Small diagnostic devices incorporated into standard engine parts are being produced by engine manufacturers to help equipment owners with their maintenance routines. One example is a replacement oil filler cap with telematics capabilities that monitors the engine and sends data directly to a free app on a smartphone. This information includes total running hours, current vehicle location, reminders of required maintenance, help with completing the work, a service log and access to a constantly updated parts books and operation/maintenance manuals.
