Definitions

  • This invention relates to lubricating oil compositions of low phosphorus content for use in conjunction with ultra-low sulphur gasoline compositions in order to reduce exhaust emissions without adversely affecting fuel economy.
  • Fuels such as motor gasoline are widely used in automotive transport. However, in line with the general thrust to reduce air pollution, petroleum companies and vehicle manufacturers are looking to develop systems that have reduced exhaust emissions and improved fuel economy. The petroleum companies in turn are introducing fuels with low sulphur content as they are considered to be more compatible with exhaust catalyst systems. Such fuels are generally used in conjunction with lubricating oils which inevitably contain phosphorus in the form of eg zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate (ZDDP). It was believed that low sulphur motor gasoline may transfer less acid species in blow by and therefore impart less stress on the overbased detergency properties of the lubricating oil than would a motor gasoline which is relatively high in sulphur.
  • ZDDP zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate
  • low phosphorus lubricating oils can be used in conjunction with ultra-low sulphur fuels without adversely affecting the fuel economy performance or the efficiency of the exhaust catalyst system of a vehicle.
  • the present invention is a lubricating oil composition used in conjunction with a gasoline fuel having a sulphur content of less than 10 ppm by weight, characterised in that said oil composition has a phosphorus content of no more than 0.05 % by weight.
  • the invention is the use in an internal combustion engine operating on gasoline fuel having a sulphur content of less than 10 ppm by weight, of a lubricating oil composition having a phosphorous content of no more than 0.05 % by weight, for the purpose of reducing environmental pollution.
  • the sulphur content of the fuel composition is less than 10 ppm by weight, is preferably less than 5 ppm by weight.

Abstract

This invention relates to a lubricating oil composition used in conjunction with a gasoline fuel having a sulphur content of less than 10 ppm by weight, characterised in that said oil composition has a phosphorus content of no more than 0.05 % by weight. The feature of the invention is that the use of a low sulphur fuel enables the amount of anti-wear agents containing phosphorus such as eg ZDDP to be halved without any adverse effect on the antiwear performance of the lubricating oil.

