Indicators change in quality waste cooking oil seen from numbers acid, numbers lathering, numbers peroxide and levels of FFA.The type of research that used is true experimental reaserch. The design used is factorial design. Design of the research uses random complete design, with the first factor is concentration (25% v/v, 35% v/v, and 45% v/v) and the second factor is old mixing (60 minutes, 90 minutes, and 120 minutes). Data were analyzed by  two way Anovaand duncan‘s 5%.The research results show that there is the effect of concentration and old mixing cider of bilimbi on quality improvement waste cooking oil. The value of waste cooking oil numbers acid 2,24 mg KOH/g, numbers lathering 92,57 mg/g, numbers peroxide 125 meg O2/Kg, and levels of FFA 1,02%. Best treatment in this research is 45% 120 minutes produce numbers acid 1,12 mg KOH/g, numbers lathering 182,33 mg/g, numbers peroxide 16,7 meg O2/Kg, and levels of FFA 0,51%.
