Definitions

  • This disclosure relates to lubricating engines using formulated lubricating oils to improve engine fuel efficiency without sacrificing engine durability.
  • HTHS is the measure of a lubricant's viscosity under conditions that simulate severe engine operation. Under high temperatures and high stress conditions, viscosity index improver degradation can occur. As this happens, the viscosity of the oil decreases which may lead to increased engine wear.
  • a viscosity index improver is typically added to engine oil in order to provide appropriate viscosity at high and low temperatures and thereby widen the application temperature range.
  • High molecular weight polymers are widely used as viscosity index improvers.
  • the high molecular weight polymer-based viscosity index improver has the typical property of such improvers; that is, a temporary viscosity decrease due to orientation, etc., occurs during operation at high speed/high load or under other high shear conditions, and irreversible viscosity decrease occurs due to molecular weight decrease as a result of chopping of the polymer molecules when the shear conditions become severe.
  • This disclosure relates in part to a method for improving fuel efficiency, while maintaining or improving wear protection, in an engine lubricated with a lubricating oil by reducing the amount of a viscosity index improver in the lubricating oil sufficient for the lubricating oil to have a HTHS viscosity of less than 2.6 cP at 150°C.
  • This disclosure also relates in part to a method for improving fuel efficiency, while maintaining or improving wear protection, in an engine lubricated with a lubricating oil by using as the lubricating oil a formulated oil having a HTHS viscosity of less than 2.6 cP at 150°C.
  • the formulated oil has a composition that comprises a lubricating oil base stock as a major component, and zinc dialkyl dithio phosphate, a mixture of (i) at least two alkali metal detergents, (ii) at least two alkaline earth metal detergents, or (iii) one or more alkali metal detergents and one or more alkaline earth metal detergents; and a viscosity index improver, as minor components.
  • the composition contains less than 2 weight percent of the viscosity index improver, based on the total weight of the formulated oil.
  • the composition is sufficient for the formulated oil to pass wear protection requirements of one or more engine tests selected from TU3M, Sequence IIIG, Sequence IVA and OM646LA.
  • This disclosure further relates in part to a lubricating engine oil having a composition comprising a lubricating oil base stock as a major component, and a zinc dialkyl dithio phosphate, a mixture of (i) at least two alkali metal detergents, (ii) at least two alkaline earth metal detergents, or (iii) one or more alkali metal detergents and one or more alkaline earth metal detergents, e.g., magnesium sulfonate and calcium salicylate; and a viscosity index improver, as minor components.
  • the lubricating engine oil has a HTHS viscosity of less than 2.6 cP at 150°C.
  • the composition contains less than 2 weight percent of the viscosity index improver, based on the total weight of the lubricating engine oil.
  • the composition is sufficient for the lubricating engine oil to pass wear protection requirements of one or more engine tests selected from TU3M, Sequence IIIG, Sequence IVA and OM646LA.
  • This disclosure yet further relates in part to a method for improving fuel efficiency, while maintaining or improving wear protection, in an engine lubricated with a lubricating oil by using as the lubricating oil a formulated oil having a HTHS viscosity of less than 2.6 cP at 150°C.
  • the formulated oil has a composition that comprises a lubricating oil base stock as a major component, and zinc dialkyl dithio phosphate, and a mixture of (i) at least two alkali metal detergents, (ii) at least two alkaline earth metal detergents, or (iii) one or more alkali metal detergents and one or more alkaline earth metal detergents, as minor components.
  • the composition can optionally contain a viscosity index improver in an amount less than 2 weight percent, based on the total weight of the formulated oil.

  • This disclosure also relates in part to a lubricating engine oil having a composition comprising a lubricating oil base stock as a major component, and a zinc dialkyl dithio phosphate, and a mixture of (i) at least two alkali metal detergents, (ii) at least two alkaline earth metal detergents, or (iii) one or more alkali metal detergents and one or more alkaline earth metal detergents, e.g., magnesium sulfonate and calcium salicylate, as minor components.
  • the lubricating engine oil has a HTHS viscosity of less than 2.6 cP at 150°C.
  • the composition can optionally contain a viscosity index improver in an amount less than 2 weight percent, based on the total weight of the formulated oil.
  • the composition is sufficient for the formulated oil to pass wear protection requirements of one or more engine tests selected from TU3M, Sequence IIIG, Sequence IVA and OM646LA.
  • improvements in fuel economy are obtained without sacrificing engine durability by a reduction of HTHS viscosity to a level less than 2.6 cP through reduction or removal of viscosity modifiers.
  • Engine wear protection is maintained even when a viscosity modifier is reduced or removed from the engine oil formulation, leading to substantially lower HTHS viscosities, e.g., 2.6 cP or lower at 150°C.
  • the lubricating oil comprises a lubricating oil base stock as a major component, a zinc dialkyl dithio phosphate, and a mixture of (i) at least two alkali metal detergents, (ii) at least two alkaline earth metal detergents, or (iii) one or more alkali metal detergents and one or more alkaline earth metal detergents; and a viscosity index improver, as minor components.

  • Unrefined oils are those obtained directly from a natural or synthetic source and used without added purification. These include shale oil obtained directly from retorting operations, petroleum oil obtained directly from primary distillation, and ester oil obtained directly from an esterification process.

Oils derived from coal or shale are also useful. Natural oils vary also as to the method used for their production and purification, for example, their distillation range and whether they are straight run or cracked, hydrorefined, or solvent extracted.
