Used lubricating oil from vehicles was treated with various types of chemicals to be regenerated. It was found that used lubricating oil could be reclaimed with sulphuric acid, sodium hydroxide, sodium phosphate, ammonium sulphate and rosin. Viscosity and pour point of the reclaimed lubricating oil were improved with the additive methyl methacrylate. The reclaimed lubricating oil was characterized by four‐ball ma chine and it was found that wear scar diameter (WSD) has greatly been de creased with the reclamation. The results of atomic absorption spectrophotometer also show that wear metals have also been de creased to an appreciable amount in there claimed lubricating oil.
