Abstract
Abstract
The need for more effective maintenance and possibility of continuous exploitation of equipment has developed numerous strategies and methods for machinery maintenance. The maintenance strategy by condition, that requires continuous monitoring and equipment overlook, has initiated the development and use of oil analysis.
In this work are presented the results of oil analysis examination during application in four-stroke engines by ferrografic and physico-chemical methods in order to evaluate possibilities of engine condition monitoring by oil analysis.
