- Lubricating compositions are prepared by blending additives as shown in Table 1 into a 10W-40 lubricant.
- the lubricating compositions have a phosphorus content in the lubricating composition from a metal hydrocarbyl dithiophosphate of less than 0.12 wt %.
- the compositions prepared are:
- hydrocarbyl substituent or “hydrocarbyl group,” as used herein are used in its ordinary sense, which is well- known to those skilled in the art. Specifically, it refers to a group primarily composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms and attached to the remainder of the other atoms or groups in a proportion insufficient to detract from the molecule having a predominantly hydrocarbon character. In general, no more than two, in one aspect no more than one, non-hydrocarbon substituent will be present for every ten carbon atoms in the hydrocarbyl group; typically, there will be no non- hydrocarbon substituents in the hydrocarbyl group. A more detailed definition of the terms “hydrocarbyl substituent” or “hydrocarbyl group,” is provided in US Patent Number 6,583,092.
- poly(rneth)acrylate and other generic stems with (meth)acryl means polymethacrylate, polyacrylate or other acryl or methacryl moieties.
