Abstract
Modern lubricants are careful balance of mineral or synthetic base stock, coupled with oil additives to enhance an existing property of the based oil such as oxidation resistance. In used oil analysis, nonconforming test data related to lubricant physical and chemical properties; contamination and wear debris is frequently encountered. The paper presents shear stability and extreme pressure test in order to characterize base stock oil and effect of blend low viscosity oil in the based oil. In present analysis, the oil used in sewing machine for the purpose of lubrication is used as blend oil in the Castrol GTX oil. The ASTM performance tests were conducted on the four ball test rig for comparative study which establishes the way that the mechanical solicitations during service life of the oils affect the viscosity modification and thus the quality of the oil performance.
