example 1

[0102]2-Octyldodecyl dodecanoate derived from a Guerbet alcohol (i.e., 2-octyl-1-dodecanol) and a linear acid (i.e., decanoic acid, a linear C12 carboxylic acid) demonstrated excellent CCSV-reducing efficacy when blended at low treat rate with PAO-4 as the reference oil. As shown in FIG. 2, 2-octyldodecyl dodecanoate demonstrated a negative D(ccsv)3 is quite high, making it a highly effective CCSV-reducing base stock without significantly impacting the KV100 of the mixture oil.

example 2

[0103]2-Octyldodecyl nonanoate derived from a Guerbet alcohol (i.e., 2-octyl-1-dodecanol) and a linear acid (i.e., nonanoic acid, a linear C9 carboxylic acid) demonstrated excellent CCSV-reducing efficacy when blended at low treat rate with PAO-4 as the reference oil. As shown in FIG. 2, 2-octyldodecyl nonanoate demonstrated a negative D(ccsv)3 is quite high, making it a highly effective CCSV-reducing base stock without significantly impacting the KV100 of the mixture oil.

example 3

Comparative

[0104]Di-iso-octyl adipate derived from iso-octyl alcohol and adipic acid (Esterex™ A32, a commercial Group V ester-type base stock available from ExxonMobil Chemical Company having an address at 4500 Bayway Drive, Baytown, Tex. 77450, United States) demonstrated CCSV-reducing efficacy as shown in FIG. 3. However, the high Noack volatility (>30%) of this di-ester precludes this ester from being an inventive example of a CCSV-reducing base stock. As shown by this example, it is possible to reduce the CCSV of a formulation simply by including an ester of low molecular weight such as Esterex™ A32. However, the high NV value of such an ester renders it unsuitable for an engine oil formulation. On the contrary, the CCSV-reducing mono-esters of this disclosure have a NV value of no higher than 20%, preferably no higher than15%, still more preferably no higher than 10%.

Abstract

This disclosure relates to cold cranking simulator viscosity (“CCSV”) reducing base stocks that allow flexibility for low viscosity SAE engine oil grades (e.g., 5 W and 0 W) to meet demanding low temperature viscosity requirements while maintaining a higher base oil viscosity for improved wear protection. The CCSV-reducing base stocks include mono-esters derivable from a Guerbet alcohol and a monocarboxylic acid. The disclosure also relates to lubricating oil formulations containing the CCSV-reducing base stocks, and a method for determining the CCSV-reducing efficacy of a base stock.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE OF RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of Provisional Application No. 62 / 477,759, filed Mar. 28, 2017, the disclosures of which is incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This disclosure relates to cold cranking simulator viscosity (“CCSV”) reducing base stocks that allow flexibility for low viscosity SAE engine oil grades (e.g., 5 W and 0 W) to meet demanding low temperature viscosity and high temperature viscosity requirements, lubricating oil formulations containing the CCSV-reducing base stocks, and a method for improving fuel efficiency and / or wear protection in an engine by using as the engine oil a lubricating oil formulation containing one or more of the CCSV-reducing base stocks.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Increased regulatory pressure to improve fuel efficiency and reduce carbon emissions is shifting the automotive industry toward use of lower viscosity grade engine oils. Lower viscosity engine oils promis...
