Abstract
The authors conducted previous research in oil dilution by biodiesels because unburned biofuels, with their lower volatility and early aging, can enhance degradation of oil lubricity. Research is presented here on the dilution effects on wear for the most typical methyl-esters in biodiesels when added in known percentages to SAE 15W40 mineral oil in binary-mixtures. Tribometer studies are carried out for such mixtures to explain the observed differences between different feed-stock biodiesels when they are mixed in oil.
