摘要:
Provided is a method for detecting a condition of engine oil that allows the progress of degradation of engine oil to be more accurately determined without incurring any significant cost. In a method for detecting a state of engine oil by defining a degradation index that changes with a progress in degradation of the engine oil that lubricates an internal combustion engine and determining a progress of the degradation of the engine oil according to the degradation index, a value related to a concentration of blow-by gas that flows into a crankcase of the engine is computed, and the degradation index is computed according to the computed value related to a concentration of blow-by gas that flows into a crankcase of the engine. The degradation index may consist of a total base number of the engine oil, and the concentration of blow-by gas that flows into a crankcase of the engine may consist of a NOx concentration.
摘要:
To provide an engine oil degradation-estimating device and a device for estimating antioxidant performance of engine oil which are capable of determining degradation and an antioxidant performance of engine oil inexpensively and accurately, thereby making it possible to properly determine degradation of the engine oil and the time for replacement of the engine oil.The engine oil degradation-estimating device includes an ECU 2. The ECU 2 estimates an antioxidant performance OIT and a cleanliness preservation performance TBN of engine oil, and determines degradation of engine oil based on the estimated antioxidant performance OIT and cleanliness preservation performance TBN. The device for estimating antioxidant performance of engine oil also includes an ECU 2. The ECU 2 acquires concentration [FUEL] of fuel in engine oil, and estimates the antioxidant performance of the engine oil based on the acquired fuel concentration [FUEL].
