What is proposed is an oil container which is suitable for use in optimizing the oil balance of an internal combustion engine or a transmission, particularly an automatic transmission, and which has low weight and can be produced in such a way that adverse effects with respect to the reliability of the overall system are virtually excluded, and a process for producing same. To this end, the oil container is to be designed in such a way that the volume flow capable of entering the oil container through said at least one inlet opening (8) is invariably greater than the volume flow capable of discharging through said at least one outlet opening (12), said oil container being constituted of multiple components using at least two plastic housing components (1, 2, 3), at least two of said plastic housing components being joined to each other by laser welding.

The invention claimed is: 1. A container for receiving and discharging an automotive fluid, comprising: a housing defining a storage chamber and comprising at least two plastic housing components, the at least two plastic housing components are joined together by laser welding; at least one inlet opening in the housing further comprising a closure covering the at least one inlet, and wherein the closure releases the at least one inlet opening when a predetermined temperature of the automotive fluid is exceeded; and at least one outlet opening on the housing, wherein a cross-section of said at least one inlet opening is greater than a cross-section of said at least one outlet opening, and wherein, during use of the container, there is a net rate of flow into the storage chamber. 2. The container of claim 1, wherein one of the at least two plastic housing components is made of a non-pigmented fiberglass-reinforced polyamide. 3. The container according to claim 1, wherein one of the at least two plastic housing components is made of a carbon black-pigmented fiberglass-reinforced polyamide. 4. The container according to claim 1, wherein one of the at least two plastic housing components has a fiberglass amount of at least about 10% wt. 5. The container according to claim 1, wherein one of the at least two plastic housing components has a fiberglass amount of the at least about 20% wt. 6. The container according to claim 1, wherein one of the at least two plastic housing components has a fiberglass amount of at least about 30% wt. 7. The container according to claim 1, wherein a first one of the at least two plastic housing components comprises a greater content of reinforcing fibers than a second one of the at least two plastic housing components. 8. The container according to claim 1, wherein one of the at least two plastic housing components comprises an amount of mineral filler that is at least about 15% wt. 9. The container according to claim 8, wherein the amount of mineral filler is at least about 20% wt. 10. The container according to claim 1, wherein a volume capacity of the container is at least about 300 ml. 11. The container according to claim 1, wherein a volume capacity of the container is at least about 330 ml. 12. The container according to claim 1, wherein a complete filling of the container with water discharges, within a time period of at least about 210 seconds, but not greater than 240 seconds, from the container, when said container is in an operating position. 13. The container according to claim 12, wherein the time period ranges from about 220 seconds to about 230 seconds. 14. The container according to claim 1, wherein said at least one inlet opening is surrounded by a collecting tray. 15. The container according to claim 14, further comprising ramps having upper edges that are about 4.3 mm above the at least one inlet opening, and wherein the collecting tray has a depth of at least about 1.6 mm and is confined by said ramps in at least two directions. 16. The container according to claim 14, wherein the collecting tray has a width of at least about 55 mm. 17. The container according to claim 1, wherein the cross-section of said at least one inlet opening is at least about 10% wider than the cross-section of said at least one outlet opening. 18. The container according to claim 1, wherein the cross-section of the at least one inlet opening is at least 170 mmZ. 19. The container according to claim 1, wherein said at least one outlet opening is a plurality of outlet openings and a cross-section of the plurality outlet openings summed together is not more than 3 mm2. 20. The container according to claim 1, wherein a cross-section ratio of said at least one outlet opening and at least one inlet opening is at least 1:10. 21. The container according to claim 1, wherein the closure is a bimetallic closure. 22. The container according to claim 21, wherein the bimetallic closure is arranged with the collecting tray. 23. The container according to claim 1, wherein the housing comprises at least three plastic housing components joined to each other by laser welding, and wherein at least two of the at least three plastic housing components are at least one of non-pigmented and colored so as to be laser light-permeable. 24. A container for receiving and discharging an automotive fluid, comprising: means for receiving an automotive fluid; means for storing the automotive fluid received from the receiving means; means for discharging the automotive fluid stored in the storing means, wherein a net rate of flow into the receiving means is greater than a net rate of flow from the discharging means; and means for covering the receiving means, wherein the means for covering releases the receiving means when a predetermined temperature of the automotive fluid is exceeded.
