ABSTRACT
This paper reports on the study involving the development of a dependence between the selected physicochemical properties of
engine oil and the variation of its dielectric constant, considered as an evaluation parameter for the degree of its exploitation.
In order to get to know the selected phenomena that accompany oil aging, a decision was made to perform tests of the condition
of engine oils at various stages of their exploitation. In addition to the analysis of the dielectric constant, measurements of total
base number and (TBN) and infrared spectroscopy (IR) were also performed. The interdependence between the examined values
is developed using the Pearson’s linear correlation coefficient. As a result, the variability of TBN and IR absorbance in the context
of the change in the dielectric constant were evaluated. Following the realized experimental tests, it was found that the results
demonstrate a satisfactory correlation between the selected physicochemical properties of the oil, which resulted in the adoption
of an assumption of a high feasibility of application of dielectric constant as a diagnostic parameter in monitoring the state of
exploitation of engine oil.
