Definitions

  • the present invention relates to automotive lubricating oil compositions, more especially to automotive lubricating oil compositions for use in piston engines, especially gasoline (spark-ignited) and diesel (compression-ignited) crankcase lubrication, such compositions being referred to as crankcase lubricants.
  • the present invention relates to use of additives with friction modification properties in automotive lubricating oil compositions.
  • crankcase lubricant is an oil used for general lubrication in an internal combustion engine where an oil sump is situated generally below the crankshaft of the engine and to which circulated oil returns. It is well known to include additives in crankcase lubricants for several purposes.
  • Friction modifiers also referred to as friction-reducing agents, may be boundary additives that operate by lowering friction coefficient and hence improve fuel economy; the art describes use of glycerol monoesters as friction modifiers, for example in US-A-4,495,088 ; US-A-4,683,069 ; EP-A-0 092 946 ; and WO-A-01/72933 . Glycerol monoester friction modifiers have been and are used commercially.
  • Lubricant specifications are becoming more exacting.
  • PCMO passenger car motor oil
  • Known friction modifiers such as glycerol monoesters may not be able to meet those requirements at moderate treat rates.
  • US-A-5,840,662 ('662) describes, as a friction modifier, a succinic anhydride that is mono-substituted with a depicted C 6 to C 30 isomerized alkenyl group, or its fully saturated alkyl analog.
  • '662 is mainly concerned with power transmitting fluids but briefly alludes to applicability to "a wide variety of lubricating oils (e.g. , crankcase engine oils, etc.)".
  • '662 makes no mention of fuel economy retention.
  • the present invention meets the above problem by providing, as crankcase lubricant friction modifiers, certain organic acid anhydrides carrying aliphatic hydrocarbyl groups.
  • the hydrocarbyl groups are linear (i.e. unbranched).
  • the present invention provides a crankcase lubricating oil composition comprising or made by admixing
  • the present invention provides a method of enabling a passenger car motor oil composition to achieve a reduced boundary friction coefficient when the oil is fresh and to retain that boundary friction performance under oxidative conditions, which method comprises providing the composition with minor amounts of one or more additives (B) as defined in the first aspect of the invention.
  • the oil may meet the viscosity-dependent fuel economy specifications of GF-4 as measured on the sequence VIB engine test.
  • the present invention provides a method of lubricating surfaces of an internal combustion engine during its operation comprising:
  • the oil of lubricating viscosity (sometimes referred to as “base stock” or “base oil”) is the primary liquid constituent of a lubricant, into which additives and possibly other oils are blended, for example to produce a final lubricant (or lubricant composition). Also, a base oil is useful for making concentrates as well as for making lubricants therefrom.
  • a base oil may be selected from natural (vegetable, animal or mineral) and synthetic lubricating oils and mixtures thereof. It may range in viscosity from light distillate mineral oils to heavy lubricating oils such as gas engine oil, mineral lubricating oil, motor vehicle oil and heavy duty diesel oil. Generally the viscosity of the oil ranges from 2 to 30, especially 5 to 20, mm 2 s -1 at 100°C.
  • Natural oils include animal and vegetable oils (e.g. castor and lard oil), liquid petroleum oils and hydrorefined, solvent-treated mineral lubricating oils of the paraffinic, naphthenic and mixed paraffinic-naphthenic types. Oils of lubricating viscosity derived from coal or shale are also useful base oils.
  • Synthetic lubricating oils include hydrocarbon oils such as polymerized and interpolymerized olefins (e.g. polybutylenes, polypropylenes, propylene-isobutylene copolymers, chlorinated polybutylenes, poly(1-hexenes), poly(1-octenes), poly(1-decenes)); alkylbenzenes (e.g. dodecylbenzenes, tetradecylbenzenes, dinonylbenzenes, di(2-ethylhexyl)benzenes); polyphenols (e.g. biphenyls, terphenyls, alkylated polyphenols); and alkylated diphenyl ethers and alkylated diphenyl sulfides and the derivatives, analogues and homologues thereof.
  • hydrocarbon oils such as polymerized and interpolymerized olefins (e.g. polybut
  • Another suitable class of synthetic lubricating oils comprises the esters of dicarboxylic acids (e.g. phthalic acid, succinic acid, alkyl succinic acids and alkenyl succinic acids, maleic acid, azelaic acid, suberic acid, sebasic acid, fumaric acid, adipic acid, linoleic acid dimer, malonic acid, alkylmalonic acids, alkenyl malonic acids) with a variety of alcohols (e.g. butyl alcohol, hexyl alcohol, dodecyl alcohol, 2-ethylhexyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol monoether, propylene glycol).
  • dicarboxylic acids e.g. phthalic acid, succinic acid, alkyl succinic acids and alkenyl succinic acids, maleic acid, azelaic acid, suberic acid, sebasic acid, fumaric acid, adipic acid, linoleic acid dim
  • esters include dibutyl adipate, di(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate, di-n-hexyl fumarate, dioctyl sebacate, diisooctyl azelate, diisodecyl azelate, dioctyl phthalate, didecyl phthalate, dieicosyl sebacate, the 2-ethylhexyl diester of linoleic acid dimer, and the complex ester formed by reacting one mole of sebacic acid with two moles of tetraethylene glycol and two moles of 2-ethylhexanoic acid.
