Abstract
A new and improved on-site method for protecting an internal combustion engine in the field for maximizing service time by determining the change point of the lubricating oil. The on-site method utilizes a new colorimetric method and apparatus which serves as an indicator of the amount of acid build-up in the lubrication oil. The apparatus is a test strip formed from a polymeric matrix comprised of ion-rich domains known as an ionomer. A dye is bonded to the ion-rich domains and then activated by dipping the test strip in a basic solution.
