For use in logging downhole in an earth borehole, a method for determining a characteristic of oil, includes: providing and determining the viscosity of a plurality of crude oil samples; performing test measurements, using a predetermined operating mode, on media including the crude oil samples to obtain test data; applying a test processing procedure to the test data to obtain an output test parameter relating to the test data and the predetermined operating mode; deriving, for the plurality of crude oil samples, a correlation relating the output test parameter to the viscosities of the crude oil samples; performing downhole measurements in the measurement region with a logging device, operated with substantially the predetermined operating mode, to obtain logging data, and applying a measurement processing procedure to the logging data to obtain an output logging parameter; and determining the oil characteristic using the output logging parameter and the correlation.
