Definitions

  • This disclosure relates to lubricating engines using formulated lubricating oils to improve engine fuel efficiency.
  • Lubricant oil formulations generally contain viscosity index ("VI") improving components to modify the rheological behavior to increase the lubricant viscosity, and promote a more constant viscosity over the range of temperatures over which the lubricant is used.
  • VI viscosity index
  • the viscosity index has been used to measure the rate of change of viscosity of a fluid in relation to temperature. In general, the higher the viscosity index, the smaller is the relative change in viscosity with temperature.
  • the VI improver or viscosity modifier is used to reduce the temperature dependency of the viscosity of the lubricant compositions so that the lubricant compositions can be used over a wide temperature range. In other words, the VI improvers prevent the lubricant compositions from becoming too thin at a high temperature, e.g., hot summer temperatures, and too viscous at a low temperature, e.g., cold winter temperatures.
  • VI improvers include polymethacrylates, olefin copolymers, such as ethylene-propylene copolymers and ethylene-propylene diene-modified copolymers (EPDMs), and hydrogenated styrenic block copolymers such as styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene copolymer (SEBS), styrene-butadiene copolymers, styrene-isoprene copolymers, and star polymers.
  • olefin copolymers such as ethylene-propylene copolymers and ethylene-propylene diene-modified copolymers (EPDMs)
  • EPDMs ethylene-propylene diene-modified copolymers
  • SEBS styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene copolymer
  • SEBS styrene-butadiene copolymers
  • ethylene/alpha-olefm copolymers have been widely used as viscosity modifiers, exhibiting the effect of improving viscosity index for the purpose of decreasing the temperature dependence of the lubricant's viscosity. See, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 6,589,920; 5,391,617; 7,053,153; and 5,374,700.
  • Lubricating oils lose fluidity at low temperatures because wax components therein tend to solidify to crystals.
  • This disclosure also relates in part to a method for improving fuel efficiency in an engine lubricated with a lubricating oil by using as the lubricating oil a formulated oil having a composition comprising: from 60 wt% to 98 wt%, based on the total weight of the formulated oil, of a lubricating oil base stock; from 0.5 wt% to 15 wt%, based on the total weight of the formulated oil, of a viscosity index improver comprising at least one propylene -based polymer, said at least one propylene-based polymer comprising from 60 wt% to 98 wt% propylene derived units and from 2 wt% to 40 wt% units derived from one or more other alpha olefins, a weight average molecular weight (Mw) as measured by GPC of from 100,000 to 500,000, a number average molecular weight (Mn) as measured by GPC of from 100,000 to 400,000, a mo

  • Lubricating base oils that are useful in the present disclosure are both natural oils, and synthetic oils, and unconventional oils (or mixtures thereof) can be used unrefined, refined, or rerefmed (the latter is also known as reclaimed or reprocessed oil).
  • 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. Refined oils are similar to the oils discussed for unrefined oils except refined oils are subjected to one or more purification steps to improve at least one lubricating oil property.
  • Groups I, II, III, IV and V are broad base oil stock categories developed and defined by the American Petroleum Institute (API Publication 1509; www.API.org) to create guidelines for lubricant base oils.
  • Group I base stocks have a viscosity index of between 80 to 120 and contain greater than 0.03% sulfur and/or less than 90% saturates.
  • Group II base stocks have a viscosity index of between 80 to 120, and contain less than or equal to 0.03%> sulfur and greater than or equal to 90%> saturates.

Of the natural oils, mineral oils are preferred. Mineral oils vary widely as to their crude source, for example, as to whether they are paraffinic, naphthenic, or mixed paraffinic-naphthenic. 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.

  • the PAOs may be predominantly trimers and tetramers of the starting olefins, with minor amounts of the higher oligomers, having a viscosity range of 1.5 to 12 cSt.
  • the PAO fluids may be conveniently made by the polymerization of an alphaolefin in the presence of a polymerization catalyst such as the Friedel-Crafts catalysts including, for example, aluminum trichloride, boron trifluoride or complexes of boron trifluoride with water, alcohols such as ethanol, propanol or butanol, carboxylic acids or esters such as ethyl acetate or ethyl propionate.

