Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the use of a specific ratio of non-phosphorous PIBSA-PAM to soaps, which exhibits good anti-wear properties, in lubricant compositions, particularly for large diesel engine applications.

Background Art

[0002] The present invention relates to lubricating oil compositions that exhibit improved anti-wear properties even at phosphorus levels below 1000 ppm, such as large diesel engine oils. More particularly, the present invention relates to automotive crankcase lubricating oil compositions for use in natural gas engines, hydrogen engines (H2ICE), gasoline (spark ignition), and diesel (compression ignition) internal combustion engines, for example, compositions referred to as crankcase lubricants, and to the use of a certain ratio of PIBSA-PAM to soaps in such lubricating oil compositions for reducing friction and / or wear between moving parts of such engines and / or for improving the fuel consumption performance of engines lubricated with the lubricating oil composition. Engine durability is an important consideration when selecting lubricants, particularly for large diesel engine (HDD) applications. Original equipment manufacturers are continuously increasing oil change intervals, and the average life of vehicles has steadily increased over the past few decades. Similarly, there is a tendency to use ashless anti-wear agents that have less impact on aftertreatment systems such as diesel particulate filters in large diesel vehicles. Due to environmental and regulatory requirements, there is an increasing desire to improve the efficiency of internal combustion engines. Lower viscosity lubricants can improve fuel consumption because they require less energy for pumping into the engine. However, lower viscosity lubricants result in thinner oil films between contacting engine parts (e.g., valve train, piston zone, and bearings), which can lead to higher wear rates, reduced friction modulation, etc. Conventionally, zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) is often used as a lubricant additive for preventing engine wear and / or reducing friction in the boundary lubrication regime.

[0003] In parallel with the promotion of improved fuel efficiency, there is also a desire to reduce emissions from vehicles. Control of exhaust emissions is typically achieved by aftertreatment devices such as catalytic converters that generally use noble metal catalysts to convert combustion products into less harmful substances. However, such catalysts are poisoned, especially by phosphorus and sulfur, thereby affecting the catalytic activity. Another aftertreatment device is a particulate filter, which can be clogged by sulfuric acid ash or sludge generated by the combustion of heavy diesel oil. Therefore, it is desirable to reduce the levels of sulfuric acid ash, phosphorus, and sulfur (SAPS) derived from heavy diesel oil. Also, since ZDDP additives contribute a significant amount of SAPS to lubricating oils, it is desirable to reduce the use of ZDDP.

[0004] In December 2016, the American Petroleum Institute (API) announced the latest heavy-duty diesel performance categories: CK-4 and FA-4. Furthermore, the acquired market share of 800 ppm phosphorus oils increased. Shortly after implementation, Ford Motor Company refrained from using CK-4 oils and FA-4 oils with phosphorus levels below 800 ppm due to concerns that the phosphorus levels might be too low to protect the company's diesel engines from valve train wear. In this situation, Ford developed the Ford 6.7L Power Stroke diesel engine test for soot-induced wear and viscosity control. In this test, the anti-wear performance of heavy-duty diesel oils is evaluated based on visual inspection of valve train components. The pass criteria for the Ford 6.7L test are as follows. Single test: < 100 mg average rocker arm mass loss Multiple tests: < 115 mg average rocker arm mass loss Oils that do not meet these targets are not eligible for approval. During engine operation, oil-insoluble oxidation by-products, such as soot, are generated. Dispersants assist in keeping such by-products in suspension or in solution and thus reduce the deposition of by-products on metal surfaces. Common dispersants include (poly)alkenyl succinic acid derivatives, such as hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydrides, such as polyisobutylene succinic anhydride (PIBSA), and hydrocarbyl-substituted succinimides, such as polyisobutylene succinimide (PIBSA-PAM), such as those derived from the reaction of maleated polyisobutylene with N-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine.

[0005] U.S. Patent Application No. 18 / 480,571, filed on October 4, 2023, which claims the priority of U.S. Patent Application No. 63 / 379,006, filed on October 11, 2022, discloses the use of amides, imides, and / or ester-functionalized polymers containing specific C 4~5 olefins as additives in lubricating oil compositions. U.S. Patent Application No. 63 / 584,675, filed on September 22, 2023, further discloses a lubricant composition comprising a functionalized polymer containing a specific olefin homopolymer or copolymer backbone, but with a reduced or absent polyalkenyl succinimide dispersant, which is a conventional polyalkenyl succinimide dispersant where the polyalkenyl is derived from polyisobutylene and the imide is derived from a polyamine (PIBSA-PAM). There remains a need to provide further or improved engine / transmission oil compositions that provide excellent antiwear properties and fuel economy while keeping the phosphorus level of the lubricating oil composition below 1000 ppm. In particular, there remains a need to provide engine / transmission oil compositions that pass severe wear tests such as the Ford 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel Engine test regarding soot-induced wear and viscosity control and meet the latest standards of performance categories.

[0006] The inventors have surprisingly found that, in lubricant compositions, such as heavy-duty diesel oils, by using a specific ratio of non-phosphated PIBSA-PAM dispersants to soaps, the anti-wear properties are significantly improved, and thus the durability is enhanced. Further surprisingly, in lubricant compositions, by using a specific ratio of non-phosphated PIBSA-PAM dispersants to soaps, it becomes easier to pass the Ford 6.7L Power Stroke diesel engine test regarding soot-induced wear and viscosity control even when the phosphorus level is less than 1000 ppm, for example 800 ppm.

[0020] The term "absent" (or "free of") with respect to the lubricating oil compositions described herein and the components or active ingredients included in the claims thereto means that a particular component or active ingredient is present at 0.000% by weight based on the weight of the lubricating oil composition, or is "substantially absent", if the component or active ingredient is present at a level that does not affect the properties of the lubricating oil composition, for example, less than 100 ppm, for example, less than 10 ppm, less than 1 ppm, or less than 0.001 ppm. The term "about" means approximately and includes values obtained by rounding a value. As used herein, the term "about" modifying the amount of a component, constituent, or reactant of the present invention refers to the variability in numerical amounts that may arise, for example, from typical measurement and liquid handling procedures used to make a concentrate or lubricating oil composition. Further, the variability may arise from accidental errors in the measurement procedure, differences in the manufacture, source, or purity of the components used in the manufacture of the composition or the implementation of the method.

