Abstract
Oil flow from an air compressor is directed to a nozzle within or near the entrance of an intake manifold of an engine. Air is directed to the nozzle from a pressure regulator associated with the air compressor. The air is used to atomize the liquid lubricant and create a fine mist that is injected into the air intake manifold and evenly distribute the lubricant to the cylinders of the engine.