Description

LOW PHOSPHORUS LUBRICATING OIL COMPOSITION
This invention relates to lubricating oil compositions of low phosphorus content for use in conjunction with ultra-low sulphur gasoline compositions in order to reduce exhaust emissions without adversely affecting fuel economy.
Fuels such as motor gasoline are widely used in automotive transport. However, in line with the general thrust to reduce air pollution, petroleum companies and vehicle manufacturers are looking to develop systems that have reduced exhaust emissions and improved fuel economy. The petroleum companies in turn are introducing fuels with low sulphur content as they are considered to be more compatible with exhaust catalyst systems. Such fuels are generally used in conjunction with lubricating oils which inevitably contain phosphorus in the form of eg zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate (ZDDP). It was believed that low sulphur motor gasoline may transfer less acid species in blow by and therefore impart less stress on the overbased detergency properties of the lubricating oil than would a motor gasoline which is relatively high in sulphur. It was also expected that there would be a corresponding reduction in any adverse impact on the performance of the antioxidant and anti-wear components of such oils. It has also now been recognised that phosphorus also has a detrimental effect on exhaust catalyst systems. Consequently, it has been an objective to develop lubricating oil formulations with reduced phosphorus content. However, whilst ZDDP is the key anti-wear agent in lubricating oil formulations, excessive engine wear can also be reduced to an extent by supplementing ZDDP with other phosphorus-free antiwear agents such as eg oligomeric esters. The issue of wear is of concern, especially with ultra- low sulphur fuels, since the reduction of sulphur content may also adversely affect the lubricity of the resultant fuel and may lead to premature wear in some submerged electric gasoline pumps. Moreover, loss of fuel lubricity may also lead to loss of fuel economy.
Experiments carried out in the context of the present invention have showed that the largest effect of using low sulphur fuels in conjunction with conventional lubricating oils was observed on the anti-wear performance of the lubricating oil formulations as reflected by the iron content of the used oil. It was surprisingly found that low sulphur motor gasoline caused less wear than the high sulphur motor gasoline in spite of the reduced sulphur content which hitherto had been known to adversely affect lubricity. More importantly, this led to the observation that the phosphorus content of the lubricating oil composition could be halved without adversely affecting the wear protection afforded by such oils. Most surprisingly, lowering the phosphoms content of lubricating oils and the sulphur content of the fuel gave a synergistic benefit, providing the lowest iron content of all even though lowering the sulphur and phosphorus content would have been expected to increase wear as . indicated by iron content. This suggests that lubricating oils for use in conjunction with low sulphur fuels can henceforth be formulated with reduced phosphorus levels without adversely affecting wear performance.
Thus, it has now been found that low phosphorus lubricating oils can be used in conjunction with ultra-low sulphur fuels without adversely affecting the fuel economy performance or the efficiency of the exhaust catalyst system of a vehicle.
Accordingly, the present invention is a lubricating oil composition used in conjunction with a gasoline fuel having a sulphur content of less than 10 ppm by weight, characterised in that said oil composition has a phosphorus content of no more than 0.05 % by weight. Thus in one aspect, the invention is the use in an internal combustion engine operating on gasoline fuel having a sulphur content of less than 10 ppm by weight, of a lubricating oil composition having a phosphorous content of no more than 0.05 % by weight, for the purpose of reducing environmental pollution.
As described above, the sulphur content of the fuel composition is less than 10 ppm by weight, is preferably less than 5 ppm by weight. The sulphur measurement methods used - were by X-ray (ASTM D2622-1) or by UN (ASTM D5453-93). Such low sulphur levels can be achieved in a number of ways. The base fuels may comprise mixtures of saturated, olefinic and aromatic hydrocarbons and these can be derived from straight run streams, thermally or catalytically cracked hydrocarbon feedstocks, hydrocracked petroleum fractions, catalytically reformed hydrocarbons, or synthetically produced hydrocarbon mixtures such as those derived from methane. Typically, the present invention is applicable to fuels such as the light boiling gasoline (which typically boils between 50 and 200°C), especially motor gasoline. The sulphur content of such fuels can be reduced below the 10 ppm level by well known methods such as eg, catalytic hydrodesulphurisation.
The lubricating oil compositions used in conjunction with the ultra-low sulphur fuels in the present invention are suitably Group II, Group III or Group IN basestock as defined by the API and are preferably Group II basestock. These compositions suitably contain the conventional additives selected from the group consisting of: phenolic and/or aminic antioxidants, demulsifiers, viscosity index improvers, anti-wear agents, alkaline earth metal sulphonates, and polyisobutenyl succinimides which may optionally be borated. These oil compositions suitably have: a kinematic viscosity at 40°C (KV40) of about 75 cSt or less, preferably from 50-75 cSt, more preferably from 60-70 cSt (eg about 66-67 cSt); a KNioo of below 20 cSt, preferably from 10-15 cSt (eg about 11 cSt); a pout point below -20°C, preferably below -30°C (eg about -33°C); a flash point of above 200°C, preferably above 215°C (eg 220°C); a ΝOACK volatility of up to 15% (eg 14.3%); a TBΝ value of about 7, eg about 7.15-7.25, eg 7.19-7.22 based on mg of KOH per gram (according to ASTM 2896- 98); and a nitrogen content as measured by the Kjeldahl method of below 0.1% by mass, eg 0.08. A typical example of such an oil composition is a 5W40 grade oil.
A feature of the oil compositions of the present invention is that they have a considerably reduced amount of the anti-wear agent, ZDDP, and hence phosphorus therein. For instance, the conventional oil compositions have a phosphorus content of about 0.09- 1.0% by weight whereas the lubricating oil composition used in conjunction with the ultra- low sulphur fuels of the present invention need only have a phosphorus content of below 0.05%) by weight, eg about 0.046, which is about one-half of that used hitherto with low sulphur fuels. The ZDDP contributing towards the phosphorus content of the lubricating oils used in the present invention suitably have primary alkyl groups having.1-18 carbon atoms, secondary alkyl groups having 3-18 carbon atoms or a mixture of such primary and secondary alkyl groups.
The present invention >is further illustrated with reference to the following Examples. EXAMPLES

