The article presents the concept of modern engine oils reliability assessment. The strategy taken in practice for changing the engine oil based on a predetermined working time may lead to the replacement of engine oil being still in operational condition caused by the selected status parameter. Such conclusions are coming from the conducted tests of mineral oils. It is reasonable to carry out reliability of engine oils assessment in operation, for synthetic oils dominating on the automotive market.
