What is IntelliStick?
IntelliStick is a patented dipstick replacement sensor technology that monitors the quality of motor oil in real time. It has been designed to electronically monitor the anti-wear package in engine oil as well as to continuously scan for water, coolant, or fuel intrusions. The sensor communicates to a Windows software/Bluetooth capable PDA, Smart Phone, or laptop to display oil quality status.
It features an onboard sensor that truly monitors the quality of your engine oil and indicates the best time for an oil change. IntelliStick delivers real time 24-hour oil quality monitoring and puts an end to the guessing game of when to change your oil.
Why Is IntelliStick the Best Solution?
Fleet managers of large cross-country trucking firms routinely send samples of oil to test labs where it is analyzed after certain periods of use to attempt to determine the best intervals for oil change. This technology is called interval-based maintenance. Other more recent technologies apply an algorithm to determine the interval in which to change the oil. Automakers and engine manufacturers have developed their “best guess” analysis (algorithms) based on such factors as mileage, time, heat and so on. The trouble with relying upon these computer-based guesses is that they don’t actually monitor the quality of the oil.
The many types of engines, brands of oil, differing driving conditions, changes in weather, aging of vehicles, and other factors demand a better analysis than guessing with algorithms. There is a better method than interval-based maintenance. IntelliStick now offers “Condition-Based” maintenance. Imagine taking the guess work out of your oil change intervals. You now have an onboard, real time oil quality sensor monitoring the actual quality of the oil. IntelliStick also detects coolant/water and fuel leaks into the engine oil. IntelliStick works with all oil types and both diesel and gasoline engines.
IntelliStick Benefits:
• Performs laboratory grade oil analysis 24/7
• Eliminates changing oil too early, which wastes money
• Eliminates changing oil too late, which causes a decrease in fuel efficiency and engine wear
• Communicates easily to your Smart Phone, PDA, or laptop
• Increases equipment lifecycle and decreases equipment downtime
• Provides peace of mind – detection of coolant or fuel intrusion can save your engine
• Saves time and money by reducing or eliminating your need for laboratory oil analysis
• Installs easily or a technician can install the units for you (fees may apply)
• Takes the guess work out of oil changes
• Helps eliminate costly equipment overhauls due to motor oil contamination
• Optimizes schedule for oil changes
• Works with gasoline and diesel engines
• Works with all oil types and brands
