    Common methods include:

    Spectrometric Analysis: Detects wear metals and additive elements.
    Viscosity Testing: Assesses the oil’s flow properties.
    Acid Number (AN) Testing: Measures oil acidity, indicating oxidation levels.
    Particle Counting: Quantifies particulate contamination.
    Water Content Measurement: Detects moisture that can cause corrosion.
    These analyses reveal the oil’s condition, contamination levels, and any signs of degradation, guiding maintenance decisions.
