Abstract

Mineral oil is commonly used in automotive applications or other industrial equipment due to its vast advantages. However, it is a non-renewable resource, and the pollution generated from the emission during its use has become a massive issue for the environment; hence the substitution of mineral oil with vegetable oil as a base stock has overcome these issues. Palm oil is used as a case study because of its advantages over mineral oil. Palm oil is recognized for its good lubrication performance and the possibility of reducing reliance on mineral-based oil lubricants. This study aims at the development of palm oil as a lubricant via a chemical modification method. Palm oil is used as a case study because of its advantages over mineral oil. Many researchers present convincing results on the ability of palm oil have been widely used as a lubricant in engineering applications. Palm oil is recognized for its good lubrication performance and the possibility of reducing reliance on mineral-based oil lubricants.
