lubricating compositions intended for other applications, such as hydraulic fluids and turbine oils. Heavy duty diesel engine oils formulated using conventionally refined API Group II base oils are known in the art.
Unfortunately, such formulations often suffer from the problem of insufficient detergency performance at high temperatures. It would therefore be desirable to
formulate a lubricating composition for use, in
particular, as a heavy duty diesel engine oil or as a passenger car motor oil which has improved high
temperature detergency performance, and consequently which provides improved engine cleanliness.
Summary of the Invention
According to the present invention there is provided a lubricating composition comprising a base oil blend and one or more additives wherein the base oil blend
comprises : - a distillate naphthenic base oil having a saturates content as measured by IP368 of greater than 92% and comprising less than lOppm of sulphur; and
- a Fischer-Tropsch derived base oil.
It has surprisingly been found that the lubricating composition of the present invention provides improved high temperature detergency performance.
According to another aspect of the present invention there is provided the use of a lubricating composition as described herein as a heavy duty diesel engine oil or a passenger car motor oil.
According to a further aspect of the present
invention there is provided the use of a lubricating composition as described herein for providing improved detergency performance, in particular at high
temperatures.
According to a further aspect of the present
invention there is provided the use of a lubricating composition as described herein for providing improved engine cleanliness.
Detailed Description of the Invention
A first essential component of the lubricating composition of the present invention is a base oil blend. The base oil blend comprises a distillate naphthenic base oil and a Fischer-Tropsch derived base oil.
The naphthenic base oil for use in the base oil blend is a distillate naphthenic base oil having a saturates content as measured by IP368 of greater than 92wt%, preferably greater than 95wt%, and more preferably greater than 98wt%. In addition, the naphthenic base oil for use herein comprises less than lOppm of sulphur, preferably less than 5ppm of sulphur. As used herein the term "distillate base oil" means a base oil that has had a high vacuum distillation
separation processing step whereby the viscosity grade has been fixed by defining the initial and final boiling point of the distillate fraction, prior to or after the
upgrading step {extraction or hydroprocessing) .
The distillate naphthenic base oil used in the base oil blend is preferably present at a level of from 5 wt% to 50 wt%, more preferably at a level of from 10 wt% to 30 wt%, based on the weight of the lubricating composition.
The naphthenic base oils are distillate base oils from naphthenic vacuum distillates obtained by refinery processes starting from naphthenic mineral crude feeds (typically, mineral crude feeds having a TAN (Total Acid Number; ASTM D 664) value of above 0.5 mg KOH/g are naphthenic (high TAN) and below 0.5 mg KOH/g (low TAN) are paraffinic) ; no dewaxing step normally takes place in the preparation of naphthenic base oils (contrary to the preparation of a paraffinic base oil in which a dewaxing step is needed) . Optionally a dewaxing step can be applied if the high TAN crude has some trace residual waxes .
Preferably, the distillate naphthenic base oil used in the base oil blend has an initial boiling point (true boiling point according to ASTM D 2887) of above 350°C, preferably above 370°C, more preferably above 500°C.
Also, the distillate Naphthenic base oil preferably has an aromatic atomic content Cft (according to ASTM D 3238) of below 2 wt . % (for a paraffinic base oil this is typically above 2 wt . % ) .

The present invention is described below with
reference to the following Examples, which are not
intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any way.
Examples
Various lubricating compositions for use as SAE 15W- 40 Heavy Duty Diesel Engine Oils (HDDEOs) (meeting the so- called SAE J300 Specifications as revised in January 2009; SAE stands for Society of Automotive Engineers) were formulated.
Table 1 indicates the properties for the base oils used. Table 2 indicates the composition and properties of the fully formulated Heavy Duty Diesel Engine Oils that were tested. The amounts of the components are given in wt.%, based on the total weight of the compositions.
All tested Heavy Duty Diesel Engine Oils contained a combination of a base oil blend and an additive package {which additive package was the same in all tested compositions) , in addition to a Viscosity Modifier and a pour point depressant.
The "Additive package" was a special performance package for Heavy Duty Diesel Engine Oils and contained a combination of performance additives including over-based detergent, ashless dispersant, zinc anti-wear agent, anti-oxidant , and anti-foam agent.
"Base oil 1" was a naphthenic base oil commercially available from PetroChina (Karamay, China) under the trade designation "KN4010".
"Base oil 2" was a Fischer-Tropsch derived base oil { "GTL 4") having a kinematic viscosity at 100°C (ASTM D445) of approx. 4 cSt (1 cSt corresponds to 1 mm2s_1) . GTL 4 may be conveniently manufactured by or similar to the process described in e.g. WO 02/070631, the teaching of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
"Base oil 3" was a PetroChina naphthenic brightstock termed HVI H150 BSM having a kinematic viscosity at 100 °C (ASTM D445) of approx. 31 cSt.
"Base oil 4" was a GTL 8 cSt base oil having a having a kinematic viscosity at 100°C {ASTM D445) of approx. 8 cSt.
"Base oil 5" was a commercially available API Group II base oil of mineral origin sold by Motiva Enterprises LLC, Tx, USA under the trade name Motiva Star 6.
"Base oil 6" was a commercially available API Group II base oil of mineral origin sold by Formosa Plastic Group, Mailiao, Taiwan under the trade name Formosa SOON.
"Base oil 1" was a commercially available API Group II base oil of mineral origin sold by Formosa Plastic Group, Mailiao, Taiwan under the trade name Formosa 150N.
The compositions of Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were obtained by mixing the base oils with the additive package using conventional lubricant blending procedures.
Detergency Performance
In order to demonstrate the detergency properties of the compositions according to the present invention, detergency measurements were performed according to the industry standard Komatsu Hot Tube Test (at 280°C and 290°C) (Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS)- JIS method no. JPI-5S-55-99) . The measured values (in merits) are indicated in Table 3 below. For the test carried out at 280 °C a pass was deemed to be a value of greater than 7 merits, while a fail was deemed to be a value of 7 merits or less. For the test carried out at 290°C a pass was deemed to be a value of greater than 6 merits, while a fail was deemed to be a value of 6 merits or less. Two merit measurements were taken for each example at each temperature (designated as "Merit 1" and "Merit 2" in Table 3 below) .
Further the amount of deposits was also measured for each example, again according to the industry standard Komatsu Hot Tube Test (Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS)- JIS method no. JPI-5S-55-99) . The amount of deposits measured in each example is shown below in Table 3.
Discussion
As can be learned from Table 3, it has been
surprisingly found that the HDDEO composition according to the present invention (Examples 1 and 2) had improved detergency performance in the Komatsu Hot Tube Test compared to the HDDEO compositions based on normal mineral API Group II base oils (Comparative Examples 1-2 which contained the same additive, Viscosity Modifier and pour point depressant, in the same amounts, as the formulations of Examples 1 and 2) . In particular, in the Komatsu Hot Tube Test carried out at 280 °C, Example 1 had an average cleaniless merit of 7.3 (i.e. obtaining a "pass" in the test) and' Example 2 had an average cleaniless merit of 9.0 (i.e. obtaining a "pass" in the test) while Comparative Examples 1 and 2 both had an average cleanliness merit of 6.0 (thereby obtaining a "fail" in the test). In the Komatsu Hot Tube Test carried out at 290°C, while Example 1 obtained a "fail" in the test, it obtained a higher average cleaniless merit than those of Comparative Examples 1 and 2, indicating improved detergency performance for the composition of Example 1.
Turning to the deposits results, at 280°C and 290°C Example 2 exhibited significantly reduced deposits compared to Comparative Examples 1 and 2 indicating improved detergency performance for Example 2.
