Abstract

Minerals oils own completely outclassed lubrications as well as these days environmentally friendly problems begin to arise since the mineral oil and synthetic oil is not eco-friendly. Besides, the disposal ofthe mineral oil is generally complex. Recent environmental awareness has put mineral oils as the most widely used lubricant base fluid into consideration by the use of biodegradable fluid like vegetable oils and other synthetic fluids into new grease formulation. The main purpose of this study is to create alternative lubricant oil with the addition of the antioxidizing agent into the vegetable oil. Which commercialized cooking canola oil is chosen to be the base oil of the lubricant. However, the major problem of vegetable oil is has poor thermo-oxidative stability. Vegetable oils have triglyceride structures that come from saturated and unsaturated. The triglyceride structures have disabilities which unsaturated double bonds in the fatty acids are active and affect the oxidation and lowering the oxidation stability. Thus, introduction of Zinc Dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) that known as the effective antiwear and antioxidant additive in preventing the degradation of lubricating oil dissolved in commercialized cooking canola oil using ultrasonic bath to produce the newly developed lubricant oil There are four American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) methods will be conducted which in a sample testing and characterization stage and it is important because to characterize the properties of the new oil and test it to engine application.
