Welcome to Snap-on Training Solutions®. This module is designed to help you get the most out of your APOLLO-D8™ diagnostic tool and covers the functions of the Quick Lookups menu. I’m Jim Moritz, Global Field Trainer, and Sales Support Representative.
OIL SPECS AND RESETS
Quick Lookups are an integrated Wi-Fi function that provides up-to-date OEM information on your diagnostic tool, via a wireless network connection to the Snap-on network over the internet.
Please note the following:
- Vehicle coverage for Quick Lookups is the same as the Scanner vehicle coverage
- Not all vehicles may have onboard diagnostic tool reset capabilities, or have information available
- To use the Quick Lookups feature you must have the current software upgrade installed on your diagnostic tool
- The diagnostic tool is equipped with the ability to connect to a Wi-Fi network. However, the connection is solely dedicated to the Snap-on network. Before you begin using an integrated Wi-Fi function, you must turn on the Wi-Fi and select the wireless network connection
- If you experience a wireless network connection loss, Quick Lookups information will not refresh or may cause the function to stop. To continue use, you must re-establish your Internet connection
- Performance may vary depending on your wireless network equipment and Internet Service Provider
To access the Quick Lookups, select “Quick Lookups” from the home screen.
Oil Specs and Resets allows you quick access to the following OEM information:
Fluid capacity and specifications,
Scanner functional resets, plus service reset procedures and information.
First, identify the vehicle. In our case, we chose a 2014 Dodge Challenger. Instructions and screens vary by vehicle.
Fluid Capacity displays OEM recommended fluid specifications and is the default screen.
Typical information may include:
- Vehicle engine information

Selecting Functional Reset opens the service interval reset menu (within the Scanner function) for the selected vehicle, and includes functional resets for the oil service indicator and other supported resets.
