In this work the performance of graphene based nanolubricant using a 4-stroke IC engine test rig is investigated. A nanolubricant is formulated using graphene nanoflakes and engine oil meeting API 20W50 SN/CF and API 20W50 SJ/CF specifications. The addition of 0.01wt% graphene to API 20W50 SN/CF res...