Under standard testing conditions used, the sump is flushed and filled with the oil under test ("Test oil") before the test commences. At the end of test the cylinder head is removed and the level of intake valve and combustion chamber deposits measured (visual rating and/or weights).
To test the compositions of the present invention the engine was flushed with the low P oil prior to filling and then the test was run under the standard cycle. At the end of test the engine was dismantled and rated in the normal manner and the used oil was collected for analysis. Small (ca. 50ml) oil samples were collected during the test, after 24, 48 and 72 hours, so that effects could be monitored throughout the test.
Used oil analysis - Bench test strategy
Samples of the fresh and end of test (EOT) used oils were analysed for all of the tests and these are listed below (Tables 6 and 7). In addition, the intermediate samples, which were only available in limited quantities (50ml), were analysed by a limited test set (Table 6).

Results obtained are summarised in Table 8-11 below. In these Tables the concentration of metals which did not undergo any significant change as a result of the test are not reported. In the Tables, the Wear metals by ICP tests were carried out as prescribed in ASTM D5185 and the KV values determined according to ASTM D445.

Due to a complex interplay between the different fuel properties the interpretation of these data is not straightforward. For example, oil viscosity can be impacted in a number of ways, e.g. fuel dilution can reduce viscosity while oxidation and particulate suspension can increase it. Likewise, the S content of the oil can be increased through the transfer of combustion products via blow-by but could be reduced through the reaction of ZDDP or through fuel dilution. However, there are some interesting effects observed from these data.
The main observations made are summarised below. Wear effects
* When the high P oil was used the Fe content was higher in the used oil mn on the high S mogas.
Results for the intermediate samples were consistent with this (see Graph 1 below).
Lower levels of P and Zn were measured in the same oil samples. The differences are small but are consistent and based on original oil analyses are reproducible.

Test duration (hrs)
When the low P oil was tested in combination with low S mogas the level of Fe was even lower than in tests 1 and 2.
This was somewhat surprising as the lower concentration of ZDDP should have led us to expect higher levels of Fe (vs test 2)
Other results (e.g. DSC) are consistent with lower levels of ZDDP in the oil.
The stepwise reduction in Fe levels from test 1 to test 2 to test 3 may give the impression of a gradual decrease in severity over time. .However, current knowledge of engine testing would not support this. Furthermore, the test engine was not new at the start of this study and thus had been fully n-in in earlier test work.
Anti-oxidancy * Lube oils mn on low S mogas retain more anti-oxidancy performance at the end of test. The used oils from test 1 (high S mogas) had a slightly lower DSC degradation temperature and a slightly shorter induction time than the corresponding oils from test 2. * The anti-oxidancy performance of the oil deteriorated when the ZDDP concentration was halved. This was to be expected since ZDDP is also known to have antioxidancy properties in addition to being an anti-wear agent. Thus, it may be necessary to supplement the amount of anti-oxidants used in the formulations for optimum performance.
Acid Neutralisation
* The fuel composition may also impact the rate of TBN loss and increase in TAN but only to a small extent - The oil mn on low S mogas (test 2) lost less TBN than that from test 1.
The oil n on high S mogas (test 1) has a higher TAN than that from test 2. The oil from test 3 (low P oil / low S mogas) showed the largest reduction in TBN
S content
* The S content of the used oil also appears to be influenced by the fuel composition
The oil ran on high S mogas (test 1) shows a greater S increase than the fresh oil while the oil run on lower S mogas (test 2) has a slightly lesser S increase. When the low S mogas was mn with the low P oil the EOT oil had about the same S content as the fresh oil.
Viscosity
* All of the EOT oils have slightly lower viscosity than the virgin oil.
Fuel dilution
* Little or no fuel dilution was observed in any of the tests. .
CCD/IVD
* The high S base fuel created a significantly higher level of deposits (CCD and IVD) than the low S mogas.
The testing now carried out shows that:
Fuel composition does appear to impact lube oil performance in key areas. The largest effect observed was in anti-wear performance as reflected in the Fe content of the used oil. The low S mogas caused less wear than the high S mogas. Using the low S mogas, the P content of the oil could be halved with no detrimental effect in wear protection. Low S mogas also appears to have less of a detrimental effect on the anti-oxidancy and acid neutralisation (TBN) performance of the oil.
