An automatic lubrication system for lubricating an object is provided, which includes a lubricant container configured to contain a lubricant and including a rotatable shaft with a piston to dispense the lubricant from an output of the lubricant container, a housing with a coupling section coupled with the lubricant container, an electric motor configured to drive the rotatable shaft of the lubricant container during at least one lubrication action, such that at least a part of the lubricant is dispensable from the lubricant container during the at least one lubrication action, at least one capacitive sensor including at least one electrode, wherein the at least one capacitive sensor is arranged at a wall of the lubricant container and configured to provide at least one sensor signal indicative of a capacitance in a vicinity of the at least one electrode, and a control circuitry configured to determine, based on the at least one sensor signal of the at least one capacitive sensor, at least one lubrication parameter indicative of the at least one lubrication action.
