Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for a lubricant detection device. In one example, a system comprises one or more sensors arranged in an oil flow path for detecting if a particle is in an oil flow. Engine operating parameters are adjusted in response to sensing the particle, wherein the engine operating parameter adjustments are different in response to only a first sensor detecting the particle or to both the first sensor and a second sensor detecting the particle.
