AUTOMATIC GEAR OIL FILLING MACHINE FOR AUTOMOTIVE ENGINES: A REVIEW OF RECENT ADVANCES AND FUTURE PROSPECTS
Abstract
Automatic gear oil filling technology has evolved significantly in recent years, aiming to automate and optimize the precise filling of engine oil into the automotive engines. Different techniques exist to monitor, control and automate gear oil-filling machines for automotive engines, and some are also in their developmental stage. This review provides an overview of the current state of automatic gear oil filling technologies, including their types, benefits, and challenges. The study also highlights recent advancements and future directions in this field. The review began with the history of the gear oil filling technologies for automotive engines and how they evolved to their current form. The study combines both qualitative and quantitative research methods, leveraging a combination of research papers, articles, reports, patents, and technological developments related to gear oil filling technologies
