Provided is a lubricant deterioration sensor capable of determining a deterioration degree of a lubricant without using an external apparatus. This lubricant deterioration sensor is provided with: an oil entering gap, into which a lubricant to be subjected to detection enters; an LED (21) that outputs detection light with respect to the oil entering gap; a color sensor (22) that acquires a detection value indicating color information of the detection light that has passed through the lubricant; a correcting unit that corrects a measurement range of the detection value corresponding to the lubricant to be subjected to detection; a determining unit that determines a deterioration degree of the lubricant on the basis of the detection value; and a housing. The housing houses the oil entering gap, the LED (21), the color sensor (22), the correcting unit, and the determining unit. |
