Determination <strong>of</strong> tribomehanical systems condition has very important role in development <strong>of</strong> frictiontheory and practice, wear and lubrication. There are used today different physical and chemical methodsand tribology methods for tribomehanical system diagnosis. Experience in technical systems exploitationshoved that the most effective failure prognosis is according to parameters, particles created as result <strong>of</strong>wear, which are reliable indicators <strong>of</strong> wear. Analysis <strong>of</strong> oil samples which contain particles, created asresults <strong>of</strong> wear, enable evaluation <strong>of</strong> system tribology condition in different phases <strong>of</strong> system exploitation.The paper presents the physical chemical tests in the analysis <strong>of</strong> oils that are used for the assessment <strong>of</strong> hiscondition. Furthermore the results <strong>of</strong> experimental research <strong>of</strong> physical chemical characteristics engines oilwas sampled from engines <strong>of</strong> vehicles, which were in use. The research results are originating from theresearch <strong>of</strong> the paper authors.Keywords: Monitoring, lubrication systems, analysis oils, proactive maintenance, diagnosis.1. INTRODUCTIONModern trends <strong>of</strong> diagnosis in recent years, go tothe affirmation <strong>of</strong> the monitoring <strong>of</strong> oil, which hasresulted in growth <strong>of</strong> interest <strong>of</strong> producers and users<strong>of</strong> oil. The reasons lie primarily in increasing thereliability, effectiveness, economy, and recentlymore and more present protection <strong>of</strong> theenvironment.Using Oil Analysis programs for engine oils hasseveral benefits: reduction <strong>of</strong> unscheduled vehicledowntime, improvement <strong>of</strong> vehicle reliability, helpin organizing effectiveness <strong>of</strong> maintenanceschedules, extension <strong>of</strong> engine life, optimization <strong>of</strong>oil change intervals and reduction <strong>of</strong> cost <strong>of</strong> vehiclemaintenance.In application, oils change their propertiesthrough [1]: contamination by combustion productsand metal wear particles, consumption <strong>of</strong> additiveswhich is chemical and bears impact on importantoil functions and base oil oxidation.The primary role <strong>of</strong> engine oil is the lubrication<strong>of</strong> moving engine parts and reducing friction andwear <strong>of</strong> metal surfaces which provides the goodengine performance and its long life. In order toprovide a defined quality <strong>of</strong> engine oils duringproduction and for final products to meet theproduct specifications we need to know thephysical chemical characteristics <strong>of</strong> engine oils.Certain physical-chemical characteristics whichare significant for the quality <strong>of</strong> engine oils areachieved by adding additives to base oils. The mostfrequent additives are for: improving <strong>of</strong> viscosityindex-improvers, reducing pour point-depressants,maintaining engine cleanness-detergents anddispersants, preventing oxidation-antioxidants,preventing corrosion-corrosion inhibitors.2.
