Mechanics’ Protocols

Before VO Retrofit Installation

• Test Cooling system efficiency
• Test Compression for leakage
• Test injectors for clean spray pattern & appropriate pop pressure
• Analyze Lubricating Oil for antifreeze, fuel, oxidative products, acidity, solids, viscosities, & presence of other metals both before & after retrofit

Ongoing

• Trained to install VOFITA member retrofits for every diesel vehicle type that the shop services
