Do you all really need a sticker to know when it is time to change your oil, or are you just looking for something free from an oil company?

Mostly the latter in my case. Lacking rebates and what not up here, I'm willing to settle for some stickers.

I agree to the second. Really I do not need the stickers,I have used white duct tape on the fan hood and that works. But it is nice to see what you can get for free to see how much these companies appreciate out loyalty to them. Oh by the way Mobil 1 did send me stickers. They came in the mail today. Very cool !
Thank you for contacting Castrol North America.
We would be happy to send you some Castrol stickers for your personal use. We will be sending them to the address you have provided below. Please allow 1-2 weeks for delivery.
Only response so far, but if they deliver all is good - only need 1 set.

Meantime I'll make due with my Blackstone Labs sticker and hope I don't have to recycle it

Spyder, I have an idiot maintenance required light that comes on around 5,000 miles. But just in case it malfunctioned or something, I clear my trip A on the odometer @ my oil change. that way I can see how far along I am on the oil. Just some food for thought. Works for me. Plus I sort of make a mental note of the millage at which I changed it. You be surprised at how your subconscious mind will alert you sometimes.

I wouldn't mind collecting some oil change stickers from various companies (I may have some Shell ones laying around from the early 1980s; I'm not sure). I don't use them, since one of my little pet peeves (more like OCD) is stickers. No bumper stickers, dealer stickers, parking decals, provincial parks decals, or oil change stickers are allowed on my vehicles.
Yes, I'm probably nuts.

I picked up a bunch from Auto Zone and Schucks a couple years ago.

I have a book that I keep all my maint. records in for each car. I show the date and any work performed. Oil changes, brakes,etc. No stickers for me.

I used to just jot the miles AT CHANGE in the corner of the windshield with a opaque marker. That got to be a pain though.

The previous owner debadged my Audi when he repainted it. I like it that way. For oil changes, I just write all my services down in a little notebook. We BITOGers pay enough attention as it is. Oil change stickers are just there for the general public to ignore.

my oil change is coming up soon and i have been looking forward to it for two weeks.
O'Reilly Auto Parts gives them away for free. They are in the oil/filter section and by the cash register as well.
Received my 6 free stickers from Castrol today. At the expected 2 OCIs/year I'm envisioning lately, this is a 3 year supply. Nothing from anyone else, but Castrol was also the only one to respond to my e-mail request. 6 are enough. I considered it a score if I got some from any of the companies I e-mailed. Along with my freebie Castrol cap that came with the jug of Syntec I bought, these guys are the only crew I've gotten any freebies from.
Props to Castrol for customer service.

I was at the local Napa and the guy in front of me asked for some reminder stickers and was handed an entire roll of Castrol ones.
contacted Red Line, Royal Purple and Castrol for stickers.
and they did send me some:
Redline: 3
Royal Purple : 4
Castrol, the most generous: 8
