Summary & Conclusions
1. A new rapid oil consumption measurement technique allows measurements up to 250 Hz
2. This enables the "fine tuning" of lube oils like no other method
3. For some OEMs the traditional oil quality specifications, together with their on top in-house requirements are no longer sufficient
4. Oil quality and formulation modifications can quickly be compared without influence of changes in the engine
5. In combination with online wear measurement this is the quickest development tool for the moment
6. Simulation techniques and calculations can additionally support the lube oil development
