DEF

tallow oil: An animal oil obtained by pressing tallow and used chiefly as a lubricant especially when mixed with minerals oils.

OBS

tallow: The fat or adipose tissue of an animal ...; suet.

OBS

Source WEBIN gives to the term "oleo oil" a slightly different definition, as follows: "a yellow oil of buttery consistency expressed usually from edible tallow and used in making margarine and soap and in lubrication". Since it seems to possess a more general sense than "tallow oil", a translation solution could be to use the generic French equivalent "huile grasse".

OBS

"Oleo oil" is also a term used as a synonym for "oleomargarine" in the United States. See this other record in Termium.
