Ensuring adequate lubrication is a key task in the sheet metal forming process. The replacement of commonly used synthetic lubricants in metal forming operations by eco-friendly equivalents is a way to introduce sustainable manufacturing. In this paper, six kinds of vegetable oils (linseed, palm, sunflower, cotton seed, soybean and coconut) were used to study the effect of lubricant type on the value of the coefficient of friction (COF) in sheet metal forming. The strip drawing test was used to simulate the friction conditions. The tests were carried out for various lubrication conditions and pressures. The polynomial quadratic regression model was used to determine the relationship between the input variables (test conditions) and the COF. For the range of the nominal pressures considered (2–12 MPa), the following oils provided the highest lubrication efficiency: palm, sunflower and cotton seed. These oils decreased the value of the COF by about 11–16% depending on the nominal pressure. Linseed oil had the most unfavourable properties, reducing the COF by about 7–12%. For the whole range of pressures considered, the increase in the viscosity of the oil caused a reduction in the value of the COF. The effect of oil density on the COF value was similar. The most unfavourable friction conditions occurred when there was low density and low viscosity of the oil at the same time.
