Up-to-date lubricants mats fulfil a lot of various requirements. Most of them are largely related on properties of the base oil. One of the most important properties of complete lubricant as well as base oil is durability [1]. At present days increasing demand in environmentally friendly lubricants increase demand in vegetable oil as main base stock for such kind of lubricants [2], The vegetable oil as base stock has good lubricity and excellent environmental properties [3]. Unfortunately it has poor thermal and hydrolytic stability [3, 4]. The changes in the vegetable oil was investigates for a lot of authors [5]. Nevertheless the influence of thermal oxidation on trobological properties is not sufficient. The aim of current study is to determine the trobological properties of thermally oxidized rapeseed oil.
