Abstract

The present invention provides a low phosphorus lubricating oil composition containing a mixture of zinc dithiophosphates in a certain ratio surprisingly yields improved lead corrosion. The synergistic combination of mixed zinc dithiophosphates containing a zinc primary dialkyl dithiophosphate, zinc secondary dialkyl dithiophosphate and zinc diaryl dithiophosphate in a respective ratio, based on the phosphorus content, of the zinc primary dialkyl dithiphosphate to zinc secondary dialkyl dithiophosphate from about 2:1 to about 1:2 and the ratio of the mixture of zinc primary dialkyl dithiophosphate and zinc secondary dialkyl dithiophosphate to zinc diaryl dithiophosphate from about 6:1 to about 1:1. When used in a lubricating oil composition having a total phosphorus content less than about 0.06 wt %, based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition to lubricate internal combustion engines. The mixture of zinc dithiophosphates greatly reduces lead corrosion.

Description

[0001] The present invention is related, in part, to a lubricating oil composition. More particularly, the present invention relates to a low phosphorus lubricating oil composition employing a mixture of zinc dithiophosphates and wherein the lubricating oil composition has less than about 0.06 wt % total phosphorus content based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition. The low phosphorus lubricating oil composition of the present invention is effective in lead corrosion control when used as a lubricating oil composition in internal combustion engines.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Emissions arising from automotive exhaust has been a problem for several decades and approaches for addressing this problem have included the use of unleaded fuel (to deal, in part, with lead pollution arising from leaded fuels), oxygenated fuel (to reduce hydrocarbon emissions), the use of catalytic converters (also to reduce hydrocarbon emissions), etc.

[0003] Catalytic converters are now u...
