Abstract
Currently, most of the lubricants used were reflected in high temperature applications which usually increase the possibilities of the lubricant viscosity been distorted. The symptom for viscosity distorted usually caused by oxidation, degradation, the presence of water and such that lead to this problem. Therefore, the used engine oil will become a waste. This waste increase day by day as the engine oil are wide been used especially in industrial application. However, this waste oil can be re-used by enhancement of nanoparticles. Nanoparticles could improve for the better lubricant chemical properties compared to the currently used additives, especially for the viscosity characteristic. Thus, testing was conducted in order to investigate the viscosity of used engine oil before and after filtration with enhancement of nanoparticles. The viscosity index of prepared samples was calculated and evaluated according to ASTM D2270. The flash point of the samples was determined in order to verify the result obtained according to ASTM D3828. Result shows reduction of the kinematic viscosity value around 3-7% at 40°C and 2-8% at 100°C compared to the pure used engine oil. The viscosity index for the prepared samples with three-time filtration process indicated the highest value compared to the other by 5.5% increment. And, graphite mark as the highest viscosity index value that exceeds the viscosity index of used engine oil by 0.61%. The lowest value of prepared sample flash point obtained is 145.5°C, with 156°C mark as the highest flash point of the sample.
