An experiment was conducted to study how SAE 50 engine oil contaminated with diesel fuel affects engine
performance. The engine oil was contaminated with diesel fuel at concentrations of 0%, 1%, and 3%. The
following performance characteristics were studied: brake-specific fuel consumption, brake thermal efficiency,
friction power, and exhaust gas temperature. Each treatment was tested three times. The three treatments (0%,
1%, and 3%) were analyzed statistically with a one-way ANOVA model at the 5% probability level to determine
if the three treatments produced significant differences in engine performance. The statistical results showed that
there were significant differences in engine performance metrics among the three treatments. The 3
