Abstract
Using equations developed in Part I, predicted values for the remaining oxidative stability of engine oil were compared to oil analysis results (oxidation induction time by differential scanning calorimetry) of engine oil from vehicle tests. In driving tests, the loss of oxidative stability of the engine oil followed logarithmic decay curves as predicted by the model. In addition, the model compensated for the loss of oxidative stability due to pulling a 900-kg trailer.
