    Abstract: A calibrated engine lubricant dispenser has a lubricant reservoir, which houses the engine lubricant where the lubricant is stored for dispensing. An existing engine fuel container is aligned with the dispenser. When the user activates the dispensing, a calibrated amount of engine lubricant is dispensed from the reservoir into the engine fuel container. The engine lubricant mixes with the engine fuel in the engine fuel container so that the proper proportion of engine lubricant versus engine fuel is obtained in the engine fuel container.
