Summary:A method (300) for diagnosing a condition of an engine (10) comprises obtaining a sample of lubricating fluid (126) from the engine (10), filtering the sample (126) to obtain a plurality of particles (124) from the lubricating fluid, determining surface chemical compositions for the plurality of particles (124), comparing the surface chemical compositions to at least one reference chemical composition associated with corrosion of the engine (10), determining a level of corrosion of the engine (10) based on the comparing, and diagnosing a condition of the engine (10) based on the level of corrosion.
