This research focuses on the viscosity and Total
Base Number (TBN) of lubricating oil in diesel engines. The
study tests the characteristics of new lubricating oil, oil
used for 500 hours without and with CJC type fine filters,
and oil used for 1336.5 hours with CJC fine filters. The
testing follows the ASTM D445-21e2 and ASTM D2896-21
methods at the PT PETROLAB SERVICES Laboratory. The
results reveal that using CJC fine filters can prolong the life
of lubricating oil, as it preserves the quality, particularly
within the first 500 working hours. However, beyond
1336.5 hours, some test results become unreasonable,
indicating that the oil is no longer suitable for use. To gain
a comprehensive understanding of the changes in
lubricating oil quality, further testing at 750 and 1000
hours is suggested. Overall, this research highlights the
importance of maintaining lubricating oil quality in diesel
engines and the potential benefits of using CJC fine filters
