works on the "little and often" principle. While the vehicle is being driven it sits dormant. But whenever the ignition is turned off for longer than 30 minutes the sensor plumbed into the sump takes an accurate reading of the sump level the next time it is switched on.
If that level has dropped below the parameter set by the sensor the system injects half a litre of oil from the reservoir via the rocker cover feed.
The duration and quantity parameters can be changed to suit larger engines with longer drain downtimes. All the operator has to do is keep the reservoir topped up.
