Abstract:
Provided for are lubricant base stocks with improved filterability. The lubricant base stock includes a bright stock and an effective amount of a heavy neutral. The filterability of the base stock as measured by the Membrane Filtration Method is less than or equal to 400 seconds. Also provided for are lubricating oils with improved filterability and methods of improving the filterability of lubricant base stocks.
Abstract:
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. In one form, the formulated oil has a composition that includes 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 lubricating 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 formulated oil or lubricating engine oil.
Abstract:
Provided are lubricant compositions from renewable biological sources with improved properties and methods of making and using such compositions. In one form, the lubricant composition includes from 20 to 99.8 wt. % of a lube base stock produced from a renewable biological source and an effective amount of one or more lubricant additives. The lube base stock includes 10 to 35 wt. % paraffins, 40 to 70 wt. % 1-ring naphthenes, and 0 to 40 wt. % combined 2-ring naphthenes and aromatics, and has a ratio of 1-ring naphthenes to paraffins from 1.8 to 5.0, and a Viscosity Index of from 100 to 160. The lube base stock has a 14C level ranging from 2 to 101% of the modern day 14C level in the atmosphere, and yields a CCS ratio of less than or equal to 0.85 at −35° C. The lubricant compositions exhibit improved solvency and % thickening when blended with a viscosity modifier.
Abstract:
Provided are lube base stocks produced from renewable biological sources with improved low temperature properties. In one form, the lube base stock includes from 10 to 35 wt. % paraffins, 40 to 70 wt. % 1-ring naphthenes, and 0 to 40 wt. % combined 2-ring naphthenes and aromatics, and has a ratio of 1-ring naphthenes to paraffins from 1.8 to 5.0, and a Viscosity Index of from 100 to 160. The lube base stock has a 14C level ranging from 2 to 101% of the modern day 14C level in the atmosphere, and yields a CCS ratio (Cold Crank Simulator (CCS) viscosity to the predicted CCS viscosity by Walther equation) of less than or equal to 0.85 at −35° C. The base stocks are useful as in formulated lubricant compositions requiring improved low temperature properties.
