I don't trust the maintence minder pure an simple. I feel it it more for super busy lifestyle with oil changes very low on the priority list.

Imagine if they used it on airplanes, rather than going by hours of flight.
Like it or not there is a huge body of scientific evidence that proves that the OLM systems currently being used my many manufacturers are very effective.

Your analogy to airplanes is a bit odd. Modern FADEC controlled airplanes do in fact use such predictive systems; however, trying to retrofit such a system to the 1945 vintage technology O-300 that I occasionally fly behind just isn't practical. That said, I think such an idea is wonderful.