  • Suitable seal compatibility agents for lubricating oils include organic phosphates, aromatic esters, aromatic hydrocarbons, esters (butylbenzyl phthalate, for example), and polybutenyl succinic anhydride. Such additives may be used in an amount of 0.01 to 3 weight percent, preferably 0.01 to 2 weight percent.
  • Anti-foam agents may advantageously be added to lubricant compositions. These agents retard the formation of stable foams. Silicones and organic polymers are typical anti-foam agents. For example, polysiloxanes, such as silicon oil or polydimethyl siloxane, provide antifoam properties. Anti-foam agents are commercially available and may be used in conventional minor amounts along with other additives such as demulsifiers; usually the amount of these additives combined is less than 1 weight percent and often less than 0.1 weight percent.
  • a friction modifier is any material or materials that can alter the coefficient of friction of a surface lubricated by any lubricant or fluid containing such material(s).
  • Friction modifiers also known as friction reducers, or lubricity agents or oiliness agents, and other such agents that change the ability of base oils, formulated lubricant compositions, or functional fluids, to modify the coefficient of friction of a lubricated surface may be effectively used in combination with the base oils or lubricant compositions of the present disclosure if desired. Friction modifiers that lower the coefficient of friction are particularly advantageous in combination with the base oils and lube compositions of this disclosure. Friction modifiers may include metal-containing compounds or materials as well as ashless compounds or materials, or mixtures thereof.
  • Metal-containing friction modifiers may include metal salts or metalligand complexes where the metals may include alkali, alkaline earth, or transition group metals. Such metal-containing friction modifiers may also have low-ash characteristics. Transition metals may include Mo, Sb, Sn, Fe, Cu, Zn, and others.
  • Ligands may include hydrocarbyl derivative of alcohols, polyols, glycerols, partial ester glycerols, thiols, carboxylates, carbamates, thiocarbamates, dithiocarbamates, phosphates, thiophosphates, dithiophosphates, amides, imides, amines, thiazoles, thiadiazoles, dithiazoles, diazoles, triazoles, and other polar molecular functional groups containing effective amounts of O, N, S, or P, individually or in combination.
  • Mo-containing compounds can be particularly effective such as for example Mo-dithiocarbamates, Mo(DTC), Mo-dithiophosphates, Mo(DTP), Mo-amines, Mo (Am), Mo-alcoholates, Mo-alcohol- amides, etc. See U.S. Patent Nos. 5,824,627, 6,232,276, 6,153,564, 6,143,701, 6,110,878, 5,837,657, 6,010,987, 5,906,968, 6,734,150, 6,730,638, 6,689,725, 6,569,820; WO 99/66013; WO 99/47629; and WO 98/26030.
  • Ashless friction modifiers may also include lubricant materials that contain effective amounts of polar groups, for example, hydroxyl-containing hydrocarbyl base oils, glycerides, partial glycerides, glyceride derivatives, and the like.
  • Polar groups in friction modifiers may include hydrocarbyl groups containing effective amounts of O, N, S, or P, individually or in combination.
  • Other friction modifiers that may be particularly effective include, for example, salts (both ash-containing and ashless derivatives) of fatty acids, fatty alcohols, fatty amides, fatty esters, hydroxyl-containing carboxylates, and comparable synthetic long-chain hydrocarbyl acids, alcohols, amides, esters, hydroxy carboxylates, and the like.
  • fatty organic acids, fatty amines, and sulfurized fatty acids may be used as suitable friction modifiers.
  • Useful concentrations of friction modifiers may range from 0.01 weight percent to 10-15 weight percent or more, often with a preferred range of 0.1 weight percent to 5 weight percent. Concentrations of molybdenum-containing materials are often described in terms of Mo metal concentration. Advantageous concentrations of Mo may range from 10 ppm to 3000 ppm or more, and often with a preferred range of 20- 2000 ppm, and in some instances a more preferred range of 30-1000 ppm. Friction modifiers of all types may be used alone or in mixtures with the materials of this disclosure. Often mixtures of two or more friction modifiers, or mixtures of friction modifier(s) with alternate surface active material(s), are also desirable.
