Abstract
An oil change system. The oil change system includes a plurality of fluid systems and a control circuit. Each of the fluid systems is couplable to a quick fit valve of a vehicle. The control circuit is coupled to the plurality of fluid systems, comprises a processing circuit, and is configured to control delivery of a predetermined volume of a fluid to the quick fit valve of the vehicle.
Claims16
A system, comprising:
- a plurality of different vehicle servicing systems, wherein each of the different vehicle servicing systems is configured to service a vehicle, and wherein the plurality of different vehicle servicing systems comprises at least one of an oil change system, a purge system, an evacuation system, a refill system, and a filter cleansing system, or combinations thereof;
- and
- a control circuit coupled to the plurality of different vehicle servicing systems, wherein the control circuit is configured to:
- autonomously identify information associated with the vehicle;
- and
- autonomously control at least one vehicle servicing system of the plurality of vehicle servicing systems to service the vehicle, wherein service of the vehicle is based on the autonomously identified information.
3 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a sensor configured to generate a signal associated with a vehicle;
- and
- a control circuit communicatively coupled to the sensor, wherein the control circuit is configured to:
- receive the signal associated with the vehicle from the sensor;
- autonomously identify information associated with the vehicle based on the signal;
- and
- autonomously initiate service of the vehicle based on the autonomously identified information;
- and
- a plurality of different vehicle servicing systems communicatively coupled to the control circuit, and wherein the service is performed by at least one vehicle servicing system of the plurality of different vehicle servicing systems, wherein the plurality of different vehicle servicing systems comprises at least one of an oil change system, a purge system, an evacuation system, a refill system, and a filter cleansing system, or combinations thereof.
6 more elements
A computer implemented method of servicing a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving, via a control circuit, a signal associated with a vehicle;
- autonomously identifying, via the control circuit, information associated with the vehicle based on the signal;
- and
- autonomously initiating, via the control circuit, service of the vehicle based on the autonomously identified information, wherein autonomously initiating service of the vehicle comprises causing, via the control circuit, at least one vehicle servicing system of a plurality of different vehicle servicing systems communicatively coupled to the control circuit to service the vehicle, wherein the plurality of different vehicle servicing systems comprises at least one of an oil change system, a purge system, an evacuation system, a refill system, and a filter cleansing system, or combinations thereof.
