Use of biodiesel produces engine oil dilution because of unburned biodiesel impinging on
cold walls of the combustion chamber, being scrapped to the oil pan, and leading to
changes of oil friction, wear and lubricity properties. In this paper, mixtures of SAE 15W‐40

Use of biodiesel produces engine oil dilution because of unburned biodiesel impinging on cold walls of the combustion chamber, being scrapped to the oil pan, and leading to changes of oil friction, wear and lubricity properties. In this paper, mixtures of SAE 15W‐40 oil, which were contaminated by known percentages of the biodiesels from canola oil, peanut oil, soybean oil, and chicken fat, were tested in a pin‐on‐disk tribometer. A contact was employed of AISI 1018 steel disk and AISI 316 stainless‐steel ball for pin material, and friction force and specific wear were measured. Wear on the disk surfaces showed that any degree of mineral‐oil dilution by the tested biodiesels reduces the wear protection of engine oil even at small mixture percentages. However, these reductions were not substantially different than those observed for same percentages of dilution of mineral oil by fossil diesel. The tested mixture of oil contaminated with animal fat feedstock (e.g., chicken fat) biodiesel showed the best wear behavior as compared to those for the other tested mixtures (of mineral oil with vegetable feedstock biodiesel dilutions). Obtained results are discussed as baseline for further studies in a renewable energy multidisciplinary approach on biofuels and biolubes.
