Abstract

This embodiment is for diverting a portion of oil away from the primary lubrication system of an internal combustion engine to a secondary device while maintaining full oil pressure for another secondary device. The oil diverter provides restricted out going only oil flow to a device requiring oil flow back to the engine. The devices out going only anti flow back valve allows the secondary oil use device to maintain its oil level when oil pressure stops. The system includes the oil return device with the purpose to send the diverted oil back to the primary lubrication system after use by the secondary oil use device or devices. The oil return contains a reservoir that facilitates the capture of sample oil during the operation of the engine.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus for diverting engine oil from an internal combustion engine of a vehicle having an engine block and internal oil lubrication system, the apparatus comprising:
 means for diverting a portion of engine oil to one or more out flowing ports while at the same time restricting out flowing oil from one of those ports in out flowing direction only.   
     
     
         2 . An apparatus for returning engine oil from said internal combustion engine of a vehicle having an engine block and internal oil lubrication system after said engine oil has been used by a conventional secondary oil device or multiple devices, the apparatus comprising:
 means for attachment of oil return device to engine   means for attachment of twist retainer device to engine   means for attachment of oil return and twist retainer devices to each other and as a unit to the engine   means for collection of sample oil during normal engine operation   means for returning said portion of engine oil back to said internal oil lubrication system after use by one or multiple conventional secondary oil devices.
