The sources of the petroleum crude oils are decreasing day by day and there is the great risk of exhaustion of the current available reserves. The price of oil is increasing rapidly in market and crude oil is available at higher cost, especially in India. The mineral oils are the great threat to the environment and health due to their high eco-toxicity and low biodegradability features. The diesel oil contaminates the soil, air and drinking water and affects the plant and human life upto a great extent. Vegetable oils are the best alternative options for the lubricating oils used in auto vehicle and industrial applications. The high oleic contents make the vegetable oils environment friendly and cheaper. The non-edible vegetable plants contain larger amount of oils in their seeds that can be converted into biolubricants and further use engines and industrial applications. Biolubricants are renewable lubricants and having zero greenhouse effect, nontoxic and biodegradable. The research article presents the review of the different vegetable oils and their fatty acid contents. The tribological or friction behavior of the oils is also studied. The reviewed oils are Mahua, Coconut, Palm, Sal, Neem, Olive, Castor, Canola, Cashew nut and Jatropha.
