[0074] Test Example 1
[0075] The lubricating oil compositions blended in Examples 1-4 were subjected to product performance tests. The test items and test results are shown in Table 5 below.
[0076] Table 5 Product Performance Tests of Lubricating Oil Compositions
[0077]
[0078]
[0079]
[0080] As shown in Table 5, the performance of the new energy oil-cooled motor gearbox oils prepared in Examples 1-3 all meet industry standards and can satisfy the lubrication requirements of the electric vehicle gearbox system under the oil-cooled motor structure. Among them, the oil blended in Example 1, which combines ammonium phosphate salt with butyl triphenyl thiophosphate and ashless liquid dithiophosphate at a mass ratio of 0.11:0.6:0.12, exhibits excellent anti-wear performance, achieving an FZG failure rating of 8. It also demonstrates outstanding copper corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. After oxidation at 170℃ for 192 hours, the kinematic viscosity change rate at 100℃ is 2.1%, and the acid value change is 0.43. After oxidation at 150℃ for 168 hours, the copper strip corrosion rating is 2C. The copper content in Example 1 is only 80 ppm, while exhibiting good electrochemical properties and compatibility with sealing materials. Example 2 has a high content of ashless liquid dithiophosphate, resulting in excellent anti-wear properties, but poor copper corrosion resistance. Example 3 has a similar ratio of butyltriphenyl thiophosphate, ashless liquid dithiophosphate, and ammonium phosphate salt to that of Example 1. Although its copper corrosion resistance is comparable to Example 1, its anti-wear resistance is also inferior due to lower anti-wear agent dosages. The anti-wear and copper corrosion resistance of the new energy oil-cooled motor gearbox oil prepared in Example 4 are worse than those in Examples 1-3. Therefore, the best overall performance of the lubricating oil composition is achieved when ammonium phosphate salt, butyltriphenyl thiophosphate, and ashless liquid dithiophosphate are blended at a mass ratio of 0.09-0.11:0.4-0.7:0.1-0.18.
[0081] Although specific embodiments of the invention have been described in detail, those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and substitutions can be made to those details based on all the teachings disclosed, and all such changes are within the scope of protection of this invention. The full scope of this invention is given by the appended claims and any equivalents thereof.
