Tribological study of engine oil lubricant characteristics and its performance on 660cc engine. Journal of Transport System Engineering, 2 (1). pp. 37-40. ISSN 2289-9790 (2015)
Abstract
This paper presents analysis on engine lubricant characteristic and investigation on different engine oil lubricant effect, P1 and P2,in reducing fuel consumption of a660cc engine. Four-ball tester machine was used to study the friction and wear response with variable speed and temperature. Optical microscope was used to measure the wear scar diameter and capture the image for analysis. The result obtained from this experiment showed that the engine oil P1contributed to more friction and wear compared to engine oil P2due to the P2 film characteristics and anti-wear additive characteristics. Fuel consumption experiment was carried out to investigate the engine oil P1and engine oil P2lubricant effect in reducing fuel consumption. Based on the result, P2 engine oil showed a better lubricant characteristics compared P1 engine oil in term of fuel consumption based on maximum mileage it could travel using two liter of fuel.
