Abstract
Mechanical machinery has to be lubricated by oil. Lubricating oil loses its capability of protecting the metal surface during its application. This will lead to failures like wear, stiction, seizure, erosion and corrosion. To maintain for example a combustion engine of a car in good condition an oil change is necessary after a given number of kilometers. But maybe at that time the lubricating oil is still able to protect the engine and a change just means an additional economical and ecological load. Or even worse it is too late for the oil change and the engine is damaged seriously. To avoid both cases you have to perform oil analysis.
