TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
The automotive world has the same problem.
Although "Owner's Manual" is somewhat more prevalent, "Owners Manual" and "Owner Manual" are quite well-represented too.
Near as I can tell, motor heads eschew style guides.

My preference is "User Guide." Possessives sometimes go through some very
strange transformations in translation.