[0031] The term "metal content" of a lubricating oil composition or an additive component, e.g., magnesium content, molybdenum content, or total metal content (i.e., the sum of all individual metal contents), is measured by ASTM D5185. The term "aliphatic hydrocarbyl fatty acid" means a monocarboxylic acid having an aliphatic C7 - C 29 , preferably C9 - C 27 , most preferably C 11 - C 23 hydrocarbyl chain. Such compounds are herein sometimes referred to as aliphatic (C7 - C 29 ), more preferably (C9 - C 27 ), most preferably (C 11 - C 23 ) hydrocarbyl monocarboxylic acids or hydrocarbyl fatty acids (wherein Cx - Cy refers to the total number of carbon atoms of the aliphatic hydrocarbyl chain of the fatty acid, and due to the presence of the carboxyl carbon atom, the fatty acid itself contains a total of Cx + 1 - Cy + 1 carbon atoms). Preferably, the aliphatic hydrocarbyl fatty acid has an even number of carbon atoms including the carboxyl carbon atom. The aliphatic hydrocarbyl chain of the fatty acid may be saturated or unsaturated (i.e., contains at least one carbon - carbon double bond). Preferably, the aliphatic hydrocarbyl chain is unsaturated and contains at least one carbon - carbon double bond, and such fatty acids can be obtained from natural sources (e.g., derived from animal or vegetable oils) and / or by reduction of the corresponding saturated fatty acids. It will be understood that a portion of the aliphatic hydrocarbyl chain of the corresponding aliphatic hydrocarbyl fatty acid ester is unsaturated (i.e., contains at least one carbon - carbon double bond) and can react with other agents, such as sulfur, to form the corresponding functionalized, e.g., sulfided, aliphatic hydrocarbyl fatty acid ester.

[0032] The term "aliphatic hydrocarbyl fatty acid ester" means an ester that can be obtained by converting the monocarboxylic acid functional group of the corresponding aliphatic hydrocarbyl fatty acid into an ester group. Preferably, the monocarboxylic acid functional group of the aliphatic hydrocarbyl fatty acid is converted into a hydrocarbyl ester, preferably a C1-C 30 aliphatic hydrocarbyl ester, such as an alkyl ester, preferably a C1-C6 alkyl ester, especially a methyl ester. Alternatively or in addition, the monocarboxylic acid functional group of the aliphatic hydrocarbyl fatty acid may be in the form of a natural glycerol ester. Thus, the term "aliphatic hydrocarbyl fatty acid ester" includes aliphatic hydrocarbyl fatty acid glycerol esters and aliphatic hydrocarbyl fatty acid C1-C 30 aliphatic hydrocarbyl esters [e.g., aliphatic hydrocarbyl fatty acid alkyl esters, more preferably aliphatic hydrocarbyl fatty acid C1-C6 alkyl esters, especially aliphatic hydrocarbyl fatty acid methyl esters]. Preferably, the term "aliphatic hydrocarbyl fatty acid ester" refers to aliphatic (C7-C 29 ) hydrocarbyl, more preferably aliphatic (C9-C 27 ) hydrocarbyl, most preferably aliphatic (C 11 -C 23 ) hydrocarbyl fatty acid glycerol esters and aliphatic (C7-C 29 ) hydrocarbyl, more preferably aliphatic (C9-C 27 ) hydrocarbyl, most preferably aliphatic (C 11 -C 23 ) hydrocarbyl fatty acid C1-C 30 aliphatic hydrocarbyl esters. Preferably, to enable functionalization of the aliphatic hydrocarbyl fatty acid ester, such as sulfidation, a portion of the aliphatic hydrocarbyl chain of the fatty acid ester is unsaturated and contains at least one carbon-carbon double bond.

[0033] The term "sulfurized aliphatic hydrocarbon fatty acid ester" means a compound obtained by sulfiding an aliphatic hydrocarbyl fatty acid ester as defined herein. As used herein with respect to monomer reactants and / or repeat units in the polymers described herein, the term "absent" means present at 0 weight percent based on the weight of all (co)monomers in the (co)polymer, or at such a low level that, even if present, it does not substantially affect the physical properties of the (co)polymer, for example, 0.2 weight percent or less, or 0.1 weight percent or less. As used herein, Mn is the number average molecular weight, Mw is the weight average molecular weight, and Mz is the z average molecular weight. The molecular weight distribution (MWD), also referred to as the polydispersity index (PDI), is defined as Mw divided by Mn. Unless otherwise stated, all molecular weight units (e.g., Mw, Mn, Mz) are reported in g / mol.

[0034] When used in the context of functionalized polymers (e.g., dispersants, functionalized styrenic polymers, etc.), the molecular weight is typically reported relative to the base polymer before modification. For example, the molecular weight of a PIBSA-PAM dispersant is typically reported with respect to the base polyisobutylene polymer before functionalization with an acylating agent (maleic acid or anhydride) and a functional group (e.g., polyamine). With respect to additive components or in the case of a lubricating oil composition (i.e., an unused lubricating oil composition), the "total base number" also referred to as "TBN" means the total base number measured by ASTM D2896 and is reported in units of mg KOH / g. The total acid number ("TAN") is determined by ASTM D664.

