This study is concerned with the property changes(chemical and mechanical) of the used oil in diesel engine, which were sampled from a test engine with dynamometer and various cars. The properties of oil are TAN, viscosity, oxidation, ZDTP depletion factor and etc. Also the relation between the change of chemical and antiwear property of used oil was strongly related to ZDTP depletion factor as wall as the change of TAN(total acid number), sulfation and pentan unsoluble contents which were reated to the formation of protect film in sliding area. The oil used in pick-up(small) truck engine was deteriorated within the shortest distance than that of other cars. The antiwear property of used oil was decreased sharply as the running distance were over 5,000km. The oil used to mini bus was the least to deteriorate of properities for the funning distance.

This study is concerned with the change of physical and chemical properties of the used oil in gasoline and LPG engine. The used oils of engine were sampled from dynamometer and cars. The field tests of car were done in city and on highway. The properties of oil were TAN, TBN, visocity, oxidation, ZDTP depletion factor and etc. Also the relation between the chemical change and antiwear property was studied. From the study, it was shown that the decrease of antiwear property of used oil was depended on the changes of ZDTP depletion factor as well as TAN (total acid number). Also, it was found that the oil used by LPG car was deteriorated within the shortest distance among the other gasoline cars. The antiwear property of oil decreased as the running distance increased. The gasoline engine oil drove mainly on highway was the least deteriorate of properities for the same running distance.

Before investigating the performance of NA-Q additive oil, we have studied the properties of the commercial reference oil by using an engine dynamometer. Experimemts were conducted for 300 hours with 2,950rpm and 22kw and every 50 hours the used oil was sampled for analyzing its physical and chemical propreties. The reference oil shows stable but slightly increasing viscosities during the experiment. It has good agreements with the change of its TAN and TBN. Friction coefficients and anti-wear characteristics are compared with its ZDTP depletion factor and the diameters of wear scar. The concentrations of metal particles are analyzed with the results of ICP and spectrometer, However it is found that the concentrations by filtration method shows large difference with those by standard method in spectrometer.

Although vegetable oils provide good lubricity, they still need optimization by certain additive technology for practical applications. ZDTP improve antiwear properties of vegetable oils. However the additive performance depends on quality of the base Oil. Antioxidants were applied to prevent the auto-oxidation of vegetable oils. Good synergistic effect of anti-wear and antioxidant additives was confirmed.

The engine oil life was examined experimentally for small size single cylinder engines. This study was conducted in the laboratory. An Eddy Current type engine dynamometer was used with a motorcycle and a cultivator engine. Physical and chemical properties of used oil was analyzed to examine the oil life. Flushed oil was used for the reference instead of the new oil. It were found that deterioration of dynamic viscosity and anti-wear property of engine oil was due to dilution by fuel not depletion of ZDTP.
