Abstract
Method for monitoring a lubricant of a combustion engine, wherein measured numerical values are acquired with at least one sensor over a running time of a combustion engine, wherein the measured numerical values are representative of an oil quality of an engine oil of the combustion engine, wherein an oil sampling interval is adapted depending on at least one measured numerical value and/or a variable derived therefrom.
Claims20
A method for monitoring a lubricant of a combustion engine, comprising:
- acquiring a plurality of measured numerical values with at least one sensor over a running time of a combustion engine, wherein the measured numerical values are representative of an oil quality of an engine oil of the combustion engine;
- and
- adapting an oil sampling interval depending on at least one measured numerical value of the plurality of measured numerical values and/or a variable derived therefrom.
A system, comprising:
- a controller configured to:
- acquire a plurality of measured numerical values with at least one sensor over a running time of a combustion engine, wherein the measured numerical values are representative of an oil quality of an engine oil of the combustion engine;
- and
- adapt an oil sampling interval depending on at least one measured numerical value of the plurality of measured numerical values and/or a variable derived therefrom.
1 more element
A system, comprising:
- a combustion engine having an oil circuit and at least one sensor along the oil circuit;
- a controller configured to:
- monitor the at least one sensor to obtain sensor feedback;
- and
- adapt an oil sampling interval based on the sensor feedback or a variable derived therefrom.
