In an Engineering situation, a particular machine is selected on the basis of its reliability and life span. The life span and reliability are in turn governed by the frictional wear characteristics of individual component of machine. The life of any machine is determined by the life of its most sensitive part that is susceptible to wear. In Tribological system “piston -ring-liner” observed 40-50% of mechanical frictional losses. To reduce such losses Lubricants perform as anti-friction media. They maintain reliable machine functions, provide smooth operations, and lower the risks of frequent failures. To manufacture lubricant important source is Crude oil. But in today’s scenario, crude oil increasing prices as well as depletion of crude oil reserves in the world, and global concerning protecting the environment from pollution have renewed interesting developing and using environment-friendly lubricants derived from alternative sources. A bio lubricant is renewable lubricants that is non-hazardous, biodegradable and emits approximately zero greenhouse gas. The objective is to presents the potential of a bio lubricant based on jetrofa oil as an alternative lubricant. The mechanical properties as well as advantages and disadvantages of the different piston ring material are discussed in the first section. The second part describes the potential of jetrofa oil-based bio lubricants as alternative lubricants. The final part describes the simulation effect of bio-lubricants on piston ring liner system.