[0035] As used herein, the term "saponified matter" means the amount of metal salts, particularly alkali metal salts or alkaline earth metal salts, of organic acids provided by one or more detergents, excluding any overbased substances. Detergents are obtained by neutralizing organic acidic molecules with metal bases. When the detergent is overbased, the organic acid is typically neutralized with a strong metal base in the presence of an acidic gas (often carbon dioxide). As a result, both the organic acid and the acidic gas are converted to metal salts, and the detergent contains an amount of metal in excess of that required to neutralize the organic acid. The amount of metal salts present in the detergent represents the "alkali reserve" or "overbased substance" of the detergent in addition to the metal salts of the organic acid. For example, when an overbased detergent is neutralized with a metal base in the presence of carbon dioxide, the overbased substance consists mostly of metal carbonates. In other words, the amount of detergent (active ingredient) includes or consists of the amount of saponified matter of the detergent + an optional amount of overbased substance of the detergent. Thus, when a lubricating oil composition or concentrate contains an overbased detergent, the mass % of saponified matter is less than the mass % of the detergent based on the total mass of the lubricating oil composition or concentrate. When a lubricating oil composition or concentrate contains only neutral detergents that do not contain any overbased substances, the mass % of saponified matter and the mass % of the detergent based on the total mass of the lubricating oil composition or concentrate are the same. The amount of saponified matter may be determined directly or derived from the material balance of the manufacturing process. In the case of sulfonates, particularly calcium sulfonate, the amount of saponified matter can be measured by ASTM D3712. Further, the amount of saponified matter can be derived using titration methods including two-phase titration, the total acid number (TAN) determined using ASTM D664, dialysis, and other well-known analytical techniques. The amount of alkali metal organic salts or alkaline earth metal organic salts present in the detergent can be determined by dialyzing the detergent and quantifying the amount of residue. When the average molecular weight of the organic salt is unknown, the residue of the dialyzed detergent can be treated with a strong acid to convert the salt to the acid form and analyzed by chromatography, proton NMR, and mass spectrometry and correlated with an organic acid having known properties.

[0036] The contents of phosphorus, boron, calcium, zinc, molybdenum, sodium, silicon, and magnesium are measured according to ASTM D5185. The "sulfur content" in the oil formulation is measured according to ASTM D5185. The sulfuric acid ash ("SASH") content is measured according to ASTM D874. The kinematic viscosity (KV100, KV40) is determined according to ASTM D445-19a and reported in units of cSt unless otherwise specified. The viscosity index is determined according to ASTM D2270. The saponification value is determined according to ASTM D94 and reported in units of mg KOH / g. HTCBT, the high-temperature corrosion bench test, is determined according to ASTM D6594.

[0037] The average functionality [also referred to as the average functionality value (Fv)] and the functionality distribution (Fd) value are determined by gel permeation chromatography using polystyrene standards as described in the experimental section of U.S. Patent Application No. 18 / 480,571, filed October 4, 2023, claiming priority to U.S. Patent Application No. 63 / 379,006, filed October 11, 2022. PIBSA means polyisobutylene succinic anhydride. PIBSA-PAM means polyisobutylene succinimide, e.g., the reaction product of PIBSA and polyamine. Unless otherwise indicated, all percentages reported are mass % on an active ingredient basis, i.e., they are not related to the carrier oil or diluent oil unless otherwise indicated. Unless otherwise indicated, "mass %" has the same meaning as "mass % (weight%)" or "mass % (wt%)" in this specification.

[0061] In the following, further details and preferences regarding the components of the lubricating oil composition and the concentrate of the present invention will be described.

[0062] A. Base Oil The base oil useful herein (also referred to as "base stock", "lubricating oil base stock", or "lubricating viscosity oil") may be a single oil or a blend of oils and is typically the major liquid component of a lubricating composition, also called a lubricant, to which additives and optionally additional oils are blended to produce a lubricating composition, such as a final lubricant composition, a concentrate, or other lubricating compositions.

[0063] The base oil can be selected from vegetable oils, animal oils, mineral oils, synthetic lubricating oils, and mixtures thereof. In terms of viscosity, the base oil can range from light distillate mineral oils to heavy lubricating oils, such as those for gas engine oils, mineral lubricating oils, power vehicle oils, and large diesel oils. Generally, the kinematic viscosity of the base oil at 100 °C (“KV100”) is determined according to ASTM D445-19a and is in the range of 1 to 30 cSt, for example 2 to 25 cSt, for example 5 to 20 cSt, in particular 1.0 cSt to 10 cSt, 1.5 cSt to 3.3 cSt, 2.7 cSt to 8.1 cSt, 3.0 cSt to 7.2 cSt, or 2.5 cSt to 6.5 cSt. Generally, the high-temperature high-shear viscosity (HTHS) of the base oil at 150 °C is determined according to ASTM D4683-20 and is in the range of 0.5 to 20 cP, for example 1 to 10 cP, for example 2 to 5 cP.

[0064] Typically, when using a lubricating oil base stock to produce a concentrate, the lubricating oil base stock may advantageously be present in an amount that results in a concentrate containing 5 wt% to 80 wt%, 10 wt% to 70 wt%, or 5 wt% to 50 wt% of active ingredients, based on the mass of the concentrate. Common oils useful as base oils include animal and vegetable oils (e.g., castor oil and lard oil), liquid petroleum, and paraffinic, naphthenic, and paraffinic-naphthenic mixed type hydrotreated and / or solvent-treated mineral lubricating oils. Oils derived from coal or shale are also useful base oils. The base stock can be produced using a variety of different methods including, but not limited to, distillation, solvent refining, hydrotreating, oligomerization, esterification, and re-refining.

[0065] Synthetic lubricating oils useful herein as base oils include hydrocarbon oils such as polyalphaolefins or PAO, also known as Group IV base oils, which are homopolymers and copolymers of olefins [see API EOLCS 1509 definition (API Publication 1509, Section E.1.3, 19th Edition, January 2021, www.API.org)]. Examples of PAO useful as base oils include poly(ethylene), copolymers of ethylene and propylene, polybutylene, polypropylene, propylene-isobutylene copolymers, chlorinated polybutylene, poly(1-hexene), poly(1-octene), poly(1-decene), C8~C 20 Homopolymers or copolymers of alkenes, C8 and / or C 10 And / or C 12 Homopolymers or copolymers of alkenes, C8 / C 10 Copolymers, C8 / C 10 / C 12 Copolymers, and C 10 / C 12 Copolymers, and derivatives, analogs, and homologs thereof. In another embodiment, the base oil may include a polyalphaolefin having a kinematic viscosity at 100 °C of 10 or more (measured by ASTM D445), preferably having a viscosity index ("VI") of 100 or more, preferably 110 or more, more preferably 120 or more, more preferably 130 or more, more preferably 140 or more as determined by ASTM D2270, and / or a pour point (measured by ASTM D97) of -5 °C or less, more preferably -10 °C or less, more preferably -20 °C or less, and containing oligomers of linear olefins having 6 to 14 carbon atoms, more preferably 8 to 12 carbon atoms, more preferably 10 carbon atoms.

