OIL LIFE DETECTION DEVICE AND OIL LIFE DETECTION METHOD

摘要

Provided is oil remaining life detection device (1) that detects a remaining life of engine oil in vehicle (2), including: vehicle information acquisition part (21) that acquires, from vehicle (2), information relating to a travel distance of vehicle (2) and information relating to an driving state of an engine of vehicle (2) at every vehicle information acquisition period set in advance; engine state determination part (22) that determines the driving state of the engine during an engine state determination period set in advance, based on the information relating to the driving state of the engine; travel distance correction part (23) that corrects the travel distance of vehicle (2) during the engine state determination period according to the driving state of the engine to calculate a corrected driving distance; and oil remaining life calculation part (24) that subtracts the corrected driving distance from a residual remaining distance, which indicates the remaining life of engine oil, to calculate a new residual remaining distance. With this constitution, oil remaining life detection device (1) in the present disclosure is effective in detecting a remaining life of engine oil of a vehicle with greater accuracy.
