<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a determining system of degree of deterioration of internal combustion engine lubricating oil to correctly determine the degree of deterioration of internal combustion engine lubricating oil for a vehicle, and to provide a determining method of the degree of deterioration of internal combustion engine lubricating oil. <P>SOLUTION: The determining system of the degree of deterioration of internal combustion engine lubricating oil determines the degree of deterioration of internal combustion engine lubricating oil, and has a temperature detecting means to detect a lubricating oil temperature, a nitrogen oxide amount detecting means to detect a nitrogen oxide amount in the gas exhausted from the internal combustion engine, and a determining means to determine the degree of deterioration of lubricating oil depending on the detected lubricating oil temperature and the detected nitrogen oxide amount. The degree of deterioration of lubricating oil is preferably determined depending on the predetermined relationship with the lubricating oil temperature, the nitrogen oxide amount and the degree of the lubricating oil. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
