A controller for a vehicle that includes an internal combustion includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry obtains a predicted temperature outside the vehicle and estimates the viscosity of a lubricating oil based on the oil pressure and the oil temperature of the lubricating oil when the internal combustion engine satisfies a specific operation condition. When the processing circuitry determines that there is a likelihood of a cranking failure occurring in the internal combustion engine on condition that the predicted temperature is less than a threshold value that is based on the viscosity, the processing circuitry outputs a notification signal indicating that that there is a likelihood of a cranking failure occurring in the internal combustion engine.

This disclosure generally relates to an oil mitigation system and method for lubricating the piston(s) for electronic fuel injected internal combustion engines, incorporating cylinder deactivation technology. This concept leverages the engine's base fuel injection pulse width table, determines the fuel injection “shutoff” state and, reduces the oiling to counter the reverse oil flow effect within the cylinder wall, past the ring set to the cylinder combustion chamber. This disclosure further comprises a system and method for mitigating oil consumption to all active cylinders, for accommodating all ranges of engine loading.

Lubricant dilution detection systems and methods are disclosed. A method for detecting lubricant dilution for a lubrication system includes detecting a shutdown event of the lubrication system. The method includes measuring lubricant pressure during the shutdown event. The method further includes determining lubricant dilution based on the measured lubricant pressure during the shutdown event. In accordance with a determination that there is lubricant dilution, the method includes outputting an indication of the lubricant dilution.
