Abstract
To monitor lubrication maintenance of an automotive vehicle a signal is generated by a sensor that is indicative of exposure of a lubrication system access port through which automotive lubricant is accessed. Performance of a lubrication maintenance operation is determined from the signal and lubrication maintenance information is transmitted externally to the vehicle, where the lubrication maintenance information includes an indication of the performance of the lubrication maintenance operation.
