Base Oil is a refined petroleum product that serves as the foundational component in the formulation of lubricants, including engine oils, greases, and industrial lubricants. It is produced through the refining of crude oil or through synthetic processes and is categorized based on its viscosity, purity, and performance characteristics. Base oil provides the essential lubricating properties, such as reducing friction, cooling engine parts, and preventing corrosion. It is available in various grades, including SN150 and SN500, and is critical in determining the quality and performance of the final lubricant products.