[0066] In another embodiment, the polyalphaolefin oligomers useful in the present disclosure are C 20 ~C 1500 Paraffins, preferably C 40 ~C 1000 Paraffins, preferably C 50 ~C 750Paraffin, preferably C 50 ~C 500 Paraffin may be included. The PAO oligomer, in one embodiment, is C5 - C 14 alpha - olefin, and in another embodiment, is C6 - C 12 alpha - olefin, and in another embodiment, is C8 - C 12 Dimers, trimers, tetramers, pentamers, etc. of alpha - olefins. Suitable olefins include 1 - pentene, 1 - hexene, 1 - heptene, 1 - octene, 1 - nonene, 1 - decene, 1 - undecene, and 1 - dodecene. In one embodiment, the olefin is a combination of 1 - octene, 1 - decene, and 1 - dodecene, or alternatively may be substantially 1 - decene, and the PAO is a mixture of these dimers, trimers, tetramers, and pentamers (and higher order species). Useful PAOs are described in detail, for example, in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,171,908 and 5,783,531, and on pages 1 - 52 of Synthetic Lubricants and High - Performance Functional Fluids (edited by Leslie R. Rudnick & Ronald L. Shubkin, Marcel Dekker, Inc., 1999).

[0067] The PAOs useful in the present disclosure typically have a number - average molecular weight of, in one embodiment, 100 - 21,000 g / mol, in another embodiment, 200 - 10,000 g / mol, in yet another embodiment, 200 - 7,000 g / mol, in yet another embodiment, 200 - 2,000 g / mol, and in yet another embodiment, 200 - 500 g / mol. Desirable PAOs are commercially available as SpectraSyn™ Hi - Vis, SpectraSyn™ Low - Vis, SpectraSyn™ plus, SpectraSyn™ Elite PAO (ExxonMobil Chemical Company, Houston, Texas) and Durasyn PAO from Ineos Oligomers USA LLC.

[0068] Synthetic lubricating oils useful as base oils include hydrocarbon oils such as homopolymerized and copolymerized alkylbenzenes (e.g., dodecylbenzene, tetradecylbenzene, dinonylbenzene, di(2-ethylhexyl)benzene); polyphenols (e.g., biphenyl, terphenyl, alkylated polyphenols); and alkylated diphenyl ethers and alkylated diphenyl sulfides; as well as derivatives, analogs, and homologs thereof.

[0069] Another suitable type of synthetic lubricating oil useful as a base oil includes esters of dicarboxylic acids (e.g., phthalic acid, succinic acid, alkyl succinic acid and alkenyl succinic acid, maleic acid, azelaic acid, suberic acid, sebacic acid, fumaric acid, adipic acid, linoleic acid dimer, malonic acid, alkyl malonic acid, alkenyl malonic acid) reacted with various alcohols (e.g., butyl alcohol, hexyl alcohol, dodecyl alcohol, 2-ethylhexyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol monoether, propylene glycol). Specific examples of such esters include dibutyl adipate, di(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate, di-n-hexyl fumarate, dioctyl sebacate, diisooctyl azelate, diisodecyl azelate, dioctyl phthalate, didecyl phthalate, dieicosyl sebacate, 2-ethylhexyl diester of linoleic acid dimer, and a complex ester formed by reacting 1 mole of sebacic acid with 2 moles of tetraethylene glycol and 2 moles of 2-ethylhexanoic acid.

[0070] Esters useful as synthetic oils herein include those made from C5~C 12 monocarboxylic acids and polyols, as well as polyol ethers such as neopentyl glycol, trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol, dipentaerythritol, and tripentaerythritol. Desirable ester base oils are commercially available as Esterex™ esters (ExxonMobil Chemical Company, Houston, Texas). Silicon-based oils such as polyalkyl-, polyaryl-, polyalkoxy-, or polyaryloxysilicone oils and silicate oils constitute another useful type of synthetic lubricant useful herein. Such oils include tetraethyl silicate, tetraisopropyl silicate, tetra-(2-ethylhexyl) silicate, tetra-(4-methyl-2-ethylhexyl) silicate, tetra-(p-tert-butylphenyl) silicate, hexa-(4-methyl-2-ethylhexyl) disiloxane, poly(methyl) siloxane, and poly(methylphenyl) siloxane. Other synthetic lubricating oils useful herein include liquid esters of phosphorus-containing acids (e.g., tricresyl phosphate, trioctyl phosphate, diethyl ester of decylphosphonic acid), and polymeric tetrahydrofuran.

[0071] Unrefined oils, refined oils, and re-refined oils can be used in the lubricating compositions of the present disclosure. Unrefined oils are oils obtained directly from natural or synthetic sources without further refining treatment. For example, shale oil obtained directly from a retorting operation, petroleum obtained directly from distillation, or ester oils obtained directly from an esterification process and used without further treatment are considered unrefined oils. Refined oils are similar to unrefined oils except that they have been further processed in one or more refining steps to improve one or more properties. Many such refining techniques, such as distillation, solvent extraction, acid or base extraction, filtration, and percolation, are used by those skilled in the art. Re-refined oils are oils obtained by a method similar to the method used to obtain refined oils, to which a refining method is applied to previously used refined oils. Such re-refined oils are also called regenerated oils or reprocessed oils and are often additionally treated to remove spent additives and oil decomposition products. Re-refined base oils preferably are substantially free of substances introduced by manufacture, contamination, or previous use.

[0072] Another example of a useful base oil is a gas-to-liquid (GTL) base oil, i.e., the base oil is an oil derived from hydrocarbons produced from synthesis gas (''syn gas'') containing H2 and CO using a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst. Such hydrocarbons typically require further processing to make them useful as a base oil. For example, such hydrocarbons may be hydroisomerized, hydrocracked and hydroisomerized, dewaxed, or hydroisomerized and dewaxed by methods known in the art. Further information regarding useful GTL base oils and blends thereof can be found in U.S. Patent No. 10,913,916, columns 4, line 62 to column 5, line 60, and U.S. Patent No. 10,781,397, columns 14, line 54 to column 15, line 5, and columns 16, line 44 to column 17, line 55.

