Benefits of technology

The patent is about a way to decrease adhesive wear in a compression engine that uses a low phosphorus lubricant. The method involves adding certain ingredients to the lubricant: an oil, metal-containing detergents, polyisobutenyl succinimide dispersants, and a dispersant viscosity modifier. The resulting lubricant has reduced wear and tear.

Problems solved by technology

A common wear issue in internal combustion engines is adhesive wear, also known as stick-tear wear.
Adhesive wear occurs when material from two mated metal parts is transferred unevenly from one part to the other due to a lubricant's inability to maintain separation of the two parts or inability to maintain a low enough temperature in the system.
However, the reduction in HTHS viscosity and / or anti-wear additives generally causes an increase in adhesive wear on the metal to metal surfaces.

[0131]A series of 10W-30 engine lubricants were prepared containing the additives described above as well as other conventional additives known to those of ordinary skill in the art. The amounts (wt %) of each additive are shown on table 1 below with the balance of the lubricating composition being the base oil. The lubricating compositions were evaluated for their ability to protect against adhesive wear using ASTM WK53775. The lubricating compositions and test results are summarized in Table 1.

Abstract

The disclosed technology provides a lubricating composition and a method of lubricating an internal combustion engine where the lubricating composition contains an oil of lubricating viscosity, one or more metal-containing, sulfur-free, alkyl-phenol based detergents, an alkaline earth metal sulfonate detergent, a polyisobutenyl succinimide dispersant, and a dispersant viscosity modifier having a number average molecular weight of at least 20,000. The lubricating composition of the present invention can be formulated to have lower HTHS viscosity, and reduced phosphorous content, while providing protection against adhesive wear.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The disclosed technology relates to lubricants, particularly for internal combustion engines including diesel engines. In particular, the disclosed technology relates to lower viscosity lubricating compositions which provide improved protection against adhesive wear.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]A common wear issue in internal combustion engines is adhesive wear, also known as stick-tear wear. Adhesive wear occurs when material from two mated metal parts is transferred unevenly from one part to the other due to a lubricant's inability to maintain separation of the two parts or inability to maintain a low enough temperature in the system. In these cases, the mated parts develop micro-welds which are then torn away as the two parts move away from each other. Adhesive wear is often addressed by increasing the viscosity of the lubricant and / or by increasing the amount of anti-wear additives in the lubricating composition.[0003]Certain lubricating compositions,...
