INTELLISTICK



LISTEN UP YOU DIPSTICKS!
THE IMPORTANCE OF OIL CONDITION MONITORING.

The IntelliStick is a compact dipstick replacement device
which electronically monitors multiple conditions of engine oil
and continuously scans for water/coolant and fuel intrusions.
Real-time oil condition data can be easily uploaded via a
Bluetooth® wireless device such as a PDA, smart phone
or laptop using Microsoft ® Windows ®.
Early detection of these conditions can lead to improved performance,
greater fuel economy and contribute to longer engine life.



THE INTELLISTICK ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR CONVENTIONAL
OIL CHANGE INTERVALS AND TIME-CONSUMING
OIL LAB ANALYSIS

Automotive
Using interval-based maintenance is decidedly low-tech.
What you don't know about the condition of your oil can
put your auto investment at risk.
Changing your oil too soon can be expensive and wasteful;
too late can create problems and lead to decreased
fuel economy and engine wear.
IntelliStick reports wirelessly to your Windows-based PDA,
cell phone or laptop. It measures and reports actual
on-board oil condition in real time.
Superior to a guesswork estimate based on arbitrary mileage averages,
you know when the oil additive package has been depleted and the oil
is reaching its limit for engine protection.
IntelliStick can help you get maximum mileage
and performance from your motor oil.

Truck
Whether operating a fleet of one or fleet of one hundred or more,
success in the commercial trucking business is defined by keeping trucks on the road.
Pulling oil samples and waiting for lab test results is costly and time consuming,
yet it has been necessary and the only means to understand oil condition to date.
IntelliStick can help you optimize your maintenance schedules and minimize
downtime with condition-based oil condition monitoring.
IntelliStick provides vital information to help reduce maintenance costs
and keep your fleet operating smoothly.




THE INTELLIGENCE BEHIND INTELLISTICK

To provide continuous, real-world monitoring, the IntelliStick uses
a simple, patented conductivity test that applies low voltage with slow
varying waveforms across two sensor arrays.
The system measures changes in the electrochemical current flow
caused by additive package depletion and impurities that accumulate
over time in engine oil.
As more additives are depleted, most notably antioxidants and detergents,
the oil's conductivity is compromised, which leads to a corresponding
reduction in the IntelliStick sensor reading.
In order to simplify this phenomenon in graphical terms,
Kauffman used U.S. military tests on thousands of hours with
Humvee® engines to develop the "Kauffman Curve".
The Kauffman Curve shows the direct correlation between
oil additive depletion and useful oil life.
The Kauffman Curve forms the basis of the information that
is sent wirelessly from the in-car IntelliStick sensor to the
user's Bluetooth-enabled PDA, cell phone or laptop.


OIL CHANGE


This is a typical Kauffman Curve shown with oil changes
over the course of several months.
On the third oil change you can see a visibly lower
conductance likely meaning not all previous oil was
drained or a lesser quality oil was used in the vehicle.



Looking specifically at water intrusion:



By immediately sensing water intrusion, the IntelliStick
provides operators critical information to save an engine
from major overhaul, reducing the overall maintenance costs.


Comparison of oil brands:



Using IntelliStick you can see what oil performs best for your operations.
One comparison from field trials shows a change in oil brands.
As you can see, the additives in oil "A" show a higher quality
than those in oil "B", potentially resulting in longer oil life,
extended change intervals, and longer engine life.
