      abstract = {To reduce fossil fuel dependence and greenhouse gases, biomass energy is in high demand. Sandbox tree is a widely distributed plant in Abia state and yet, its seed oil is unsuitable for consumption. In this study to determine the usability of sandbox seed oil as a feedstock for biodiesel and biolubricant production, the sandbox seeds were collected from Uturu local government of Abia state. This work centered on modification of sandbox oil (SBO)extracted from sandbox seed (SBS), for possible use as biolubricant. Solvent extraction method was used for extracting oil from the seed. The oil modifications were done using transesterification method with trimethylolpropane. The physicochemical characterizations of the SBO and SBO biolubricants samples were done using standard methods. Furthermore, the oil samples were characterized by Gas chromatography (GC) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) in other to determine the fatty acid compositions and functional groups respectively. Results showed that transesterification method with trimethylolpropane produced a good lubricant. Temperature, time and particle sizes were the factors affecting the extraction of sandbox oil. The viscosities at 40 ?C and 100 ?C, viscosity index, specific gravity, pour point, and flash point values of sandboxoil biolubricant (SBOBLT) samples were 48.43 cSt, 11.65 cSt, 139, 0.990 g/ml, - 11 ?C and 235 ?C, respectively. It is concluded that while SBO gave relatively high yield of oil, sandbox oil biolubricant sample exhibited high biolubricant properties.},
