Depending on the oil viscosity parameters initially programmed during SmartOil® commissioning (upper/lower control limits, rate of change), proprietary algorithms processed by the G3 Edge-AI Brain™ can detect a lubricant condition anomaly very early. The SmartOil® G3 Edge-AI Brain™ can autonomously trigger an Exception-Sample™ to capture a forensic-grade, ASTM-ready oil sample that can reveal abnormal changes in viscosity per ASTM D445. A rapid shift in the oil viscosity could be representative of an inflection point resulting from a compromised fuel injector. Left unattended, this condition could bring upon the onset of fuel dilution; the SAE40W engine oil can quickly be reduced to SAE5W engine oil through dilution from diesel fuel contamination washing down from the affected cylinder.
