For lubricant base oil use, the vegetable derived materials are preferred. Common ones include high oleic canola oil, castor oil, palm oil, sunflower seed oil and rapeseed oil from vegetable, and tall oil from tree sources.

Lubrication is the control of friction and wear by the introduction of a friction-reducing film between moving surfaces in contact. The lubricant used can be a fluid, solid, or plastic substance. Although this is a valid definition, it fails to realize all that lubrication actually achieves.

To create lube oils with different viscosities, heavy oil is distilled into various fractions and residues through a process known as vacuum distillation. These resulting fractions are categorized as fractional lube oils and residual lube oils, each serving different applications due to their varying viscosities.
