The invention discloses a quick detection method of oil quality spectrum for lubricating oil, comprising the following steps: 1, collecting a lubricating oil sample with representativeness as a training set; 2, measuring the infrared spectrum of the training set sample; 3, measuring the quality index of the training set sample; 4, selecting a proper variable preference technology, preferably selecting a proper characteristic wavelength, taking the absorbance of the characteristic wavelength as a variable, and building the linear regression equation of each quality index and absorbance; 5, forthe quality detection of unknown lubricating oil samples, firstly measuring the infrared spectrum thereof, selecting the absorbance of wavelength with the same characteristic, and measuring each quality index of lubricating oil by the built liner regression equation. The invention quickly measures seven quality parameters, such as oil water content, total acid number, total base number, 40 DEG C viscosity, 100 DEG C viscosity, flash point, pour point and the like of lubricating oil and monitors lubricating oil quality. The quick detection method has high analysis speed and simple operation and greatly improves lubricating oil quality monitoring capability.
