What’s the Engine Saying?
This is a hands-on diagnostic training course designed for automotive technicians who want to improve their ability to diagnose engine mechanical problems using oscilloscopes (lab scopes), pressure transducers, and advanced testing techniques instead of relying solely on traditional mechanical inspections.
Fuel Trim Diagnostic – Part 1
This free online course teaches technicians how to access and use Hyundai and Kia factory service resources, including wiring diagrams, repair information, and technical service bulletins (TSBs). It also covers J2534 pass-thru applications and best practices for navigating OEM service websites to improve diagnostic and repair efficiency.
More Viscosity. Less Space. Maximum Efficiency.
Castrol® ePODS™ allows shops to carry four viscosities in the same footprint of a 55-gallon drum. Each ePODS™ bottle is five gallons; by utilizing gravity-fed technology, using every drop has never been easier.
Tight on space? The dispenser rotates, allowing for maximum efficiency. Lastly, there are four pitchers that have built-in funnels which have a 2x faster flow rate compared to a standard hand pitcher. Ask your Worldpac Sales Representative about getting one, today!
