The growing awareness for achieving a pollution free environment has gained significant importance in green technology to synthesize ‘eco-friendly’ biobased products. In this paper efforts have been made to manufacture lubricants that are biobased and hence biodegradable in nature. The chemical and physical properties such as density, acid value, saponification value, viscosity at 400C and 1000C, viscosity index of crude Mahua oil and Karanja oil were analyzed. Such oils with the high oleic acid content are considered to be the best alternative source to substitute the mineral oil based lubricating oils. Esterification and Transesterification process was used to convert the oils into oil methyl esters (biodiesel). Further esterification of oil methyl ester with polyol alcohol like trimethylolpropane (TMP) was carried out. The mixture of these di-esters and tri-esters which is obtained is called bilubricant. Properties of resulted products which are Mahua Biolubricant and Karanja Biolubricant were found out and compared with 2T commercial engine oil.
