ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for automatically replenishing additives lost from the lubricating oil of an IC engine, by injecting controlled quantities of the additive into the oil. The amount and frequency of injection is controlled by either the operating conditions of the oil (e.g. its thermal history), or changes the properties of the oil (e.g. its electrochemical activity, or dielectric constant).
