Mineral oils are a mixture of liquid hydrocarbons obtained from crude oil by different methods of distillation and refining. The proportion of mineral oils compared to total crude oil production is quite low, i.e., about 1.5% and only about 15% out of this proportion represents mineral oils used as process fluids.

The structure of mineral oils is complex. In addition to liquid hydrocarbons with a wide range of molecular and specific weights, there are impurities of sulphur, oxygen, and nitrogen compounds. Thousands of different organic compounds have been identified in the composition of crude oil. Nevertheless, the percentage composition of most types of oil is quite uniform

Mineral oils such as petrol, fuel oils, and petroleum distillates in general, do not attack matured concrete, although they seriously affect the hardening of fresh concrete. Such straight petroleum oils do not contain any constituents which react chemically with cement compounds, and their action on fresh concrete is a physical one by which their immiscibility with water impedes hydration of the cement. Although mineral oils have no chemical action on concrete, it is difficult to make concrete impermeable to them, and in the case of the lighter oils, virtually impossible.

Most applications of lube oils require that they be nonresinous, pale-colored, odorless, and oxidation-resistant. Over a dozen physical and chemical tests are used to classify and determine the grade of lubricating oils. Common physical tests include measurements for viscosity, specific gravity, and color, while typical chemical tests include those for flash and fire points.

Of all the properties, viscosity, a lube oil's resistance to flow at specific temperatures and pressures, is probably the single most important one. The application and operating temperature range are key factors in determining the proper viscosity for an oil. For example, if the oil is too viscous, it offers too much resistance to the metal parts moving against each other. On the other hand, if it not viscous enough, it will be squeezed out from between the mating surfaces and will not be able to lubricate them sufficiently. The Saybolt Standard Universal Viscometer is the standard instrument for determining viscosity of petroleum lubricants between 70 and 210 degrees Fahrenheit (21 and 99 degrees Celsius). Viscosity is measured in the Say bolt Universal second, which is the time in seconds required for 50 milliliters of oil to empty out of a Saybolt viscometer cup through a calibrated tube orifice at a given temperature.

The specific gravity of an oil depends on the refining method and the types of additives present, such as lead, which gives the lube oil the ability to resist extreme mating surface pressure and cold temperatures. The lube oil's color indicates the uniformity of a particular grade or brand. The oil's flash and fire points vary with the crude oil's origin. The flash point is the temperature to which an oil has to be heated until sufficient flammable vapor is driven off so that it will flash when brought into contact with a flame. The fire point is the higher temperature at which the oil vapor will continue to burn when ignited.

Common engine oils are classified by viscosity and performance according to specifications established by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). Performance factors include wear prevention, oil sludge deposit formation, and oil thickening.
