The physicochemical properties such as density (0.8936±0.00008165 g/ml), viscosity (83.32±0.193cP/P), refractive index (1.4540±0.00036), pH (5.89±0.084 mol/L H+), acid value (13.9±0.3 mgKOH/g), saponification value (283.305±23.24 mgKOH/g) and iodine value (20.7±5.77 mgI2/g) of the crude oil was determined. The transesterification process was carried out by optimizing reaction conditions using the One-Factor (OFAC) at a time method. The biodiesel produced from optimum conditions had density (0.877±0.001g/ml), iodine value (13.97±1.037 mgI2/g) and cetane index (76.215±0.531). The results also gave a kinematic viscosity (7.87±0.531 mm²/s), pour point (8.667±0.943°C), acid value (0.92±0.145 mgKOH/g) and saponification value (161.75±11.017 mgKOH/g).
