Mineral-based oil is a type of lubricant derived from refining crude oil. It consists primarily of alkanes and cycloalkanes, and it is used in various applications, including automotive engines and industrial machinery, due to its effective lubrication properties. Unlike synthetic oils, mineral oils are less chemically complex and often less expensive, but they may not perform as well under extreme temperatures or conditions. They can also contain impurities and additives to enhance their performance and stability.
