Can significantly find out by top data, the composition that contains viscosity modifier of the present invention and the composition that contains the viscosity modifier outside the scope of the invention relatively also show comparable VE sludge and paint film even contain the oil that viscosity modifier of the present invention only contains the viscosity modifier of the Mannich dispersant of half amount of comparative example C and comparative example 1.In addition, significantly as can be seen, the oil that contains viscosity modifier of the present invention and the similar oil ratio that contains the viscosity modifier outside the scope of the invention demonstrate improved (promptly reducing) CCS.By this improvement of low-temperature performance, people just can prepare contain a spot of or even do not have unconventional, i.e. synthetic oil, the lubricating oil composition of poly-alpha olefins for example, and still satisfy the performance requriements of described crankcase oil.The mineral oil of a large amount that can use more that is not expected to is prepared lubricating oil of the present invention and is not reduced performance, and just making has bigger formulation flexibility and cost saving.
The dispersing agent performance of product of the present invention is set forth in the following table 4.It is dispersed to use sludge dispersivity test (SDT) to measure.This test determination dispersion agent suspends and the ability of desludging thin layer with blotting paper.When using the dispersion agent candidate, remove 2 rings of formation that deoil with blotting paper, ring constitutes the sludge that is passed on by dispersion agent in this, and this outer shroud comprises base oil.The effect of this dispersion agent is by the definition of the ratio of the diameter of the diameter of interior ring and outer shroud.For specific candidate, the high more then performance as the candidate of dispersion agent of this ratio is good more.In each test, the additive of 6% (weight) is mixed with the used oil of extreme of 94% VE testing of engine.This used oil, when 149 ℃ of store overnight, obtain 30-35% by on blotting paper not the diameter of the interior ring of dispersive sludge take advantage of 100 dispersivenesses that define with the ratio of the diameter of outer oil ring.

Result in the above-mentioned table 4 shows that the additive outside the product of the present invention and the scope of the invention compares, and demonstrates excellent dispersion properties (being higher SDT result).
When fluid film is thinned to boundary lubrication just taking place when being enough to make that relative metallic surface is interact with each other, just increases when this interacts to rub when taking place.In engine, the increase of friction just makes fuel economy reduce.
This boundary friction of fluidic can use the reciprocal equipment of high frequency (High Frequency ReciprocatingRig) (HFRR) to measure.This HFRR crosses plate by ball of vibration in the sample box that contains the 1-2ml sample to be operated.Can control vibrational frequency, ball horizontal throw path length, be added to load and test temperature on the ball.By controlling these parameters, can measure fluidic boundary friction performance.
New polymeric additive of the present invention and comparison dispersion agent are blended in the SAE 5W-30 full formula automotive engine oil." Predicting Seq.VI and VIA Fuel Economy from Laboratory Bench Test " byC.Bovington, identical condition described in the V.Anghel and H.A.Spikes (SAE Technical Paper 961142), be under the condition of 4N load, 1mm path length, 20Hz frequency, use HFRR to measure these fluidic boundary friction performances.Measure frictional behaviour at 130 ℃.
Table 5 explanation, with contain be less than 0.3-0.5 carboxyl/1000Mn multi-functional multipolymer relatively, the multi-functional multipolymer of new high graft of the present invention is joined the improvement of resulting boundary friction result in the automotive engine oil.As mentioned above, lower boundary friction result represents the fuel economy improved.Used in the following embodiments multi-functional olefinic copolymer viscosity modifier is the ethylene-propylene copolymer of number-average molecular weight about 40000, and this number-average molecular weight is to measure by gel permeation chromatography with by the general standard verification that the method for the above embodiments I and Comparative Example I is prepared.Table 5 has been listed the mole number of the carboxyl of every 1000Mn, the amount and the boundary friction result of ethylene-propylene copolymer viscosity index improver.Embodiment 1-16 contains the low-molecular-weight olefin copolymer dispersion agent of having bought on the market, has also listed used amount among each embodiment in the table.The Mannich dispersant that contains 2.0% routine among the embodiment 9-16 in addition.
All test oils all are based on the passenger vehicle automotive engine oil of SAE 5W-30 full formula.This oil is to prepare with the purification agent of having bought on the market, ZDDP, oxidation inhibitor, defoamer, pour point depressant, rust-preventive agent, viscosity index improver, friction improver and dilution treated oil.