  • Esters useful as synthetic oils also include those made from C 5 to C 12 monocarboxylic acids and polyols, and polyol ethers such as neopentyl glycol, trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol, dipentaerythritol and tripentaerythritol.
  • Unrefined, refined and re-refined oils can be used in the compositions of the present invention.
  • Unrefined oils are those obtained directly from a natural or synthetic source without further purification treatment.
  • a shale oil obtained directly from retorting operations a petroleum oil obtained directly from distillation or ester oil obtained directly from an esterification process and used without further treatment would be unrefined oil.
  • Refined oils are similar to the unrefined oils except they have been further treated in one or more purification steps to improve one or more properties. Many such purification techniques, such as distillation, solvent extraction, acid or base extraction, filtration and percolation are known to those skilled in the art.
  • Re-refined oils are obtained by processes similar to those used to obtain refined oils applied to refined oils which have been already used in service. Such re-refined oils are also known as reclaimed or reprocessed oils and often are additionally processed by techniques for removing spent additive and oil breakdown products.
  • base oil examples include gas-to-liquid (“GTL”) base oils, i.e. the base oil may be an oil derived from Fischer-Tropsch synthesised hydrocarbons made from synthesis gas containing H 2 and CO using a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst. These hydrocarbons typically require further processing in order to be useful as a base oil. For example, they may, by methods known in the art, be hydroisomerized; hydrocracked and hydroisomerized; dewaxed; or hydroisomerized and dewaxed.
  • GTL gas-to-liquid
  • Base oil may be categorised in Groups I to V according to the American Petroleum Institute (API) publication " Engine Oil Licensing and Certification System", Industry Services Department, Fourtenth Edition, December 1996, Addendum 1, December 1998 ; 1509 definition.

  • multiple dithiophosphoric acids can be prepared where the hydrocarbyl groups on one acid are entirely secondary in character and the hydrocarbyl groups on the other acids are entirely primary in character.
  • any basic or neutral zinc compound could be used but the oxides, hydroxides and carbonates are most generally employed. Commercial additives frequently contain an excess of zinc due to use of an excess of the basic zinc compound in the neutralisation reaction.
  • Anti-wear agents reduce friction and excessive wear and are usually based on compounds containing sulfur or phosphorous or both, for example that are capable of depositing polysulfide films on the surfaces involved.
  • dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphates such as the zinc dialkyl dithiophosphates (ZDDP's) discussed herein.
  • ashless anti-wear agents examples include 1,2,3-triazoles, benzotriazoles, thiadiazoles, sulfurised fatty acid esters, and dithiocarbamate derivatives.
  • Rust and corrosion inhibitors serve to protect surfaces against rust and/or corrosion.
  • rust inhibitors there may be mentioned non-ionic polyoxyalkylene polyols and esters thereof, polyoxyalkylene phenols, and anionic alkyl sulfonic acids.
  • Pour point depressants otherwise known as lube oil flow improvers, lower the minimum temperature at which the oil will flow or can be poured.
  • Such additives are well known. Typical of these additive are C 8 to C 18 dialkyl fumerate/vinyl acetate copolymers and polyalkylmethacrylates.
  • Additives of the polysiloxane type for example silicone oil or polydimethyl siloxane, can provide foam control .
  • a small amount of a demulsifying component may be used.
  • a preferred demulsifying component is described in EP-A-330,522 . It is obtained by reacting an alkylene oxide with an adduct obtained by reaction of a bis-epoxide with a polyhydric alcohol.
  • the demulsifier should be used at a level not exceeding 0.1 mass % active ingredient. A treat rate of 0.001 to 0.05 mass % active ingredient is convenient.
  • Viscosity modifiers impart high and low temperature operability to a lubricant.
  • Viscosity modifiers that also function as dispersants are also known and may be prepared as described above for ashless dispersants.
  • these dispersant viscosity modifiers are functionalised polymers (e.g. interpolymers of ethylene-propylene post grafted with an active monomer such as maleic anhydride) which are then derivatised with, for example, an alcohol or amine.
  • the lubricant may be formulated with or without a conventional viscosity modifier and with or without a dispersant viscosity modifier.
  • Suitable compounds for use as viscosity modifiers are generally high molecular weight hydrocarbon polymers, including polyesters.
  • Oil-soluble viscosity modifying polymers generally have weight average molecular weights of from 10,000 to 1,000,000, preferably 20,000 to 500,000, which may be determined by gel permeation chromatography or by light scattering.
  • nODSA, 2H-nODSA and isoODSA were commercially available materials.
  • PIBSA was made by known methods.
  • each of the above friction modifiers was blended separately into a lubricating oil composition (Oil A) at a treat rate of 0.5 wt % to give a set of test lubricants.
  • each lubricant was the same and comprised an adpack consisting of detergents, antifoam, dispersants, antioxidant and diluent blended with a viscosity modifier, pour point depressant, base stock and the friction modifier.
  • a high frequency reciprocating rig (“HFRR") was used to evaluate the coefficient of friction of certain of the above lubricants. Experimentation was carried out using a step ramp profile: coefficient of friction was measured for 5 minutes at each temperature as the temperature was increased from 40°C to 140° at 20°C intervals. A 4 N load was applied via a 400 g weight and the upper specimen reciprocated over a distance of 1 mm at a frequency of 40 Hz.
  • Table 2 sets out results of a second set of experiments in the same way as in Table 1 (treat rates are 0.5 wt %).
