SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ESTIMATING ENGINE OIL HEALTH
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a sensor configured to measure one or more engine oil parameters to assess engine oil health of an engine; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the sensor and configured to;
receive a signal from the sensor, wherein the signal is representative of a real-time measurement of the one or more engine oil parameters;
estimate the one or more engine oil parameters over time via an adaptive predictive model associated with the one or more engine oil parameters to generate estimated data;
reconcile the real-time measurement and the estimated data to generate an integrated engine oil degradation model and predict engine oil remaining useful life based on the integrated engine oil degradation model and one or more condemn limits associated with the one or more engine oil parameters.

Abstract
A system includes a sensor that may measure one or more engine oil parameters to assess engine oil health of an engine and a processor communicatively coupled to the sensor and that may receive a signal from the sensor. The signal is representative of a real-time measurement of the one or more engine oil parameters. The processor may also estimate the one or more engine oil parameters over time via an adaptive predictive model associated with the one or more engine oil parameters to generate estimated data and reconcile the real-time measurement and the estimated data to generate an integrated engine oil degradation model and predict engine oil remaining useful life based on the integrated engine oil degradation model and one or more condemn limits associated with the one or more engine oil parameters.
