Controller, vehicle, storage medium, and operation method of controller
A controller includes: a control unit configured to detect, based on information from a sensor mounted on a vehicle, a first event indicating that engine oil is discharged from an engine of the vehicle, or a second event indicating that the engine is replenished with engine oil; and a storage unit configured to store the result of detection by the control unit as a history of oil change.
Method And Device For Determining The Engine Oil Quality Of An Internal Combustion Engine
The disclosure provides a method and a device for determining the engine oil quality of an internal combustion engine. The engine oil quality is determined by evaluation of the switching times of an oil pressure switch of the internal combustion engine after a starting operation of the internal combustion engine.
CONTROLLER, VEHICLE, STORAGE MEDIUM, AND OPERATION METHOD OF CONTROLLER
A controller includes: a control unit configured to detect, based on information from a sensor mounted on a vehicle, a first event indicating that engine oil is discharged from an engine of the vehicle, or a second event indicating that the engine is replenished with engine oil; and a storage unit configured to store the result of detection by the control unit as a history of oil change.
Vehicle liquid monitoring system and method
A vehicle liquid testing system includes a liquid testing apparatus with a form factor of a dipstick. The system includes a sensor that detects a property of a fluid in a vehicle and emits a signal indicative of the property. A transmitter receives the signal from the sensor and transmits the signal. A controller receives the signal from the transmitter and compares the signal from the sensor to a threshold level to determine a condition of the fluid.
