Sulphur content in engine oil: Method for determining the amount

The object of the study is engine oil for internal combustion engines of agricultural machinery, with a focus on determining the content of sulphur and its compounds, such as sulphoxides and sulphides, which have a significant impact on the performance of oils. The research method involves the use of high precision titration techniques using specialised reagents and instruments to accurately measure sulphur concentrations. The obtained results demonstrate that the increased content of sulphur-containing compounds in motor oils leads to accelerated engine wear and increased negative impact on the environment. Application of the proposed methodology allows effective control of sulphur content, which contributes to optimisation of engine operation and reduction of machinery downtime. Thus, maintaining the optimal quality of engine oil is a key factor for increasing the service life of internal combustion engines and improving their efficiency in the agro-industrial complex.
