The document provides a procedure for determining the acid value of lubricating oils, which is defined as the number of milligrams of potassium hydroxide (KOH) needed to neutralize the free acids in 1 gram of the sample. The procedure involves dissolving a known weight of oil in a solvent, titrating it with standard KOH solution until a faint pink color persists, with higher acid values indicating increased oxidation of the oil which can lead to gum and sludge formation.
