Luber-finer, a manufacturer of heavy duty filtration since 1936, has announced the latest expansion of the filter company’s digital advantage program. Now accessible on luberfiner.com and available, in the future, on the Luber-finer mobile app, Vindetech is the first online vehicle identification number (VIN) search tool in the heavy duty filtration market. Luber-finer’s new digital resource allows users to enter the VIN from an on-road heavy duty truck and find the exact filters they need for that vehicle.
“This project is the culmination of years of hard work and catalog system software development,” said Layne Gobrogge, director of heavy duty marketing for Champion Laboratories. “We knew that once we got the concept to work, it could be a game-changing tool for installers, parts managers and our own sales force. As we continue to grow our brand, we will be leveraging this new tool as another example of how Luber-finer is indeed 'built to do more'.”
Users begin the Vindetech filter search by entering all 17 digits of a vehicle’s VIN in the field at the bottom of the left column on the Luber-finer homepage. The tool confirms the VIN, model year, manufacturer and other vehicle details, then produces a list of the specific filters that are required for servicing that exact vehicle.
Additional features include VIN search capability for light and medium duty vehicles as well as the ability to upload multiple VINs at once from an Excel spreadsheet. The tool also generates a PDF packet of all search results that users can download for future reference.