[0073] In particular, herein, renewable resources, i.e., oils that are at least partially based on carbon and energy captured from the environment, such as biological resources, are useful. Various base oils are often classified into groups I, II, III, IV, or V according to the API EOLCS 1509 definition (API Publication 1509, Section E.1.3, 19th Edition, January 2021, www.API.org). Generally speaking, group I base stocks have a viscosity index of about 80 - 120 and contain more than about 0.03% sulfur and / or less than about 90% saturates. Group II base stocks have a viscosity index of about 80 - 120 and contain up to about 0.03% sulfur and at least about 90% saturates. Group III base stocks have a viscosity index higher than about 120 and contain up to about 0.03% sulfur and more than about 90% saturates. Group IV base stocks include polyalphaolefins (PAOs). Group V base stocks include base stocks not included in groups I - IV. (The viscosity index is measured by ASTM D2270, saturates are measured by ASTM D2007, and sulfur is measured by ASTM D5185, D2622, ASTM D4294, ASTM D4927, and ASTM D3120).

[0074] The base oils for use in the formulated lubricating compositions useful in the present disclosure are any one, two, three, or more of the various oils described herein. In a preferred embodiment, the base oils for use in the formulated lubricating compositions useful in the present disclosure are oils of API Group I, Group II, Group III (including Group III+), Group IV, and Group V, and mixtures thereof, preferably oils of API Group II, Group III, Group IV, and Group V, and mixtures thereof, more preferably those described as Group III, Group III+, IV, and Group V base oils due to their excellent volatility, stability, viscosity, and clarity characteristics. Small amounts of Group I base stock, for example, in an amount used to dilute additives for blending into formulated lubricating oil products, can be tolerated but are typically kept to a minimum, for example, only in an amount relevant to use as a diluent / carrier oil for the additives used on a "received" basis. With respect to Group II stock, in many cases, it is more useful for the Group II base stock to be in a higher quality range in relation to that stock, i.e., a Group II stock having a viscosity index in the range of 100 - 120.

[0075] The base oils useful herein can be selected from either synthetic oils, natural oils, or re-refined oils (e.g., those typically used as crankcase lubricants for spark-ignition engines and compression-ignition engines). Optionally, mixtures of synthetic base oils and / or natural base oils and / or re-refined base oils may be used. Optionally, multimodal mixtures (e.g., bimodal or trimodal mixtures) of Group I, II, III, IV, and / or V base stocks may be used. The base oil or base oil blend used herein conveniently has a kinematic viscosity (KV100, measured in accordance with ASTM D445-19a and in centistokes (cSt) or the equivalent in mm) at 100 °C of from about 2 to about 40 cSt, alternatively 3 to 30 cSt, alternatively 4 to 20 cSt at 100 °C, alternatively 5 to 10 cSt. 2(reported in units of / s), alternatively, the base oil or base oil blend may have a kinematic viscosity at 100 °C of 2 to 20 cSt, 2.5 to 2 cSt, preferably about 2.5 cSt to about 9 cSt.

[0076] The base oil or base oil blend preferably has a saturation content of at least 65% by mass, more preferably at least 75% by mass, such as at least 85% by mass, such as at least 90% by mass, as determined by ASTM D2007. Preferably, the base oil or base oil blend has a sulfur content of less than 1% by mass, preferably less than 0.6% by mass, most preferably less than 0.4% by mass, such as less than 0.3% by mass, based on the total mass of the lubricating composition, as measured by ASTM D5185. In an embodiment, the volatility of the base oil or base oil blend is measured by the Noack test (ASTM D5800, Procedure B) and is 30% by mass or less, such as 25% by mass or less, such as 20% by mass or less, such as 16% by mass or less, such as 12% by mass or less, such as 10% by mass or less, based on the total mass of the lubricating composition.

[0077] In an embodiment, the viscosity index (VI) of the base oil is at least 95, preferably at least 110, more preferably at least 120, even more preferably at least 125, most preferably about 130 to 240, particularly about 105 to 140 (determined by ASTM D2270). The base oil may be provided in large amounts in combination with one or more small amounts of additive components as described hereinafter that make up the lubricant. This preparation can be achieved by adding the additive directly to the oil or by adding one or more additives in the form of these concentrates to disperse or dissolve the additives. The additives can be added to the oil by any method known to those skilled in the art, either before, simultaneously with, or after the addition of other additives.

[0078] The base oil may be provided in a small amount in combination with one or more small amounts of additive components as described below that make up the additive concentrate. This preparation can be achieved by adding the additive directly to the oil or by adding one or more additives in the form of these solutions, slurries, or suspensions to disperse or dissolve the additive in the oil. The additive can be added to the oil by any method known to those skilled in the art, either before, simultaneously with, or after the addition of other additives. The base oil typically constitutes the main component of the engine oil lubricant composition of the present disclosure and is typically present in an amount in the range of at least 50% by mass, such as from about 50% to about 99% by mass, preferably from about 70% to about 95% by mass, more preferably from about 80% to about 95% by mass, based on the total mass of the composition. In certain embodiments, the lubricating oil composition of the present disclosure comprises one or more base oils in an amount of 50% to 95% by mass, such as 60% to 90% by mass, such as 70% to 85% by mass, based on the total mass of the lubricating oil composition.

[0079] The base oil of the present invention may consist of only one or more Group II base oils, may consist of only one or more Group III base oils, or may consist of only a mixture of one or more Group II base oils and one or more Group III base oils. In certain embodiments, the base oil comprises at least 50% by mass, such as at least 70% by mass, such as at least 90% by mass, of one or more Group II base oils (based on the total mass of the base oils present in the lubricating oil composition). In certain embodiments, the base oil is a mixture of one or more Group II base oils and one or more Group III base oils, and the base oil comprises at least 50% by mass, such as at least 70% by mass, such as at least 90% by mass, of one or more Group II base oils (based on the total mass of the base oils present in the lubricating oil composition). In certain embodiments, the base oil is only one or more Group II base oils. In certain embodiments, the lubricating oil composition of the present invention comprises at least 50% by mass, such as at least 60% by mass, such as at least 65% by mass, of Group II base oils based on the total mass of the lubricating oil composition.

