Abstract

Lubricants are used as anti-friction and heat absorbing media and therefore lead to smooth and reliable functions/operations, and therefore reduces the risks of frequent failures and thus enhance the durability/life-cycle of vehicle. At present, due to worldwide concern in protecting the environment from pollution and the increased prices and depletion of reserve crude oil, there has been growing interest to formulate and apply an alternative solution with the research and development in environment-friendly bio-lubricants from natural resources. A bio-lubricant is renewable and sustainable lubricants which is biodegradable, non-toxic, and emits net zero greenhouse gas. This chapter deals the potential of vegetable oil-based bio-lubricant for automotive application. In this chapter, the source, properties, as well as advantages and disadvantages of the bio-lubricant has been detailed. Further, the future prospects and challenges of bio-lubricants as potential alternative of conventional lubricants has been elucidated.
