Building customer loyalty: why oil changes are important

Building customer loyalty in any business is challenging. Getting customers back to the car repair shop is the most difficult task for car owners. If a store can crack this code, they will seize current and future repair and maintenance opportunities. The only inherent opportunity for each vehicle to increase customer loyalty is engine oil and functional fluid services.

In this one-hour webinar, our experts will discuss how they can establish oil change and vehicle maintenance plans to maintain customer return rates and help maintain healthy profit margins.

The multi-lip seal prevents the ingress of grease and contaminants while providing maximum retention.

Dana Incorporated has introduced Spicer Life Series Plus (SPL Plus) u-connectors for light-duty vehicle applications. The new advanced series uses upgraded materials and enhanced functions to provide excellent overall strength and longer product life at high operating temperatures.

Bill Nunnery, senior director of sales and marketing for Dana's global aftermarket, said: "Today's vehicle exhaust systems are usually placed closer to the transmission system. Due to greater temperature fluctuations, it will put more pressure on the transmission system components." "We have developed a new high-quality SPL Plus u-type connector series to provide higher maximum temperature capability, longer bearing life and overall durability for vehicles that require an increased heat resistance range."

The unique features of the SPL Plus U-shaped joint include a cross journal, which uses a cold-formed body design to ensure better overall strength; enhanced gasket materials, including the elimination of friction, end wear, and metal-to-metal contact Thrust washers; bearing caps are surface hardened and precision ground to increase strength and durability. The upgraded green fully synthetic grease significantly improves the maximum temperature capability and prolongs the life of the bearing. The multi-lip seal prevents the ingress of grease and contaminants, while providing maximum retention in a wider environment.

"Dana's talented engineering team continues to incorporate the latest developments in U-joint materials and design, so we can provide consistently reliable products for customers who need the best," Nunnery said. "Global manufacturers have regarded the SPL u-connector as a quality benchmark, so we adopted this trusted OE product and improved it. We are proud to be able to bring unparalleled performance to the aftermarket through the SPL Plus u-connector Performance and longevity."
