Oil will never run out. Civilization will collapse (due to CO2 emissions) before that happens, which will prevent extraction of the remaining (hard to get) oil.
If fossil fuels actually runs out then we'll just use pure plant oils anyways or synthetically create them.
I thought part of the argument though was that renewables are now cheaper.
So what are you going to make the rest of the car from. I think that when oil runs out we’re all screwed, back to XIX century.
Synthetic lubricants have been doable for a long time. It’s not about eliminating the usage, it’s about slowing down consumption.
