<p>This invention relates to a device for automatically keeping lubricating oil to level in internal combustion engine oil pans, which device comprises a tubular stick (1) effective to be inserted into the engine oil pan (4) of an internal combustion engine and positioned with its bottom port substantially at the level to be maintained for the oil in the pan with the engine in operation. The cited tubular stick (1) is connected, externally to said engine, to the middle leg (9) of a branching off fitting (10) which has a first leg (11) connected to a first line (12) and open to the bottom of an auxiliary oil reservoir (20), and a second leg (14) connected to a second line (15) open to the top of said auxiliary reservoir (20). The cited auxiliary reservoir (20) is a sealed one and located at a higher level than the engine oil level to be maintained within said oil pan (4).</p> |
