  • the metal can be any metal suitable for making sulfonate, phenate, salicylate or phosphonate detergents.
  • suitable metals include alkali metals, alkaline metals and transition metals.
  • the metal is Ca, Mg, Ba, K, Na, Li or the like.
  • An exemplary metal detergent which may be employed in the lubricating oil compositions includes overbased calcium phenate.
  • a dispersant is an additive whose primary function is to hold solid and liquid contaminations in suspension, thereby passivating them and reducing engine deposits at the same time as reducing sludge depositions.
  • a dispersant maintains in suspension oil-insoluble substances that result from oxidation during use of the lubricant, thus preventing sludge flocculation and precipitation or deposition on metal parts of the engine.
  • Dispersants are usually "ashless", being non-metallic organic materials that form substantially no ash on combustion, in contrast to metal-containing, and hence ash-forming materials. They comprise a long hydrocarbon chain with a polar head, the polarity being derived from inclusion of at least one nitrogen, oxygen or phosphorus atom.
  • the hydrocarbon is an oleophilic group that confers oil-solubility, having, for example, 40 to 500 carbon atoms.
  • ashless dispersants may comprise an oil-soluble polymeric backbone.
  • a preferred class of olefin polymers is constituted by polybutylenes, specifically polyisobutylenes (PIB) or poly-n-butylenes, such as may be prepared by polymerization of a C 4 refinery stream.
  • PIB polyisobutylenes
  • poly-n-butylenes such as may be prepared by polymerization of a C 4 refinery stream.
  • Dispersants include, for example, derivatives of long chain hydrocarbon-substituted carboxylic acids, examples being derivatives of high molecular weight hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic acid.
  • a noteworthy group of dispersants is constituted by hydrocarbon-substituted succinimides, made, for example, by reacting the above acids (or derivatives) with a nitrogen-containing compound, advantageously a polyalkylene polyamine, such as a polyethylene polyamine.
  • Typical commercially available polyisobutylene-based succinimide dispersants contain polyisobutylene polymers having a number average molecular weight ranging from 900 to 2500, functionalized by maleic anhydride, and derivatized with polyamines having a molecular weight of from 100 to 350.
  • Suitable dispersants include succinic esters and ester-amides, Mannich bases, polyisobutylene succinic acid (PIBSA), and other related components.
  • PIBSA polyisobutylene succinic acid
  • Succinic esters are formed by the condensation reaction between hydrocarbon-substituted succinic anhydrides and alcohols or polyols.
  • the condensation product of a hydrocarbon-substituted succinic anhydride and pentaerythritol is a useful dispersant.
  • Succinic ester-amides are formed by condensation reaction between hydrocarbon-substituted succinic anhydrides and alkanol amines.
  • suitable alkanol amines include ethoxylated polyalkylpolyamines, propoxylated polyalkylpolyamines and polyalkenylpolyamines such as polyethylene polyamines.
  • propoxylated hexamethylenediamine is propoxylated hexamethylenediamine.
  • Mannich bases are made from the reaction of an alkylphenols, formaldehyde, and a polyalkylene polyamines. Molecular weights of the alkylphenol may range from 800 to 2500.
  • Nitrogen-containing dispersants may be post-treated by conventional methods to improve their properties by reaction with any of a variety of agents.
  • boron compounds e.g., boric acid
  • cyclic carbonates e.g., ethylene carbonate
  • a friction modifier is any material or materials that can alter the coefficient of friction of a surface lubricated by any lubricant or fluid containing such material(s).
  • Friction modifiers include alkoxylated fatty amines, borated fatty epoxides, fatty phosphites, fatty epoxides, fatty amines, borated alkoxylated fatty amines, metal salts of fatty acids, fatty acid amides, glycerol esters, borated glycerol esters and fatty imidazolines.
  • fatty means a hydrocarbon chain having 10 to 22 carbon atoms, typically a straight hydrocarbon chain.
  • Other known friction modifiers comprise oil-soluble organo-molybdenum compounds. Such organo-molybdenum friction modifiers also provide antioxidant and anti-wear credits to a lubricating oil composition. Suitable oil-soluble organo-molybdenum compounds have a molybdenum-sulfur core. As examples, there may be mentioned dithiocarbamates, dithiophosphates, dithiophosphinates, xanthates, thioxanthates, sulfides, and mixtures thereof. The molybdenum compound may be dinuclear or trinuclear.
  • Corrosion inhibitors protect lubricated metal surfaces against chemical attack by water or other contaminants.
  • Suitable corrosion inhibitors include polyoxyalkylene polyols and esters thereof, polyoxyalkylene phenols, thiadiazoles and anionic alkyl sulfonic acids.
  • Viscosity modifiers provide lubricants with high and low temperature operability. These additives increase the viscosity of the oil composition at elevated temperatures which increases film thickness, while having limited effect on viscosity at low temperatures.
  • Suitable viscosity improvers include high molecular weight hydrocarbons, polyesters and viscosity index improver dispersants that function as both a viscosity index improver and a dispersant.
  • Typical molecular weights of these polymers are in a range of 1000 to 1,000,000 (e.g., 2000 to 500,000 or 25,000 to 100,000).
  • suitable viscosity improvers are polymers and copolymers of methacrylate, butadiene, olefins, or alkylated styrenes.
  • Polyisobutylene is a commonly used viscosity modifier.
  • Another suitable viscosity modifier is polymethacrylate (copolymers of various chain length alkyl methacrylates, for example), some formulations of which also serve as pour point depressants.
  • Other suitable viscosity modifiers include copolymers of ethylene and propylene, hydrogenated block copolymers of styrene and isoprene, and polyacrylates (copolymers of various chain length acrylates, for example). Specific examples include styrene-isoprene or styrene-butadiene based polymers of 50,000 to 200,000 molecular weight.
  • pour point depressants lower the minimum temperature at which a fluid will flow or can be poured.
  • Suitable pour point depressants include C 8 to C 18 dialkyl fumarate/vinyl acetate copolymers, polyalkylmethacrylates and the like.
  • Foam inhibitors retard the formation of stable foams.
  • suitable foam inhibitors include polysiloxanes, polyacrylates, and the like.
  • lubricating oil compositions were prepared having the formulations set forth in the following Examples.
  • the compositions were prepared by mixing the base oil(s) with additive packages according to conventional preparation methods.
  • Base oil properties are listed in Table 3.
  • Deposit performance of the lubricant oil compositions was measured using the Penn State Micro-Oxidation Test after 35 minutes at 260°C (SAE Technical Paper 801362).
