IN THE BEGINNINGS OF AUTOMOTIVE TRANSPORTATION (more than a century ago), engines were noisy and unreliable. Starting an engine, when using a hand crank, could possibly generate a broken arm for the person doing the cranking, once the engine started cycling on its own. Engine lubrication was primitive. Engine oil and other lubricants in a vehicle needed to be changed or refreshed at exceedingly short intervals, in comparison to today's change intervals [1]. A vehicle owner (or someone he hired to take care of the lubrication) could be performing some lubrication function on a daily basis [1]. However, in some cases engines were so unreliable that they wouldn't run, or the engines consumed so much oil that make-up oil kept the oil fresh. On the other hand, if the oil level got too low, engine failure occurred.
