The article presents the results of the analysis of the effectiveness of express tests for monitoring the current state of engine oil during the period of its operation in an internal combustion engine and determining the limit state of used engine oil. The results of diagnostics by physicochemical, rheological and optical methods of changing the state of fresh motor oil from the lubrication system of a diesel internal combustion engine at regular mileage intervals are presented. A software product project is proposed in the form of a mobile application for diagnosing the state of engine oil in the lubrication system of an internal combustion engine based on paper chromatography using a drop test, which will allow individual motorists to determine the need to replace used engine oil and, as a result, increase the period services of tribocouplings of a motor vehicle and will increase their overhaul period.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
