Some vehicles come equipped with an automatic lubricator. This is a small device with a meter on the right side, representing oil level of the drivetrain bearings that the automatic lubricator is servicing.

When the vehicle is in motion, it will consume that oil. However, the automatic lubricator will automatically replenish it from the onboard storage, shown on the left meter.

If the vehicle has been parked and the bearings have run dry, it must be manually primed by turning the automatic lubricator's crank until full, before the vehicle is set in motion again.
