How to Determine an Oil's Energy Efficiency

What type of data should be collected to determine an oil's energy efficiency

The energy saved is measured in terms of what is utilized to move or operate the machine. For example, for a combustion engine, the reduction in fuel consumption would be measured. For an electric motor and/or gearbox, the reduction of electric energy (voltage, current and power factor) would be measured.
