    Calculation of Engine BSOC
    The following calculation method may be used
    to estimate the BSOC of an operating engine.
    A comparison can then be made between the
    operating engine and the typical value for that
    engine. A low hour engine may have lower oil
    consumption than the typical value and a high
    hour engine may have higher oil consumption
    than the typical value, but the typical value
    will still provide an estimate for oil
    consumption.
    Metric Units English Units
    BSOC Oil Usage (g/h) BSOC Oil Usage (lb/h)
    (g/bkW-h) = Engine Power (bkW) x Load Factor (lb/bhp-h) = Engine Power (bhp) x Load Factor

    Calculation for Average Oil Consumption


    The equations used for calculation of the engine
    BSOC can be rearranged to provide an estimate
    of the average oil usage for the life of the engine.
    Metric Units English Units
    Oil Usage (L/h) = Oil Usage (gal/h) =
    Engine Power (bkW) x Load Factor x BSOC (g/bkW-h) Engine Power (bhp) x Load Factor x BSOC (lb/bhp-h)

    Oil Consumption as an Overall Indicator


    When the oil consumption of an engine has consumption, oil consumption, blow-by and
    increased to three times the nominal oil compression. If an engine is still performing at
    consumption due to normal wear, the engine acceptable levels in all of these parameters,
    should be considered for overhaul. The true then it need not be overhauled. Therefore, to
    measure of when to overhaul an engine is obtain minimum operating cost, it is helpful to
    performance as measured by output, fuel keep good records for the listed items.
