Lubricating Oil in any machine is like vital fluid as blood in human body, unlike humans this vital fluid cannot be purified and hence it is to be replaced for proper functionality of any machine. So detection of quality of oil becomes more important. Many methods are proposed and for detection some of them are on-board sensors while some requires samples to be collected and sent to laboratory for finding quality Work accomplished in this paper is for bringing a simple and cost effective measurement concept for determining and relating the physical and chemical properties of engine oil. While developing this sensor optical method is used to determine the state of engine oil with the help of simple arrangement and less cost. And compatibility in existing engines is also take care so that proposed system can be fitted and integrated in a existing engine without much efforts.
