What are Lubricant Additives? Why do you need to change the oil of your car?

An industrial lubricating oil consists of the base oil (mineral or synthetic) and several additives. This video explains why do we need additives in the oil and what are those additives. What are their functions in enhancing the performance of the oil? Is oil change really good for your car?
Do you know that a lubricating oil will be nearly of no use if there were no additives? Several examples of each additive type is presented. The money we for lubricants are mostly because of the well-formulated additives which are all synthetic. Of course if the base oil is also synthetic then the cost goes very high.

Thank you so much for the knowledge, I'll be writing in a few days and I didn't understand what i was readying but this unlocked alot of blockage.

Plus sir I want to learn what is the best base oil for engine oil

[@georginaleiyami9041]

Sir can you explain how biolubricant is produce from Rapeseed oil (steps involve, reactions, catalyst).

[@engineeringmaterials-tribo5142]

Thanks for enquiry. I have not worked on biolubricants. From the readings I can say that biolubricants need to be stabilized against its easy oxidation and other thermal related issues. I would suggest you to read few papers in this field. Below can be downloaded from the internet. Catalysts 2020, 10, 366; doi:10.3390/catal10040366 Energy 72 (2014) 618e627 Proc IMechE Part J: J Engineering Tribology 2014, Vol. 228(11) 1308-1318. 👍

Sir also make a video on food grade lubricants. It will help us a lot

[@engineeringmaterials-tribo5142]

One solution is the use of polymers and polymer composites which are self-lubricating. Other is to use biolubricants but some may contain harmful substances (such as traces of sulfuric acid) due to processing. Thanks for valuable comment. 👍

Sir..kindly guide additives by name can be used in diesel to emulsify it and make it a water soluble metal cutting fluid which turns thick milky emulsion when water is added to it..Regards

[@engineeringmaterials-tribo5142]

Not sure about diesel to be used as metal cutting fluid. Normal base oil lubricant can be emulsified using sodium sulphonates with stearate or oleate boundary additive. I will leave it to you to search for diesel emulsification. I believe it will follow the same trend as normal base oil lubricant. Diesel might be more expensive than base oil. Thanks for your interest!👍

Hello sir, i am using an additive to my mineral 15w40 engine oil and this additive contains the long chain chlorinated olefin. I am using this additive since the end of the 90's without any problems. Is it true that the Chlorinated Olefin WILL corrode the engine regardless of the additive mix? The additive is resitant from -50 to 315 degrees celcius. Thank you. Rob

[@engineeringmaterials-tribo5142]

Rob, General belief is that the presence of chlorine will corrode metals and it is true. However, I do not have data for your type of application. It is interesting for me to know more about the additive molecule you are using. Could you share? Thank you.

Dose we make additive small scale And Viscosity index improver How can v made Best quality

[@engineeringmaterials-tribo5142]

Additives are approximately 10% by weight in a lubricating oil. VI improvers are also within this various additives. Remaining is the base oil.
