          "question": "How does My MotoFolio calculate when car maintenance is due?",
          "answer": "My MotoFolio compares your current odometer reading against each component's last serviced mileage and recommended replacement interval (nextDueKm = lastServicedKm + intervalKm). Remaining distance is color-coded into Good (more than 1,000 km remaining), Due Soon (1,000 km or less remaining), Overdue (0 km or negative), or Unset (needs baseline entry)."

          "id": "odometer-simulation",
          "question": "What do the +1k and +5k odometer simulation buttons do?",
          "answer": "The +1k and +5k buttons let you quickly project future mileage without manually typing numbers, instantly recalculating all component countdown bars and status badges. You can reset or edit the exact odometer reading at any time."

You can also create fully custom vehicle profiles and schedules."

          "answer": "Each maintenance log entry records the service date, odometer reading, category, mechanic or workshop name, parts cost, labor cost, payment method, and notes. The interactive expense donut chart lets you toggle breakdowns by service category or by mechanic."
