Title: A method and system for determining an oil change interval
Inventor: Robert andrew wade
IPC: F01M11/10
Filed: 2018-02-15
Abstract: A method and system 400 for determining an oil change interval for a motor vehicle determines the oil quality 406 within the oil system (2 Fig. 2) as a function of the vehicle engine torque, and then determines 408 if an oil change interval has been reached. The oil quality may also be determined as a function of oil temperature, a ratio of engine torque to peak engine torque, a concentration of an additive within the oil, a distance travelled or operating hours of the vehicle 402, 404 or as a function of the number of revolutions of the engine. In all cases, a user may be alerted when the oil change interval is reached. The system has a controller 410 which has one or more modules, together known as ‘an oil-life monitor’ (200 Fig 2), which together determine the oil quality and determine if the oil change interval has been reached, and may provide alerts to a user. The system may also alert the user if the oil quantity within the engine (1 Fig. 2) is below a threshold quantity. The arrangement improves the accuracy of oil-life prediction by use of the oil-life monitor, leading to reduced maintenance costs and environmental impact.
