Devices, systems, and methods, for integrating of a fluid service assembly into a machine

A fluid filter of a machine, comprising:

• a housing;
• and
• a fluid service assembly integrated within the housing, wherein the fluid service assembly comprises:
• a first port configured for fluidic communication with a fluid component configured to generate a fluidic pressure;
• a second port fluidically coupled to a reservoir of the machine;
• and
• a valve assembly configured to transition between a first position and a second position in response to the fluidic pressure generated by the fluid component, wherein, in the first position, a first fluid path between the first port and a filter positioned within the housing is open and a second fluid path between the reservoir and the second port is closed, and wherein in the second position, the first fluid path between the first port and the filter positioned within the housing is closed and the second fluid path between the reservoir and the second port is open.

A method of integrating a fluid service assembly into a machine, the method comprising:

• providing a filter housing of the machine;
• defining a first port in the filter housing of the machine;
• defining a first fluid path between the first port and a filter positioned within the filter housing;
• defining a second port in the filter housing of the machine;
• defining a second fluid path between the second port and a reservoir of the machine;
• installing a valve assembly within the filter housing, wherein, in a first position, the valve assembly opens the first fluid path and closes the second fluid path, and, wherein, in a second position, the valve assembly closes the first fluid path and opens the second fluid path.

A method of performing a fluid service on a machine via an integral a fluid service assembly of the machine, the method comprising:

• receiving a positive fluid pressure via a first port of a fluid service assembly integral to a machine;
• opening, via a valve assembly of the fluid service assembly, a fluid path between the first port and a filter of the machine in response to the positive fluid pressure generated by a fluid component fluidically coupled to the first port;
• performing a positive pressure fluid service on the machine via the positive fluid pressure;
• receiving a negative fluid pressure via a second port of the fluid service assembly integral to the machine;
• opening a fluid path between the second port and a reservoir of the machine in response to the negative fluid pressure generated by the first fluid component fluidically coupled to the first port;
• and
• performing a negative pressure fluid service on the machine via the negative fluid pressure.
