Summary: The study evaluated the tribological properties of 5W-40 engine oil blended with 10% sesame, mustard, and olive oils using a Linear Reciprocating Tribometer. Sesame oil emerged as the most effective additive, reducing the coefficient of friction to 0.35 and the friction factor to 7.13. Olive oil showed moderate performance, while mustard oil was the least effective. These findings underline the potential of sesame oil as a sustainable lubricant additive, enhancing engine efficiency and reducing wear.
