The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of diesel soot contents on the deterioration of engine oil in terms of the changes in the dielectric constants of diesel engine oils. Therefore, it is figured out the level of oil deterioration by investigating how are the dielectric constants of diesel engine oils changed according to changes in diesel soot contents. The measured data will be able to be used as the reference data to judge the level of oil deterioration induced by diesel soot when the previously developed oil deterioration sensor will be applied at diesel vehicles in the future.
