Indirect ablation laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (IA-LIBS) was applied to the analysis of the nonmetallic constituents of engine oil and considered as a feasible technique for the evaluation of the consumption and/or combustion of engine oil during routine engine operation. The evolution of CN emission and C2 emission was investigated for different driving time intervals of the motor. The exponentially decaying curve showed that the intensity of CN emission and C2 emission decayed at different driving time intervals. The evolution of total CN emission and C2 emission was analyzed, and the ratio of CN to C2 was calculated, which might be taken as an indicator to evaluate the performance of the used engine oils and/or to diagnose the conditions of the motor engine. Thus, it is shown that IA-LIBS is a potential method for analyzing the metallic and nonmetallic constituents of engine oil.
