What is one of the necessary steps to ensure proper deactivation of a LOFR?

Selecting the correct repair type is crucial for the proper deactivation of a LOFR (Lube, Oil, Filter, Replacement) because it ensures that the repair performed addresses the specific maintenance needs of the vehicle. When a LOFR is deactivated correctly, it typically involves documenting the type of service rendered, ensuring that the vehicle’s maintenance records are accurate and up to date. This step is vital for both compliance with maintenance schedules and the accurate tracking of services performed on the vehicle, which can have implications for warranty claims and overall vehicle health.

This choice focuses on the immediate action taken during the maintenance process, forming the basis for effective vehicle care and management. In contrast, options such as counting the number of LOFRs or documenting the age of the vehicle do not directly relate to the deactivation process, and communicating with the driver, while important for overall service coordination, is not a technical step tied specifically to deactivating a LOFR.
