Automatic transmission oil aging counter
Definition:
An automatic transmission oil aging meter is a system installed in a vehicle that monitors the condition of the oil in an automatic transmission (automatic transmission). It determines when the oil needs to be changed based on oil temperature, mileage and other factors.
How does this work:
The automatic transmission oil aging meter usually uses a temperature sensor and a mileage meter. The temperature sensor measures the temperature of the transmission oil, and the odometer records the total number of kilometers traveled.
This data is used to calculate the remaining oil life. The algorithm used for this calculation takes into account factors such as:
* Temperature history of oil
*Mileage
* Number of engine starts and stops
* Driving style
When the oil’s design life has expired, the automatic transmission oil aging meter will illuminate a warning light on the instrument panel, indicating that the oil needs to be changed.
Advantages:
* Optimized oil change: The automatic transmission oil aging counter helps you change the oil at the right time. This prevents both premature oil changes and operation of automatic transmissions with used oil.
* Improved Performance: Regular automatic transmission oil changes help reduce friction and wear, improving transmission performance and longevity.
*Save Money: Changing your automatic transmission oil at the right time can extend the life of your transmission and save you money on costly repairs.
*Environmental protection: Delayed oil changes may cause environmental pollution. An automatic transmission oil aging counter helps prevent this by ensuring timely disposal of used oil.
Please note:
* Not all cars have an automatic transmission oil aging counter.
* Oil change intervals indicated by the meter may vary depending on the specific vehicle and the type of automatic transmission oil used.
