next time they work on the vehicle giving them a reminder of the previous visit.