[0080] In certain embodiments, the Group II base oil comprises at least 10%, such as at least 25%, such as at least 50%, such as at least 75%, up to 100% (based on the total mass of the base oil present in the lubricating oil composition) of a Group II base oil having a viscosity of 6 to 7 cSt, such as 6.5 cSt and / or a Group II base oil having a viscosity of 4 to 5 cSt, such as 4.6 cSt. In certain embodiments, the lubricating oil composition comprises at least 45% by mass of Group II oil having a viscosity of less than 6.5 cSt, such as less than 6.0 cSt, such as less than 5.5 cSt, such as less than 5.0 cSt. The base oils described above and blends thereof are useful for making concentrates as well as for making lubricants therefrom.

[0081] The concentrate is a convenient means for handling additives prior to use and for facilitating the dissolution or dispersion of additives into lubricants. When preparing lubricants containing more than one type of additive (sometimes referred to as "additive components"), each additive can be separately incorporated in the form of a concentrate. However, in many cases, it is convenient to provide a so-called additive "package" (also referred to as an "add pack") that contains one or more additives / coconut additives as described below in a single concentrate. Typically, one or more base oils are present in the concentrate composition in an amount of less than 50% by mass, alternatively 40% by mass or less, alternatively 30% by mass or less, alternatively 20% by mass or less, based on the total mass of the concentrate composition. Typically, one or more base oils are present in the concentrate composition in an amount of 0.1 to 49% by mass, alternatively 5 to 40% by mass, alternatively 10 to 30% by mass, alternatively 15 to 25% by mass, based on the mass of the concentrate composition. In the present disclosure, for the sake of clarity, any diluent used to dilute the active ingredients of the components of the lubricating oil composition of the present invention or the components of the concentrate is not considered to be a "base oil" in the sense of the separate components described herein.

[0082] B. Dispersant During engine operation, oil-insoluble oxidation by-products are generated. The dispersant aids in the retention of such by-products in solution and thus reduces the deposition of by-products on the metal surface. The dispersants used in formulating the lubricating compositions herein may be ashless in nature or ash-forming. Preferably, the dispersant is ashless. So-called ashless dispersants are organic substances that do not substantially form ash upon combustion. For example, non-metal-containing dispersants or boronated metal-free dispersants are considered ashless. In contrast, metal-containing detergents tend to form ash upon combustion.

[0083] Dispersants useful herein typically include polar groups attached to relatively high molecular weight hydrocarbon chains. The polar groups typically include at least one element of nitrogen, oxygen, or phosphorus. Typical hydrocarbon chains contain from 40 to 500, for example 50 to 400, carbon atoms.

[0084] Dispersant of (poly) alkenyl succinic acid derivative Particularly useful types of dispersants typically include long-chain hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic compounds, usually (poly)alkenyl succinic derivatives produced by the reaction of hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydrides with polyhydroxy or polyamino compounds. The long-chain hydrocarbyl groups that constitute the lipophilic portion of the molecules imparting solubility in oils are often polyisobutylene groups (typically, long-chain hydrocarbyl groups, such as polyisobutylene groups, have a Mn of 400 to 3000 g / mol, such as 450 to 2500 g / mol). Many examples of this type of dispersant are well known commercially and in the literature. Exemplary U.S. patents in which such dispersants are described include U.S. Patent Nos. 3,172,892; 3,214,5707; 3,219,666; 3,316,177; 3,341,542; 3,444,170; 3,454,607; 3,541,012; 3,630,904; 3,632,511; 3,787,374; and 4,234,435. Other types of dispersants are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,036,003; 3,200,107; 3,254,025; 3,275,554; 3,438,757; 3,454,555; 3,565,804; 3,413,347; 3,697,574; 3,725,277; 3,725,480; 3,726,882; 4,454,059; 3,329,658; 3,449,250; 3,519,565; 3,666,730; 3,687,849; 3,702,300; 4,100,082; and 5,705,458.

[0085] Hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic acids and hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydride derivatives are useful dispersants. In particular, succinimides, succinic esters, or succinic ester amides prepared by reacting a hydrocarbon-substituted succinic acid or anhydride compound (typically having at least 25 carbon atoms, e.g., 28 to 400 carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon substituent) with at least 1 equivalent of a polyhydroxy or polyamino compound (e.g., an alkylene amine) are particularly useful herein. Hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic acids and hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydride derivatives may have a number average molecular weight of at least 400 g / mol, e.g., at least 900 g / mol, e.g., at least 1500 g / mol, e.g., 400 to 4000 g / mol, e.g., 800 to 3000, e.g., 2000 to 2800 g / mol, e.g., about 2100 to 2500 g / mol, e.g., about 2200 to about 2400 g / mol.

[0086] The succinimides that are particularly useful herein are formed by the condensation reaction of 1) a hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydride, such as polyisobutylene succinic anhydride (PIBSA), and 2) a polyamine (PAM). Examples of suitable polyamines include polyhydrocarbyl polyamines, polyalkylene polyamines, hydroxy-substituted polyamines, polyoxyalkylene polyamines, and combinations thereof. Examples of polyamines include tetraethylenepentamine, pentaethylenehexamine, tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA), pentaethylenehaxamine (PEHA), N-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (ADPA), and other polyamines having on average 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 nitrogen atoms per molecule. Mixtures in which the average number of nitrogen atoms per polyamine molecule is greater than 7 are generally referred to as heavy polyamines or H-PAM and may be commercially available under trade names such as HPA (trademark) and HPA-X (trademark) from The Dow Chemical Company, E-100 (trademark) from Huntsman Chemical Company, etc. Examples of hydroxy-substituted polyamines include N-hydroxyalkyl-alkylene polyamines, such as N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine, N-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine, and / or N-hydroxyalkylated alkylene diamines of the type described in, for example, U.S. Patent No. 4,873,009. Examples of polyoxyalkylene polyamines include polyoxyethylene having an average Mn of about 200 to about 5000 g / mol and / or polyoxypropylene diamines and triamines (and their co-oligomers). Products of this type are commercially available under the trade name Jeffmine (trademark). Representative examples of useful succinimides are shown in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,087,936, 3,172,892, 3,219,666, 3,272,746, 3,322,670, 3,652,616, 3,948,800, and 6,821,307, and Canadian Patent No. 1,094,044.

