The Mobil Method and Intertek Method are two different approaches for analyzing used engine oil using FTIR spectroscopy. The Mobil Method is a differential method that calculates results based on the relative difference between used and fresh oil spectra. The Intertek Method is a direct trend method that calculates results based on the absolute absorbance of used oil compared to a baseline. The Intertek Method typically yields higher results than the Mobil Method due to analyzing only the used oil spectrum.

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. In-Service • Results by Mobil Method and Intertek method could Oil not be interconverted • Mobil Method describes the relative change against fresh oil; Intertek Method describes the absolute value of In-Service Oil. • Intertek Method will have higher results compared to Fresh Oil Mobil Method. The bias will vary by different products due to formulation difference. 1
