Provided is a monitoring apparatus used to monitor lubricating oil inside a compressor. The monitoring apparatus comprises a first capacitance detector (), a calculation unit, and a determining unit. The first capacitance detector () is disposed in a compressor () and is completely immersed in lubricating oil () inside the compressor (), and is used to detect a first capacitance value (Cn). The calculation unit calculates a relative dielectric constant of the lubricating oil inside the compressor according to the first capacitance value (Cn) detected by the first capacitance detector (). The determining unit monitors, according to the calculated relative dielectric constant, whether quality of the lubricating oil () inside the compressor () encounters an exception. Further provided are a method for monitoring quality of lubricating oil inside a compressor and an apparatus and a method for monitoring a fluid level of lubricating oil inside a compressor. The monitoring apparatus and method may accurately monitors quality and a fluid level of lubricating oil inside a compressor, thereby reducing a monitoring cost and improving monitoring accuracy.