[0087] The dispersant may contain one or more optionally boronated succinimides of higher molecular weight (Mn 1600 g / mol or more, for example 1800 - 3000 g / mol), and one or more optionally boronated succinimides of lower molecular weight (Mn less than 1600 g / mol). The higher molecular weight may be 1600 - 3000 g / mol, for example 1700 - 2800 g / mol, for example 1800 - 2500 g / mol, for example 1850 - 2300 g / mol, and the lower molecular weight may be less than 600 - 1600 g / mol, for example 650 - 1500 g / mol, for example 700 - 1400 g / mol, for example 800 - 1300 g / mol, for example 850 - 1200 g / mol, for example 900 - 1150 g / mol, for example 900 - 1000 g / mol. In certain embodiments, the higher molecular weight succinimide dispersant is present in the lubricating composition in an amount of 0.5 - 10% by mass, or 0.8 - 6% by mass, or 1.0 - 5% by mass, or 1.2 - 4% by mass, or 1.5 - 3.0% by mass. In certain embodiments, the higher molecular weight succinimide dispersant is present in the lubricating composition in an amount of 0.5 - 10% by mass, or 0.8 - 6% by mass, or 1.0 - 5% by mass, or 1.2 - 4% by mass, or 1.5 - 3.0% by mass, and the lower molecular weight succinimide dispersant may be present in the lubricating composition in an amount of 0.5 - 10% by mass, or 0.8 - 6% by mass, or 1.0 - 5% by mass, or 1.2 - 4% by mass, or 1.5 - 3.0% by mass. The lower molecular weight succinimide may differ from the higher molecular weight succinimide by 500 g / mol or more, for example 750 g / mol or more, for example 1000 g / mol or more, for example 1200 g / mol, for example 500 - 3000 g / mol, for example 750 - 2000 g / mol, for example 1000 - 1500 g / mol.

[0088] Useful succinic esters as dispersants include those formed by the condensation reaction of a hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydride with an alcohol or a polyol. For example, the condensation product of a hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydride and pentaerythritol is a useful dispersant. The succinic acid esters useful herein are formed by the condensation reaction of a hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydride with an alkanolamine. Suitable alkanolamines include ethoxylated polyalkyl polyamines, propoxylated polyalkyl polyamines, and polyalkenyl polyamines such as polyethylene polyamines and / or propoxylated hexamethylenediamine. Representative examples are shown in U.S. Patent No. 4,426,305.

[0089] Hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydride (e.g., PIBSA) esters of hydrocarbyl-bridged aryloxy alcohols are also useful as dispersants herein. Information regarding such dispersants can be found in U.S. Patent No. 7,485,603, particularly columns 2, line 65 to column 6, line 22 and column 23, line 40 to column 26, line 46. In particular, the PIBSA ester of methylene-bridged naphthyloxyethanol (i.e., 2-hydroxyethyl-1-naphthol ether (or a hydroxy-terminated ethylene oxide oligomer ether of naphthol)) is useful herein. In certain embodiments of the present invention, the lubricating oil composition or concentrate does not contain or substantially does not contain the PIBSA ester of methylene-bridged naphthyloxyethanol, e.g., less than 0.6 wt%, e.g., less than 0.4 wt%, e.g., less than 0.2 wt%, e.g., less than 0.1 wt% based on the total mass of the lubricating oil composition. In certain embodiments, the lubricating oil composition or concentrate does not contain or substantially does not contain the PIBSA ester of methylene-bridged naphthyloxyethanol.

The above (poly)alkenyl succinic acid derivatives may be post-reacted with various reagents such as sulfur, oxygen, formaldehyde, carboxylic acids such as oleic acid. The above (poly) alkenyl succinic acid derivative may be post-reacted with a boron compound, such as boric acid, boric acid ester, or a hyper-boronated dispersant, to form a boronated dispersant having about 0.1 to about 5 moles of boron per mole of the dispersant reaction product.

[0091] Dispersants useful herein include boronated succinimides containing derivatives derived from monosuccinimide, bis-succinimide, and / or mixtures of monosuccinimide and bis-succinimide.

The dispersants may together be present in the lubricant in an amount of 2% to 20% by mass, such as 2 to 15% by mass, such as 2 to 10% by mass, such as 3 to 8% by mass, such as 4 to 6% by mass, such as 4.5 to 5.5% by mass, based on the total mass of the lubricating oil composition. The boron-containing dispersant may be present in an amount of 0.01% to 20% by mass, or 0.02% to 15% by mass, or 0.04% to 10% by mass, or 0.06% to 5% by mass, or 0.08% to 1% by mass, or 0.1% to 0.5% by mass, based on the total mass of the lubricating composition. The boron-containing dispersant may be present in an amount that delivers 15 ppm to 2000 ppm, or 25 ppm to 1000 ppm, or 40 ppm to 600 ppm, or 45 ppm to 350 ppm, or 50 ppm to 150 ppm, or 60 ppm to 100 ppm of boron to the composition.

[0100] Dispersant of Mannich base The Mannich base dispersants useful herein are typically made from the reaction of an amine component, a hydroxyaromatic compound (substituted or unsubstituted, such as alkyl-substituted), such as an alkylphenol, with an aldehyde, such as formaldehyde. See U.S. Patent Nos. 4,767,551 and 10,899,986. Also, processing aids and catalysts, such as oleic acid and sulfonic acid, may be part of the reaction mixture. Representative examples are shown in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,697,574, 3,703,536, 3,704,308, 3,751,365, 3,756,953, 3,798,165, 3,803,039, 4,231,759, 9,938,479, 7,491,248, and 10,899,986, and International Publication No. 01 / 42399 pamphlet.

