This study analyzes the performance of the lubrication system on the SWD 6TM410 diesel engine at PLTD Kayu Merah, Ternate. This engine has been operating for over three decades and has experienced significant performance degradation, from an installed power of 3380 kW to 2200 kW. One of the leading causes of this decline is the lubrication system's non-optimization, which reduces friction, cools the engine, and prevents damage due to wear and tear. This study identified various problems in the lubrication system, such as unstable lubricant pressure, excessively high lubricant temperature, and degraded quality. Through the collection and analysis of operation and maintenance data, this study found that lubricant pressure and temperature are critical parameters that affect engine efficiency. The analysis resulted in recommendations for corrective measures to improve lubrication system performance and diesel engine operational efficiency. Implementing the recommendations is expected to enhance the reliability of the electricity supply at PLTD Kayu Merah and positively contribute to the company's operations.
