This invention relates to a method (and a corresponding system) of creating a cylinder oil, the method comprising modification of at least one initial fluid (101) by determining iheTBN(s)qf the at least one initial fluid, determining a desired TBN of a cylinder oil (102) and adjusting the TBN(s) of the at least one initial fluid (101) accordingly by blending the at least one initial fluid (101) with suited additive(s) (103). In this way, a method (and system) for modifying initial fluid(s) to create a cylinder oil by .uljusting TBN is obtained. This provides significant economical benefits since lubricants that otherwise would have to he disposed of can he re-used as a total loss cylinder lubricant P'tirther cylinder nil does not have to he purchased. The oil(s) used to blend ihc cylinder oil is/are of more consistent quality as it is replenished contrary to the traditional practice which reduces machinery wear, eic. Thus, the replenishment of the initial fluid's) provides enhanced and consistent performance of the initial fluids resulting ;ii greatly reduced component wcai and equipment lifecycle cost. Even further, a moie environmentally friendly method/system is provided since waste, in the form ot spent oil(s) thai is discarded after prolonged use. is reduced as it is con veiled into a cylinder oil.
