Abstract
A method for determining a consumption amount of an engine oil of a vehicle includes starting, by a controller, an engine of the vehicle; and extracting and determining, by the controller, a consumption amount of the engine oil of the vehicle per unit time from a memory storing the consumption amount of the engine oil per unit time, in response to a speed of the started engine and an intake air pressure of the started engine.
Claims10
A method for determining a consumption amount of an engine oil of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- starting, by a controller, an engine of the vehicle;
- extracting and determining, by the controller, the consumption amount of the engine oil of the vehicle per unit time from a non-transitory computer readable storage storing the consumption amount of the engine oil per unit time, in response to a speed of the started engine and an intake air pressure of the started engine;
- and
- correcting, by the controller, the determined consumption amount of the engine oil of the vehicle, based on a correction value according to the intake air pressure of the engine upon coasting drive of the vehicle, the correction value stored in the non-transitory computer readable storage.
An apparatus for determining a consumption amount of an engine oil of a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable storage storing the consumption amount of the engine oil per unit time;
- and
- a controller electrically connected to the non-transitory computer readable storage and configured to start an engine of the vehicle,
- wherein the controller is further configured to extract and determine the consumption amount of the engine oil of the vehicle per unit time from the non-transitory computer readable storage in response to a speed of the started engine and an intake air pressure of the started engine, and
- wherein the controller is further configured to correct the determined consumption amount of the engine oil of the vehicle, based on a correction value according to the intake air pressure of the engine upon coasting drive of the vehicle, the correction value stored in the non-transitory computer readable storage.
