Definitions

• the present invention generally relates to lubricating oil compositions for reducing wear in engines.
• Automobile spark ignition and diesel engines have valve train systems including, for example, valves, cams and rocker arms, which present special lubrication concerns. It is extremely important that the lubricant, i.e., the engine oil, protects these parts from wear. It is also important for the engine oils to suppress the production of deposits in the engines. Such deposits are produced from non-combustibles and incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels (e.g., gasoline and diesel fuel oil) and by the deterioration of the engine oil employed.
• hydrocarbon fuels e.g., gasoline and diesel fuel oil
• Engine oils typically use a mineral oil or a synthetic oil as a base oil.
• base oils are formulated with various additives, for imparting auxiliary functions, such as ashless dispersants, metallic detergents (i.e., metal-containing detergents), antiwear agents, antioxidants (i.e., oxidation inhibitors), viscosity index improvers and the like to give a formulated oil (i.e., a lubricating oil composition).
• auxiliary functions such as ashless dispersants, metallic detergents (i.e., metal-containing detergents), antiwear agents, antioxidants (i.e., oxidation inhibitors), viscosity index improvers and the like to give a formulated oil (i.e., a lubricating oil composition).
• zinc dialkyldithiophosphates are usually contained in the commercially available internal composition engine oils, especially those used for automobiles, because of their favorable characteristics as an antiwear agent and performance as an oxidation inhibitor.
• a problem associated with the use of zinc dialkyldithiophosphate is that their phosphorus and sulfur derivatives poison the catalyst components of the catalytic converters. This is a major concern as effective catalytic converters are needed to reduce pollution and to meet governmental regulation designed to reduce toxic gases such as, for example, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides, in internal combustion engine exhaust emissions.
• Such catalytic converters generally use a combination of catalytic metals, e.g., platinum and metal oxides, and are installed in the exhaust streams, e.g., the exhaust pipes of automobiles, to convert the toxic gases to nontoxic gases.
• catalytic metals e.g., platinum and metal oxides
• these catalyst components are poisoned by the phosphorus and sulfur components, or the phosphorus and sulfur decomposition product of the zinc dialkyldithiophosphate; and accordingly, the use of engine oils containing phosphorus and sulfur additives may substantially reduce the life and effectiveness of catalytic converters.
• a lubricating oil composition comprising (a) a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity, (b) an ashless dispersant, (c) at least one metal-containing detergent, (d) an antioxidant, and (e) an anti-wear agent, wherein the lubricating oil composition is free of any zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate compound and further wherein the lubricating oil composition is substantially free of any phosphorus content.
• a lubricating oil composition comprising (a) a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity, (b) an ashless dispersant, (c) at least one metal-containing detergent, (d) an antioxidant, and (e) an anti-wear agent, wherein the lubricating oil composition is free of any zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate compound and is substantially free of any phosphorus content, and further wherein the lubricating oil composition has a wear reducing property greater than that of a corresponding lubricating oil composition in which a zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate compound is present therein.
• a method for improving the wear reducing properties of a lubricating oil composition comprising the step of forming a lubricating oil composition comprising (a) a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity, (b) an ashless dispersant, (c) at least one metal-containing detergent, (d) an antioxidant, and (e) an anti-wear agent, wherein the lubricating oil composition is free of any zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate compound and is substantially free of any phosphorus content.
• a method of reducing wear in an internal combustion engine which comprises operating the internal combustion engine with a lubricating oil composition comprising (a) a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity, (b) an ashless dispersant, (c) at least one metal-containing detergent, (d) an antioxidant, and (e) an anti-wear agent, wherein the lubricating oil composition is free of any zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate compound and is substantially free of any phosphorus content.
• an internal combustion engine lubricated with a lubricating oil composition comprising (a) a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity, (b) an ashless dispersant, (c) at least one metal-containing detergent, (d) an antioxidant, and (e) an anti-wear agent, wherein the lubricating oil composition is free of any zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate compound and is substantially free of any phosphorus content.
• the lubricating oil composition of the present invention advantageously possesses improved wear reducing properties while containing no zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate compound as compared to a corresponding lubricating oil composition in which a zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate compound is present therein.
• zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate is a known antiwear agent typically used in lubricating oil compositions.
• the improved wear reducing properties can be achieved with the lubricating oil compositions of the present invention while also employing relatively low levels or free of any phosphorus content and relatively low levels of sulfur.
• Figure 1 is a bar graph comparing the wear performance of the lubricating oil composition of Example 1 versus the lubricating oil compositions of Comparative Examples A and B.
• the present invention is directed to a lubricating oil composition containing at least (a) a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity; (b) an ashless dispersant; (c) at least one metal-containing detergent; (d) an antioxidant; and (e) an anti-wear agent other than a zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate compound, wherein the lubricating oil composition is free of any zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate compound and is substantially free of any phosphorus content, e.g., a phosphorus content not exceeding 0.08 wt. %, more preferably not exceeding 0.05 wt.
• the lubricating oil composition of the present invention contains relatively low levels of sulfur, i.e., not exceeding 0.7 wt. % and preferably not exceeding 0.2 wt. %.
• the amount of phosphorus and sulfur in the lubricating oil composition of the present invention is measured according to ASTM D4951.
• the oil of lubricating viscosity for use in the lubricating oil compositions of this invention is typically present in a major amount, e.g., an amount of greater than 50 wt. %, preferably greater than about 70 wt. %, more preferably from about 80 to about 99.5 wt. % and most preferably from about 85 to about 98 wt. %, based on the total weight of the composition.

• Example 1 The lubricating oil composition of Example 1 and the lubricating oil compositions of Comparative Examples A and B were evaluated using a PCS Instruments Ltd., London UK, Mini-Traction Machine (MTM) bench test.
• MTM Mini-Traction Machine
• the PCS MTM instrument was modified so that a 1/4-in. diameter Falex 52100 steel test ball (with special holder) was substituted for the pin holder that came with the instrument (see, e.g., Yamaguchi, E. S., "Friction and Wear Measurements Using a Modified MTM Tribometer," IP.com Journal 7, Vol. 2, 9, pp 57-58 (August 2002), No. IPCOM000009117D; and Yamaguchi, E.
• Engine soot obtained from the overhead recovery system of an engine testing facility was used for this test. Mineral oil was added to the soot before it was shipped. Therefore, the soot has to be washed prior to the test. It was made into a thin slurry with pentane. The slurry was stirred for a few minutes before it was filtered through a Whatman Number 2 filter paper over a Buchner funnel. The precipitate was made into a thin slurry again and filtered through a Whatman Number 2 filter paper again. The precipitate was then dried in a vacuum oven at 20 inch vacuum and 90 0 C for more than 16 hours. The dried soot was then sieved through a 50 mesh (300 ⁇ m maximum) before use. The objective of this operation was to remove the oil and other impurities so that reproducible particles are made and they would give rise to abrasive wear as seen in modern exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) engines.

• the MTM wear result of the lubricating oil composition of Example 1 is lower than the lubricating oil composition of Comparative Example B, which is a standard lubricant containing a relatively high amount of zinc dihydrocarbyl dithiophophate.
