Bio-based lubricant has long known for
its superior lubricity. Through the process called
transesterification the vegetable oil and animal fats can
be transformed into lubricant or polyol ester. For twostroke petrol lubrication, mineral-based lubricant is still
widely used. This gap must be filled so that the twostroke engine could be lubricated with the same highquality bio-based lubricant as the four-stroke, leads to
better fuel economy and cleaner emission. In this paper a
polyol ester called Trimethylol Propane Trioleate (TMP
TO) blend has been tested for wear performance. Result
shows COF reduction of 7.3% as well as 47.8% less wear
scar diameter compares to mineral-based lubricant.
