A lubricant composition comprising an oil of lubricating viscosity and 0.01 to 5 percent by weight of an organic friction modifier, said lubricant composition being substantially free from molybdenum compounds, is suitable for lubricating an internal combustion engine operating at above 150°C at the cylinder liner, for example, a marine diesel engine.
Abstract:
A method of lubricating an internal combustion engine with a power output of at least 1600 kilowatts, with a lubricating composition, the method comprising: (1) monitoring one or more performance characteristics of the engine; (2) selecting an additive package to provide a desired TBN level to a lubricating composition to modify the performance characteristics of the engine; (3) combining the additive package of step (2) with (a) a component having a viscosity of about 2 mm 2 /s to 12 mm 2 /s, comprising a light neutral base oil, and optionally (b) a component having a viscosity of above 12 mm 2 /s to about 40 mm 2 /s, comprising heavy neutral base oil or a brightstock, to form a lubricating composition; and (4) supplying the lubricating composition of step (3) to the engine.
Abstract:
An additive package including an oil-insoluble additive, a method for formin g an additive package with an oil-insoluble additive and a lubricant in the fo rm of a dispersion of an oil-insoluble additive in oil is described where an oi l- insoluble solvent, e.g. water, can be used to help create the dispersed phas e. These packages, methods and lubricants are beneficial in various application s such as internal combustion engines where the oil benefits from functional additives that are not readily soluble in the oil. In many embodiments the o il- insoluble solvent is partially or fully removed before use.
