Abstract
A system for tracking oil health of an engine includes an electronic fuel injection system which includes an electronic governor control unit. The electronic governor control unit is programmed to track engine parameters, calculate oil health based on the tracked engine parameters and on engine type, and display an indication of oil health.
Claims23
A system for tracking oil health for oil of an engine comprising:
- an electronic fuel injection system of the engine, the electronic fuel injection system including an electronic governor control unit configured to:
- track engine parameters and determine a plurality of factors based on the tracked engine parameters;
- multiply the plurality of factors to determine a buffer value;
- average the buffer value over a run session of the engine;
- determine a number of starts per hour and multiply the number of starts per hour by the averaged buffer value to calculate oil health;
- and
- display an indication of the oil health.
