Claim:
An automotive fluid reservoir for storing and dispensing automotive fluids, such as motor oil and transmission fluid, into the engine and transmission of a vehicle, the automotive fluid reservoir comprising: a housing having a top side, a bottom side, a pair of end walls, a first side wall, and a second side wall; at least one compartment formed in the housing, each compartment fluidly separate from any other compartment; a fluid receiving aperture formed in the top side of the housing directly over each compartment for receiving fluid from an appropriate fluid container; at least one fluid output aperture formed in one of the side walls of the housing, each fluid output aperture fluidly connected to at least one of the compartments; a length of tubing is connected to each of the fluid output apertures, each tubing extending from the appropriate fluid output aperture to the standard fluid reservoir within the vehicle; a manual switch for manually dispensing the fluids from each compartment into the standard fluid reservoir in the vehicle; and a sensor operating in conjunction with a vehicle computer such that when a fluid level is below normal, the sensor indicates this and then, overriding the manual switch, automatically disburses the appropriate fluid from the appropriate compartment in the housing.
