Due to the environmental concern and limited resources of petroleum oil and with the growing concern regarding global warming issues, the research for clean alternative biolubricants sources became a must. Among the most demanded sustainable clean energy sources is the Jatropha oil. The leached Jatropha oil used in this research work has explored the possibility of utilizing Jatropha oil as a lubricant and was analyzed for density, viscosity at (40 C?, 100 C?) viscosity index, and the flashpoint which are necessary tests for base oil. Explore the commercial additives for the improvement of the Jatropha oil as a lubricant and comparison of the improved Jatropha oil lubricant against other commercial lubricant oils. The results show that all these properties are satisfactory and give good agreement. In this study, the Jatropha oil was found to be compatible with the required additives which are specified by API BASE OIL CATEGORIES. The experimental tests for these properties were performed as prescribed ASTM procedures, and the results were tabulated and discussed.
