Abstract

L'invention concerne une huile lubrifiante sans cendres présentant une huile de base d'huile lubrifiante en tant que constituant principal et un mélange (i) d'au moins un additif anti-usure sans cendres, et (ii) d'au moins un détergent sans cendres et (iii) d'au moins un antioxydant de type amine, en tant que constituants secondaires. L'huile de base d'huile lubrifiante est un ester de polyol ramifié. L'huile de base d'huile lubrifiante est présente en une quantité d'environ 30 à environ 99,8 pour cent en masse, sur la base de la masse totale de l'huile lubrifiante sans cendres. L'invention concerne un procédé pour améliorer la stabilité à l'oxydation et la stabilité à la température élevée d'une huile lubrifiante dans un moteur ou dans un autre élément mécanique lubrifié avec l'huile lubrifiante par le biais de l'utilisation de l'huile lubrifiante sans cendres. L'huile lubrifiante sans cendres est utile en tant qu'huile de moteur pour véhicule de tourisme (PVEO).
