Abstract

Abstract: In an automotive application it is necessary to use the lubricants between the contacting/ moving surfaces. The world is suffering from the lack of mineral based lubricating oil and the hick in price as well as mineral oil based lubricants effect the environment also. The vegetable oil based lubricants become the good alternate of the mineral based oils due to its biodegradability, zero green-house effect and non-toxicity behaviour. In this review different types of vegetable oils are studied and the comparative studied also done between the oils. The thermo-physical parameters, velocity index and other properties of the oil are also considered. The use of additives and the nanoparticles additives are also considered in this paper. The nanoparticles additives enhance the lube properties of base oil due to which the more reduction in friction and wear are observed.
