Abstract
A lubrication system in a machine includes a sump to collect a bulk portion of lubricant and a pump adapted to circulate the lubricant from the sump through a lubricant line to an area of the machine for lubrication. The lubrication system also includes an oil filter disposed along the lubrication line adapted to filer the lubricant flowing through the lubricant line. The lubrication further includes an additive fixture in fluid flow communication with the oil filter adapted to house at least one additive material section and distribute the additive material in a lubrication flow circulation.
