METHOD AND UNIT FOR CONTROLLING THE OPERATION OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE WITH SPARK IGNITION OR DUAL-FUEL INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE OPERATING IN SPARK IGNITION MODE

摘要

A method for operating an internal combustion engine that is supplied with lubricating oil via an oil circuit. A measurement value of the total base number and/or a measurement value of the oxidation of lubricating oil currently used in the oil circuit for the lubrication is detected. Dependent on the established measurement value of the total base number and/or dependent on the established measurement value of the oxidation an exchange oil quantity for the oil circuit is determined. Currently used lubricating oil to an extent corresponding to the exchange oil quantity is removed from the oil circuit and new lubricating oil to an extent corresponding to the exchange oil quantity is supplied to the oil circuit.
