This paper reports the optimization of base oils composition involving oleate-based bio-lubricant that results in minimal wear-scar diameter (WSD) and coefficient of friction (COF) using mixture technique (MT) with simplex-lattice design (SLD). The lubricants used were neopenthylglycol dioleate (NPG...
