    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring the negative impact of a filtration system on the fuel economy of an internal combustion engine. A filter monitoring controller receives engine operating parameters of the internal combustion engine. The filter monitoring controller determines an amount of power generated by the internal combustion engine based at least in part on the engine operating parameters. The filter monitoring controller determines a filter hydraulic power consumption of a filtration system providing a fluid to the internal combustion engine. The filter monitoring controller determines a fuel economy impact of the filtration system on the internal combustion engine based at least in part on the filter hydraulic power consumption of the filtration system. The filter monitoring controller compares the fuel economy impact of the filtration system to a threshold fuel economy impact to determine whether a filter element of the filtration system requires servicing.

    Abstract: A fluid delivery system for an internal combustion engine and a method of monitoring the fluid delivery system are described. The systems and methods monitor and determine various fluid quality parameters and filter element pressure drop, which can be used to determine real-time estimates of remaining useful life for both the filter element and the fluid. The respective remaining useful life calculations are used by the described systems and methods to determine change intervals for the fluid and the filter element. The change intervals can be synchronized by the systems and methods to reduce the amount of down time due to servicing of the fluid delivery system.
