An apparatus ( ) for analyzing lubricant oils and functional fluids includes an optical emission spectrometer (OES) ( ) having a substantially continuously valued wavelength versus intensity output ( ). The OES ( ) analyzes light captured from a spark emission stand ( ) through which the fluid sample is flowed. An expert system ( ) operates according to a set of Rules, and generates diagnostic text ( ) for an operator based on the information about the fluid sample provided by the OES ( ) and other measurement devices. The apparatus ( ) is reduce in size, weight and cost.