  • lubricating oil compositions contain one or more of the additives discussed above, the additive(s) are blended into the composition in an amount sufficient for it to perform its intended function. Typical amounts of such additives useful in the present disclosure are shown in Table A below. [00104] It is noted that many of the additives are shipped from the additive manufacturer as a concentrate, containing one or more additives together, with a certain amount of base oil diluent. Accordingly, the weight amounts in the table below, as well as other amounts mentioned in this specification, are directed to the amount of active ingredient (that is the non-diluent portion of the ingredient). The weight percent (wt%) indicated below is based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition.
  • Anti-foam Agent 0.001-3 0.001-0.15
  • additives are all commercially available materials. These additives may be added independently but are usually precombined in packages which can be obtained from suppliers of lubricant oil additives. Additive packages with a variety of ingredients, proportions and characteristics are available and selection of the appropriate package will take the requisite use of the ultimate composition into account.
  • improved fuel efficiency can be attained, while wear protection is maintained or improved, in an engine lubricated with a lubricating oil by using as the lubricating oil a formulated oil as described herein. Improved engine fuel efficiency can be achieved without sacrificing engine durability.
  • the engine oil lubricants of this disclosure can effectively improve fuel economy while providing desired antiwear performance over a wide temperature range.
  • the lubricating oils of this disclosure are particularly advantageous as passenger vehicle engine oil (PVEO) products.
  • VLl 151 J The Lubrizol Corporation viscosity index (VI) improver
  • Paratone 8451 Chevron Oronite Company
  • VI improvers are olefin copolymers.
  • VLl 151 J uses propylene and butylene as the olefins which are polymerized while Paratone 8451 uses ethylene and propylene as the olefins which are polymerized.
  • VLl 151 J was used as a concentrate containing 11.5 wt% solid polymer in a Group II base oil, and Paratone 8451 was used as a concentrate containing 6.3 wt% solid polymer in a Group I base oil. Both of these oils meet the requirements for an SAE 5W-20 viscosity grade as defined by SAE J300.
  • the formulation containing VLl 151J has a slightly higher HTHS viscosity. This is significant because fuel economy performance is inversely correlated with HTHS viscosity. Table 1 compares the physical properties of two SAE 5W-20 engine oils.
  • Figure 1 provides Kurt Orbahn (ASTM D6278) shear stability results for the above two formulations measured at multiple test lengths. The Kurt Orbahn shear stability results are equivalent for the formulations blended with the two different VI improvers at 0, 5, 10, and 30 test cycles.
  • Sequence VID (ASTM D7589) fuel economy testing was conducted for the two 5W-20 formulations blended with the VLl 151 J and Paratone 8451 VI improvers. Table 2 provides the Sequence VID fuel economy testing results. The results show the superior fuel economy benefits obtained using the VLl 151J VI improvers. Reduced fuel consumption occurred in Sequence VID stages 1, 3, 4, 5 and for the overall test (reported after FEI 1 measurement). The precision for the FEI 1 measurement is 0.13%. Thus, the benefit for the VLl 151 J VI improver was 3.4 standard deviation units above the Paratone VI improver. This benefit is statistically significant at a greater than 95% confidence level.
  • Table 3 compares Gel Permeation Chromatography characterization of the VL1151J and Paratone 8451 VI improvers. Of note is the very similar weight average molecular weight for the two VI improvers. However, the VLl 151J VI improver has a much lower polydispersity index or molecular weight distribution which results in improved fuel economy performance.
