| Summary: | Recently, much effort has been focused on research and
development of new types of lubricating oil additives to
reduce wear and friction in the tribological systems. It has
been noted that the use of additives to improve the
lubricating capacity and durability of oil plays an important role in the wear and friction process of materials. Due to the environmental problems, many researchers are embarking on the viability of the vegetable-based lubricants. In this article a critical review has been made on vegetable-based lubricant additives with specific
properties and application. This article explains the
advantages and manufacturing processes of vegetablebased
oils, which will give a better understanding of using
biodegradable lubricating oil additives. A case study on
palm oil methyl ester as an additive has been presented in
this paper.
