Applicative Monitoring of Vehicles Engine Oil

Confirming the basic causes of failures and their elimination, control of certain phenomena, is defining proactive maintenance, as a new method that reduces maintenance costs and prolongs the life of assets. Determination of tribomehanical systems condition has very important role in development of friction theory and practice, wear and lubrication. There are used today different physical and chemical methods and tribology methods for tribomehanical system diagnosis. Experience in technical systems exploitation shoved that the most effective failure prognosis is according to parameters, particles created as result of wear, which are reliable indicators of wear. Analysis of oil samples which contain particles, created as results of wear, enable evaluation of system tribology condition in different phases of system exploitation. The paper presents the physical chemical tests in the analysis of oils that are used for the assessment of his condition. Furthermore the results of experimental research of physical chemical characteristics engines oil was sampled from engines of vehicles, which were in use. The research results are originating from the research of the paper authors
