and Intertek Method? FTIR
• Mobil Method: Spectrum
Mobil Method is a differential method. All results
(Oxidation, Nitration,etc) are calculated through
relative difference between In- Service Oil and Fresh
Oil Mobil Method

• Intertek Method: Intertek Method


Intertek Method is a direct trend method. All results
are calculated through the absolute absorbance of In-
Service Oil from baseline.
