Lubricating oils are extremely essential for the operation of modern automotive machinery. They are formulated by blending special purpose chemicals into Base oil of crude origin to achieve desired properties required by application at hand. In the present work, commercial package additive (multichemical compound) has been used to formulate the Engine Oil. The blending proportion of package Additives are varied from 0–15 volume % and its tribological properties are measured using standard test methods. The Physico-chemical studies on the effect of addition of package additives to formulate automotive engine oil are studied and reported.

Abstract


Lubricating oils are extremely essential for the operation of modern automotive machinery. They are formulated by blending special purpose chemicals into Base oil of crude origin to achieve desired properties required by application at hand. In the present work, commercial package additive (multichemical compound) has been used to formulate the Engine Oil. The blending proportion of package Additives are varied from 0–15 volume % and its tribological properties are measured using standard test methods. The Physico-chemical studies on the effect of addition of package additives to formulate automotive engine oil are studied and reported.
