Many bio-fluids have been introduced to replace petroleum-based products one of which is vegetable oil which has characteristics that are friendly to the environment. Based on its characteristics, it is turning into a significant bio fluid source. Vegetable oil has a great advantage over other forms of bio-oils which is its wild availability as a renewable source. Furthermore, when used in engines, vegetable oil based lubricants have the ability to decrease hydrocarbon emissions as well as carbon dioxide. Using the pure vegetable oil with no additions and using certain blending ratios are the two methods of using vegetable oil as a bio-fluid. This paper focuses on conducting an investigation on the influence of using the normal load on the performance characteristics for the blending of two types of vegetable fluid, and making a comparison between this and a commercial mineral fluid using the four ball tribotester, palm olein with Jatropha curcas oil which were mixed in (RB60/J40) ratio. All conducted experiments were conformed to ASTM D4172. It has been noticed from the obtained results that RBD palm olein and Jatropha curcas oil Blend has the ball bearings wear scar and frication coefficient less than the commercial fluid. Based on that, it is concluded that the RB60/J40 blend is more efficient than neat RBD palm olein and commercial mineral fluid as well.
