Abstract

Treated engine oils with compounds like graphene and zirconia represent promising advances in lubrication technology. Graphene, a two-dimensional carbon allotrope, and zirconia, a ceramic substance, each have distinct features that can improve engine oil performance and lifetime. This abstract investigates how graphene and zirconia additions affect the friction-reducing and wear-resistant as an additives of treated engine oils. Graphene, with its extraordinary strength and lubricity, can provide a strong, low-friction boundary layer between moving parts, reducing wear and energy consumption. Zirconia nanoparticles, known for their high hardness and thermal stability, can improve the oil's wear resistance and preserve engine components at high temperatures. By adding these compounds into engine oils, manufacturers can increase the overall efficiency and dependability of internal combustion engines. In this study, ASTM D-7317 filtration and ASTM D-4172 4-Ball Tester experiment method were used. This study uses typical industrial testing procedures to examine the tribological properties of engine oils treated with varied quantities of graphene and zirconia additions. Based on the result, filtered engine oil with graphene industrial given the best result to reduce Coefficient of Friction and Wear Scar Diameter which were 0.1029µm and 0.2023mm. These values were closed to the COF and WSD of new engine oil SAE 5W-30, 0.1000µm and 0.1333mm. The next best result of additives reduced the COF and MWD were followed by zirconia 0.1056µm and 0.2033mm, next filtered engine oil with additives graphene research 0.1086µm and 0.2090 and lastly graphene technical 0.1097µm and 0.2120. These researches proved that the treated waste engine oil can be used secondary in the industry as the filtered and additives in the waste engine oil can improved in the Coefficient of Friction (COF) and Wear Scar Diameter (WSD).
