Definitions

  • the disclosed technology relates to lubricants, particularly for internal combustion engines including diesel engines.
  • the disclosed technology relates to lower viscosity lubricating compositions which provide improved protection against adhesive wear.
  • Adhesive wear occurs when material from two mated metal parts is transferred unevenly from one part to the other due to a lubricant's inability to maintain separation of the two parts or inability to maintain a low enough temperature in the system. In these cases, the mated parts develp micro-welds which are then torn away as the two parts move away from each other. Adhesive wear is often addressed by increasing the viscosisty of the lubricant and/or by increasing the amount of anti-wear addtives in the lubricating composition.
  • Certain lubricating compositions such as crankcase lubricants, are being formulated with lower high temperature high shear (HTHS) viscosities in order to improve fuel economy.
  • some lubricating compositions are being formulated with lower levels of anti-wear additives, in particular, phosphorous or sulfur containing anti-wear additives, for environmental reasons.
  • anti-wear additives in particular, phosphorous or sulfur containing anti-wear additives
  • the reduction in HTHS viscosity and/or anti-wear additives generally causes an increase in adhesive wear on the metal to metal surfaces.
  • the present invention is directed to a lubricating composition
  • a lubricating composition comprising an oil of lubricating viscosity, one or more metal-containing sulfur-free detergents derived from an alkylphenol in an amount to deliver at least 0.2 weight percent alkylphenol- containing soap to the composition, one or more alkaline earth metal sulfonate detergents in an amount to deliver at least 0.8% by weight sulfonate soap to the composition, 1 wt % to 4.5 wt % of one or more polyisobutenyl succinimide dispersants, and 0.1 wt % to 1.2 wt % of a dispersant viscosity modifier derived from a polyolefin having a number average molecular weight of at least 20,000, wherein the lubricant composition contains less than 0.2 wt % of a sulfur-coupled phenate detergent.

Since overbased detergents are commonly provided in a form which contains a certain amount of diluent oil, for example, 40-50% oil, the actual TBN value for such a detergent will depend on the amount of such diluent oil present, irrespective of the "inherent" basicity of the overbased material.
