Abstract
A module (13a) for the lubricating oil circuit of an internal combustion engine or some other type of working machine is proposed, which comprises at least an oil supply (14) that can be exchanged or replaced together with the unit (13a). Valves (24) prevent oil from flowing out of the unit during the exchange. This enables a reliable oil change to be achieved. The module can be equipped with additional functional elements such as a filter element (23), an oil pump (26), a supplemental centrifuge (29), an additive reservoir (31) and/or various sensors (S1, S2).
