Abstract: A method of transferring fluid in a motor system includes containing a first volume of fluid in a reservoir of a fluid container that is in fluid communication with a fluid receptacle of a motor and containing a second volume of fluid in the fluid receptacle. A first quantity of fluid is transferred from the fluid receptacle to the reservoir of the replaceable fluid container so as to mix the first quantity of fluid from the fluid receptacle with the volume of fluid in the reservoir of the replaceable fluid container A second quantity of fluid is transferred from the reservoir back to the fluid receptacle.

Abstract: An agricultural machine, comprising is disclosed, wherein the machine comprises a body frame; a cutting system mounted on the body frame; a drive system mounted on the body frame; a power unit, mounted on the body frame, adapted to provide power to the drive system and/or the cutting system; and a fluid distribution system adapted to provide fluid to the power unit. The fluid distribution system further comprises a dock and a replaceable fluid container adapted to contain fluid to be supplied to the power unit the dock being adapted to retain the replaceable fluid container in fluid communication with the fluid distribution system so as to supply fluid from the replaceable fluid container via the fluid distribution system to the power unit. A method of facilitating an oil change in an agricultural machine is also disclosed.

Abstract: An apparatus configured to control fluid distribution in a fluid circulation system. The fluid circulation system is coupled to a fluid container that includes a fluid supply port configured to couple to a fluid supply line of the fluid circulation system, a fluid return port configured to couple to a fluid return line of the fluid circulation system, and a breather port. The apparatus is configured to cause fluid to flow into the fluid container from the fluid circulation system while inhibiting outflow of the fluid from the replaceable fluid container into the fluid circulation system, so as to collect the fluid in the replaceable fluid container, and to cause a gas to flow from the replaceable fluid container through the breather port while inhibiting outflow of the fluid from the replaceable fluid container into the fluid circulation system.
