A method and a device are used for evaluating and indicating the wear conditions of a motor lubrication oil. The device comprises a motor oil temperature sensor, an electronic unit comprising a threshold detector and an analog circuit which receives a signal from the temperature sensor to supply a first current proportional to a temperature variation either below or above a satisfactory temperature for the oil, an integrating counter supplied with a second current in idle periods and a third current in periods of utilization, the sum of the three currents being integrated, and a signaling device associated with the threshold detector for measuring any voltage increase across the integrating counter. The invention is applicable to motor instruments, especially, automotive vehicle motors.
