ABSTRACT:
A system for automatically controlling lubricating fluid flow in an internal combustion engine having an engine bearing lubricating system, an intake oiling system and a pair of lubricating fluid reservoirs for carrying separate lubricating fluid for delivery to the engine bearing and intake oiling systems is provided. In response to the fluid level in one of the reservoirs being delivered to the intake oil system being at a predetermined low level, the controller swaps reservoirs and delivers fluid flow from the other reservoir to the intake oiling system. The controller commands filling of the low level reservoir prior to delivery of lubricating fluid from this reservoir to the engine bearing lubricating system. The system eliminates the need for lubricating fluid changes.
