Experimental results from Krzan et al. showed that high oleic sunflower oil recorded lesser coefficient of friction than mineral-based oil but promoted higher wear scar diameter. Gear protection properties of sunflower oil are better or equivalent to mineral-based oils. Sunflower oil was stable during spur gear test system test for about 700 h of working and no excessive wear was observed which indicates effective lubrication in the gear box maintained during operation. The presence of tocopherols improves the oxidation stability of unrefined sunflower oil as compared to refined sunflower oils. The addition of ascorbic acid to refined sunflower oil improves its stability by about 2% [30]. Cultivation of high oleic sunflower oil cultivar, a variation in genotype can improve the thermal and oxidation stability of sunflower oils [31].
