Lubricant oils play essential role in manufacturing processes for reducing friction and wear between contact parts at different speeds. Palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) is a new source from vegetable oil and has potential as an alternative source of mineral lubricant oils. This study was performed at various speeds (800, 1200, and 1600 rpm) and at a constant load (392N), temperature (75°C), and time (1 h) using a four-ball tribotester. To evaluate the PFAD results, similar experiments were done using hydraulic oil, and the results were compared mutually. The results showed that the anti-friction, anti-wear, viscosity, and flash temperature parameter (FTP) of PFAD were higher than those of hydraulic mineral oil.
