IntelliStick™ Makes Real-time Engine Oil Condition Sensor
Available for the Commercial Trucking Industry
NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA – IntelliStick, Inc. announces the launch of its IntelliStick™ patented dipstick replacement sensor technology for the commercial trucking industry. Intellistick allows both independent and fleet operators to monitor the condition of their truck’s engine oil in real time, virtually eliminating the turnaround time required for traditional laboratory oil analysis.
Winner of the Popular Mechanics Magazine “Editor’s Choice Award” during the 2007 SEMA Show, the IntelliStick system was developed in conjunction with the U.S. military for the diesel Humvee® by Professor Robert Kauffman at the University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI). This innovative system monitors oil condition by measuring the additive conditions and oxidation/acid build-up in the oil, while continuously scanning for water/coolant and fuel intrusions.
The dipstick sensor communicates with any Microsoft® Windows®-based Bluetooth®-enabled PDA, cell phone or laptop resulting in an easy to read graphic called the “Kauffman Curve”. Independent operators and fleet service technicians will now be able to minimize downtime and costs spent on premature or unnecessary oil changes, while increasing awareness of their equipment condition.
“Rather than changing oil on best-guess mileage and time intervals, or relying on off-site, untimely laboratory analysis, the IntelliStick sensor directly measures the actual, real-time condition of engine oil to allow owner/operators to know the absolute best time for a change,” explains Kauffman. “This is the first time that operators can get a continually updated, laboratory-grade picture of the actual state of their engine oil.”
IntelliStick is the first product designed for the general public, incorporating this pioneering technology into a simple-to-install package. As a result, end-users from novice to expert can realize improved performance, greater fuel economy and potential lower maintenance costs for the life of their vehicles.
The IntelliStick is compatible with most gasoline- and diesel-engines. Check out the IntelliStick display January 21-24, booth 126, during HDAW08 at the Mirage Events Center in Las Vegas. For additional information, call (888) 812-5988 or visit www.intellistick.com.
