Luckily I caught mine in time, and luckily I'm running Mobil 1 full synthetic oil. I simply forgot about how far I'd gone without an oil change... which ended up being just under 18,000 miles.
I don't use the computer to keep track maintenance items. I change my oil before every track event. That is two days of tracking and the road miles after that track session, so once a month or two at most. I change brake, transmission, clutch and rear diff fluid once a year unless there is a reason to do it sooner. The air filter gets changed or cleaned once or twice a year. Tires are once a year or when there condition dictates. I check my brake pads and clean them about every other rotation of my tires which I do after every track event.

If you are tracking your car you can't over due the maintenance. My mechanics all thank me because they know I am doing my part to keep the car reliable.
