- TBNs in the range of from 30 to 350 mg.KOH/g.
- the person skilled in the art will readily understand that the actual detergent treat rate may depend on the detergents used, i.e. the actual amount of detergent needed in order to achieve the same soap concentration may vary from one detergent to another.
- Examples of commercially available sulphonate detergents are obtainable from e.g. Oronite under the trade designation n OLOA® 246S" and from Lubrizol under the trade designation "LZ6477".
- Examples of commercially available salicylate detergents are obtainable from e.g. Infineum under the trade designation "M7101” and "M7125”.
- base oil as used in the examples was a commercially available API Group I base oil.
- Group I base oil is meant a Group I base oil according to the definitions of American Petroleum Institute (API) .
- API American Petroleum Institute
- poly (hydroxycarboxylic acid) amide salt derivative a product available commercially from Shanghai Sanzheng Polymer Company under the trade designation "ens'' was used.
- "CH-5" product has a TBN value of approximately 2.0 mg.KOH/g, as measured by ASTM D 4739.
- "CHTM5" product has a sulphur content of approximately 0.86 wt.%, as measured by ICP-AES.
- compositions of the Examples and Comparative Examples were obtained by simply mixing the base oil, the poly ⁇ hydroxycarboxylic acid) amide salt derivative, and the detergent, using a laboratory paddle mixer.
- Table 1 The compositions of the Examples and Comparative Examples were obtained by simply mixing the base oil, the poly ⁇ hydroxycarboxylic acid) amide salt derivative, and the detergent, using a laboratory paddle mixer.
- a cam-baffle was obtained from a VG engine after running the dirty-up phase of the modified Sequence VG test as described above.
- Examples 3 and Comparative Examples 3 and 6 show that an amount of 2.0 wt.% of the poly (hydroxycarboxylic acid) amide salt derivative in the presence of 7.5 mmols soap as provided by the phenate, sulphonate or salicylate detergent give a desirable "clean" rating, it has been found according to the present invention that the phenate detergent is more effective to provide cleansing than the sulphonate or salicylate detergent.
- Examples 1 and 2 according to the present invention also give a "clean" rating at lower amounts of the poly (hydroxycarboxylic acid) amide salt derivative used, whilst this is not the case when using sulphonate or salicylate detergents.
- the soap concentration in the lubricating composition as provided by a detergent selected from the group of sulphonate and salicylate detergents or a mixture thereof is less than 5.0 mmol soap per wt .
- % of the one or more poly (hydroxycarboxylic acid) amide salt derivatives preferably less than 4.5 mmol soap, less than 4.0, less than 3.5, less than 3.0, less than 2.5, less than 2.0, less than 1.5, less than 1.0 mmol soap, most preferably less than 0.5 mmol soap.
