Automatic lubrication (also called autolube or auto-lube) refers to a lubrication system where 2 stroke oil is automatically mixed with fuel and manual pre-mixing of fuel and 2 stroke oil is not needed. Occasional filling up of the 2 stroke oil reservoir is needed. This system is popular with the users of 2 stroke engine, specially motorcycles as it eliminates the inconvenience and messiness of pre-mixing fuel and 2 stroke oil. Vespa Sprint is an example where pre-mixing of 2 stroke oil is required. Automatic lubrication was introduced for motorcycles by Velocette in 1913. An example of application of automatic lubrication system is Suzuki AX100 motorcycle. The motorcycle has a separate oil reservoir on its right side which supplies the cylinder with 2 stroke oil proportional to acceleration. == Advantages of autolube == #Consistent lubrication and oil consumption is reduced greatly #More effective lubrication results because the oil enters the engine in larger size droplets #There is much less unwanted carbon deposited on the spark plugs, cylinder heads, pistons and exhaust system. #There is much less exhaust smoke #Refueling is simplified 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Automatic lubrication」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
