Abstract
Obtaining the commercial lubricating oils through an industrial method is a process which has an extensive complexity, requiring a very special attention paid to the final products quality. In this field, any new mixing compound, any new additive and any process improvement is more than welcome. Using the so called optimal mixing recipes � in order to get commercial lubricating oils by the base oils and corresponding additives � is a common way to lower the production cost and increase its quality. This paper proposes an original software tool, developed by the authors, which offers these recipes based on the final mixture properties (explicitly given). The application is built-up around the nonlinear programming and runs under MATLAB� environment. It is a remarkably robust application, with good functionality and accuracy. Its performance is proved both in theory and practice, after laboratory experimental tests.

The lubricating oils are fabricated by a mixture recipe of base oils and additives
This paper deals with getting a minimal production cost for a commercial lubricating oil volumetric unity, which is a compulsory optimization for obtaining the base oils mixtures with their imposed properties
Summary
Obtaining the commercial lubricating oils through an industrial method is a process which has an extensive complexity, requiring a very special attention paid to the final products quality. This paper deals with getting a minimal production cost for a commercial lubricating oil volumetric unity, which is a compulsory optimization for obtaining the base oils mixtures with their imposed properties. The base oils are characterized by only three properties (viscosity, pour point, flash point) because
