Conclusions (Stead State Operation) Lube oil consumption for steady state operation has insignificant effect on diesel particulate matter Engine operating conditions have significant effects on the detailed particulate matter composition Lube oil has a small contribution to overall organic carbon for some operating conditions Effective density calculations provide additional insight in understanding the details of diesel PM. No apparent changes in particle size distributions with changes in oil consumption
