    Utilization of biodiesel as an alternative fuel has been increasing nowadays in term of quantity and ratio of bio-resource derived esters from B7 to B100. The tribological characteristic due to biodiesel application has been more interesting. Not only fuel dilution but also soot contamination in engine oil must be taken into account for the effect to the engine wear. This research employed carbon black as soot model and B7, B20 and B100 as contaminated fuel. Two blended grades of diesel engine oils (API CI-4 and CK4) were tested by a four-ball wear tester. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to investigate the wear characteristic. Three-dimensional images of wear scars and surface roughness were observed from confocal microscopy technique. The result shows that CK-4 has greater anti-wear performance and can maintain the lubricating performance when the oil is contaminated. For CI-4 cases, soot contamination causes increasing wear, but biodiesel fuel dilution shows wear reduction.

    Soot particles are produced during combustion process in the diesel engine. These particles will later exhaust into the thermosphere and part of them will contaminate the engine oil. When the lubricant is contaminated with soot, diesel engine abrasion or in a worst-case scenario lubricant starvation occurs. This situation will eventually lead into engine wear. High volume of soot also raises acid level of the area. If this state co-occurs with high temperature of the engine and volatile gases during operation, engine corrosion may also be produced. This research study the effect of additive volume on the dispersion of soot in engine oil and effect of additive on size and volume of soot which affect to mechanism of wear in metal by tribology four-ball tester, image analysis by scanning electron microscope and particle size analysis by laser diffraction technique.
