[BOBISTHEOILGUY]

used to determine the level of oil deterioration due to oxidation, or remaining useful life, for a used oil.

TBN, OXD, NOX, Soot, TAN?

I don't know if those all involve separate tests or if some are combined/complimentary.

There are sure alot more than three tests for Oxidation and remaing useful life. The tests aren't just self explanatory either, they must be properly interpreted against the whole result.

Here are a few we use, Oxidation, TEOST(rod and filter deposits, and then total, design TFOUT, RBOT.
