The base oil market consists of sales of base oil by entities (organizations, sole traders, and partnerships) that are produced from refining crude oil or synthetic material.It is the most commonly used lubricating oil.

Base oil is classified as hydrocarbons with 18 to 40 carbon atoms that have a boiling point between 550 and 1050 F. The various products such as lubricating oils, motor oil, metal processing fluids, and others are manufactured with the help of base oils.

The main types of base oil are mineral, synthetic, and bio-based.The mineral oil is produced from a highly refined variant of ground-based oil.

Mineral oils are widely utilized by classic and vintage automobile owners, in part as synthetic oils have a lower viscosity, which enhances the risk of leaks in older engines. The different groups include Group I, Group II, Group III, Group IV, Group V and is used in automotive oil, industrial oil, metalworking fluid, greases, hydraulic oil, and others.
