ABSTRACT:
A method and device for changing oil and measuring oil consumption in an internal combustion engine having an internal oil lubrication distribution passage system with an oil filter and oil reservoir which includes the steps of connecting an external, separable apparatus to the internal oil lubrication distribution system at a first point upstream of the oil filter and at a second point in fluid communication with the oil reservoir; removing spent oil from the oil reservoir and measuring the amount removed; introducing a measured amount of fresh oil appropriate for the internal combustion engine into the oil reservoir; and calculating the difference between the amount of fresh oil introduced to and the spent oil removed from the oil reservoir. The device for facilitating oil introduction includes a bracket having an outer housing having an oil filter mounting face, an engine wall-engaging face and an intermediate outer wall portion disposed therebetween. The bracket has suitable oil passages within it for conveying oil to and from the oil filter unit and has a quick connect nipple in fluid communication with the oil passage. The device also includes an external pump device in fluid communication with the oil passage through a mating quick connect member located on the pump device.
