Abstract

In this study, a Commercial Oil Additives (COA) with engine lubricant are blended together in order to analyze the water content, anti-wear additive, oil chemistry measurement, total base number, kinematic viscosity, contamination, wear debris and gas emission release of four-stroke motorcycle engine. Mechanics assume this idea have more improvement than before addition of COA. A standard engine lubricant and a COA blended based on standard given by the COA. Motorcycle with four-stroke engine which has 110 cubic centimeters (cc) of cylinder volume was the test candidate. COA blended with engine lubricant, has volume ratio of 1: 0.06 and tested on three different mileages which is 0, 200, 300 kilometers. Furthermore, samples have two types of engine lubricant and one types of COA. The COA has a significant effect on Mineral Engine Lubricant (MEL) compared to Semi-Synthetic Engine Lubricant (SSEL). MEL increased the kinematic viscosity and reduce the water content compared to SSEL. It can be concluded that, COA can be used as an external oil additive for cheap, low quality motorcycle engine lubricant sold on the market. The COA in other hand cannot be blended higher than the recommended ratio due to increases the viscosity of the engine lubricant and can cause fatal in engine itself.
