LOFR stands for lube, oil, filter, and rotation. It is a package deal for routine preventative maintenance that includes draining and replacing the engine oil, installing a new oil filter, lubricating chassis grease points, and rotating the tires. Fleet managers and rental companies use this metric heavily to track which vehicles are due for their scheduled garage visits.
Heard on the job
Pull that sedan out of the ready line, the system shows it needs a LOFR before we can rent it out again.
Insider tip
Many newer vehicles have sealed chassis components without grease fittings, making the lube portion of a LOFR strictly a visual inspection.
