The (UEO) is used as percentage of cement weight (0.1,0.15, 0.2%) ,the 28 day concrete is exposed to different levels of high temperature (200,400,600°C) for 1.0 hr, the concrete samples were tested after 24 hr of cooling, two methods were used to add the (UEO), First Method: adding the (UEO) during the mixing process (mixing the dry materials and water after that the used engine oil was added), The Second Method: An emulsion mixture consisting of oil and water was prepared for the different percentages of additions this emulsion was used after mixing the dry materials, the mixing time was 4 minutes. Results showed that the effect of using the (UEO) is similar to that of air-entraining chemical to fresh concrete, its effect appears on the (initial & final setting time, slump and air content) and also affects the properties of hardened concrete.Keyword: used engine oil, concrete, high temperature, air-entrained.
