METHOD AND DEVICE FOR AUTOMATICALLY MEASURING OIL CONSUMPTION OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE AND FOR CHANGING THE OIL OF SAID ENGINE

摘要

The invention concerns a method for measuring the amount of oil consumed by an internal combustion engine comprising an oil pan (7) for supplying same with lubricating fluid, characterized in that it includes the following steps: a) causing the gravitational flow of the oil (8) contained in the engine oil pan, from said oil pan towards a measuring tank; b) measuring and storing a first value of the oil volume contained in the measuring tank; c) subjecting the oil contained in the measuring tank to a pressurized gas thrust causing the rise of the oil from the measuring tank (17) towards the oil pan (7); repeating the preceding steps at least once so as to obtain a second value of the oil volume contained in the tank.
