Abstract
A vehicular engine appliance ( 10 ), comprising: a viscometer ( 18 ), installed in the vehicular engine, for measuring viscosity of the vehicular engine oil ( 14 ); a connection between the viscometer ( 18 ) with oil of the oil, system of the vehicle, for enabling the viscometer to measure viscosity of the vehicular engine oil. ( 14 ); thereby metering vehicular oil ( 14 ) of said vehicle at work thereof, resulting in allowing preventing from the vehicular engine operation with non-suitable engine oil ( 14 ).
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A vehicular engine appliance ( 10 ), comprising:
a viscometer ( 18 ), installed in. said vehicular engine, for measuring viscosity of said vehicular engine oil ( 14 ); a connection between said viscometer ( 18 ) with oil of the oil system of said vehicle, for enabling said measurement;
thereby metering a vehicular oil ( 14 ) of said vehicle at work thereof,
resulting in allowing preventing from said vehicular engine operation with non-suitable engine oil ( 14 ).
2 . A vehicular engine appliance ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a thermometer ( 20 ) installed in said vehicular engine, for measuring the temperature of said oil ( 14 ),
thereby providing said viscosity of said oil ( 14 ) as a function of said temperature thereof.
3 . A vehicular engine appliance ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a pump ( 22 ), for pumping said oil ( 14 ) from an oil reservoir ( 30 ) of said vehicular engine into said viscometer ( 18 ), and for returning said oil ( 14 ).
4 . A vehicular engine appliance ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a processor ( 24 ), for comparing measurements of said oil ( 14 ) to expected data thereof, and for identifying oil quality.
5 . A method. for watching over a vehicular engine, said method comprising the steps of
turning on said engine; and measuring the viscosity of oil ( 14 ) contained in said vehicular engine,
thereby metering a vehicular oil ( 14 ) of said vehicle at work thereof,
resulting in allowing preventing from said vehicular engine operation with non-suitable engine oil ( 14 ).
6 . A method according to claim 5 , further comprising the step of:
turning off said engine, for cooling thereof, and measuring the viscosity of said oil ( 14 ),
thereby testing said oil ( 14 ) near classified standard temperatures thereof.
7 . A method according to claim 5 , further comprising the step of:
indicating quality of said oil ( 14 ).
8 . A method according to claim 1 , further comprising the step of:
identifying quality of said oil ( 14 ).Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
