Abstract: The key element for the mechanics of every vehicle, whether it is a 2-wheeler, 3-wheeler, 4-wheeler, or so on, requires engine oil to work smoothly. The primary function of engine oil is to lubricate the moving elements of engines, which are constantly subjected to friction. As a result, friction is decreased, which tends to diminish the longevity of engine parts. During combustion, energy is wasted, and mechanical parts rubbing against one another raise the engine temperature. With increased usage, the engine undergoes considerable wear and tear, resulting in the accumulation of impurities in the oil. The project describes the design and development of an IoT-based instrument for monitoring oil impurity levels, along with its operational methodology. This project employs a novel approach utilising LED spectrophotometry. The developed instrument in the project will conduct both qualitative and quantitative assessments of lubricant oil in the IC engine’s sump. This, in turn, enables taking decisive actions to mitigate ecological emissions and extend the engine life cycle.