[0101] Dispersant of polymethacrylate or polyacrylate derivative Polymethacrylate or polyacrylate derivatives are another type of dispersant useful herein. Such dispersants are typically prepared by reacting a nitrogen-containing monomer with a methacrylic acid ester or acrylic acid ester containing 5 to 25 carbon atoms in the ester group. Representative examples are shown in U.S. Patent Nos. 2,100,993 and 6,323,164. Polymethacrylate and polyacrylate dispersants are typically of lower molecular weight. In certain embodiments, the dispersants used in the lubricating oil compositions and additive concentrates of the present invention do not include Mannich base dispersants and / or poly(meth)acrylate dispersants. The lubricating compositions of the present disclosure typically include 0.1 wt% to 20 wt% of the composition, such as 0.2 to 15 wt% of the lubricating oil composition, such as 0.25 to 10 wt%, such as 0.3 to 5 wt%, such as 2.0 wt% to 4.0 wt% of a dispersant. Alternatively, the dispersant may be present at 0.1 wt% to 5 wt% or 0.01 wt% to 4 wt% of the lubricating composition.

[0102] For further information regarding dispersants useful herein, see columns 13, line 36 through column 16, line 67 of U.S. Patent No. 10,829,712, and columns 2, line 65 through column 6, line 22, columns 8, line 25 through column 14, line 53, and columns 23, line 40 through column 26, line 46 of U.S. Patent No. 7,485,603. The compositions according to the present disclosure may include additives having different notation functions that also have a secondary effect as dispersants (e.g., functionalized polymer P), in particular, C described below herein as a functionalized polymer 4~5 Amide, imide, and / or ester functionalized polymers containing an olefin-containing partially or fully saturated polymer backbone can also exhibit a dispersant effect). Such additives are not included in the dispersants for the purpose of determining the amount of dispersant in the lubricating oil composition or concentrate herein.

[0103] C. Detergent The lubricating composition may contain one or more metal detergents, also referred to as "detergent additives" (e.g., metal detergent friends). Metal detergents typically function both as detergents to reduce or remove deposits and as acid neutralizers or rust inhibitors, thereby reducing wear and corrosion and extending engine life. Detergents generally contain a polar head with a long-chain hydrophobic tail, and the polar head contains a metal salt of an acidic organic compound. Such salts may contain substantially stoichiometric amounts of metal, in which case such salts are usually described as normal or neutral salts and typically will have a total base number ("TBN" measured by ASTM D2896) of up to 150 mg KOH / g, e.g., 0 to 80 (or 5 to 30) mg KOH / g. By reacting an excess metal compound (e.g., an oxide or hydroxide) with an acidic gas (e.g., carbon dioxide), a large amount of metal base can be incorporated. Such detergents are sometimes referred to as overbased and may have a TBN of 100 mg KOH / g or more (e.g., 200 mg KOH / g or more), typically 250 mg KOH / g or more, e.g., 300 mg KOH / g or more, e.g., 150 to 800 mg KOH / g, 200 to 700 mg KOH / g, 225 to 600 mg KOH / g, e.g., 275 to 500 mg KOH / g, e.g., 300 to 450 mg KOH / g.

[0105] Overbased metal-containing detergents may be sodium salts, calcium salts, magnesium salts, or mixtures thereof of phenates, sulfur-containing phenates, sulfonates, salixarates, and salicylates. Overbased phenates and salicylates typically have a total base number of 180 - 650 mg KOH / g, e.g., 200 - 450 TBN mg KOH / g. Overbased sulfonates typically have a total base number of 250 - 600 mg KOH / g, or 300 - 500 mg KOH / g.

[0114] Sulfonate detergents can be prepared from sulfonic acids typically obtained by sulfonation of alkyl-substituted aromatic hydrocarbons, such as those obtained from the fractional distillation of petroleum or by alkylation of aromatic hydrocarbons. Examples include those obtained by alkylating benzene, toluene, xylene, naphthalene, diphenyl, or halogen derivatives thereof, such as chlorobenzene, chlorotoluene, and chloronaphthalene. The alkylation can be carried out in the presence of a catalyst with an alkylating agent having from about 3 to more than 70 carbon atoms. Alkaryl sulfonates usually contain from about 9 to about 80 or more carbon atoms, preferably from about 16 to about 60 carbon atoms, per alkyl-substituted aromatic moiety. The oil-soluble sulfonate or alkaryl sulfonic acid can be neutralized with metal oxides, hydroxides, alkoxides, carbonates, carboxylates, sulfides, hydrosulfides, nitrates, borates, and ethers. The amount of the metal compound is selected considering the desired TBN of the final product, but is typically in the range of about 100 to 220% by weight (preferably at least 125% by weight) of the stoichiometrically required amount.

[0115] Metal salts of phenol and sulfurized phenol are prepared by reaction of a suitable metal compound, such as an oxide or hydroxide, and neutral or overbased products can be obtained by methods well known in the art. Sulfurized phenol can be prepared by reacting phenol with sulfur or a sulfur-containing compound, such as hydrogen sulfide, sulfur monohalide, or sulfur dihalide, to form a product which is generally a mixture of compounds in which two or more phenols are bridged by sulfur-containing linkages.

[0116] Carboxylate detergents, such as salicylates, can be prepared by reacting an aromatic carboxylic acid (e.g., C 5~100 , C 9~30 , C 14~24 alkyl-substituted hydroxybenzoic acid) with a suitable metal compound, such as an oxide or hydroxide, and neutral or overbased products can be obtained by methods well known in the art. The aromatic portion of the aromatic carboxylic acid may contain heteroatoms, such as nitrogen and oxygen. Preferably, this portion contains only carbon atoms, and more preferably, this portion contains 6 or more carbon atoms. For example, a preferred portion is benzene. The aromatic carboxylic acid may contain one or more aromatic portions, such as one or more benzene rings, which are either fused or connected via alkylene linkages.

[0117] Preferred substituents of the oil-soluble salicylic acid are alkyl substituents. In alkyl-substituted salicylic acid, the alkyl group preferably contains 5 to 100, more preferably 9 to 30, and particularly 14 to 20 carbon atoms. When more than one alkyl group is present, the average number of carbon atoms of all alkyl groups is preferably at least 9 in order to ensure reasonable oil solubility. Furthermore, since the metal organic and inorganic base salts used as detergents can contribute to the sulfuric acid ash content of the lubricating oil composition, in embodiments of the present disclosure, the amount of such additives is minimized. To maintain a low sulfur level, salicylate detergents can be used, and the lubricating compositions herein may contain one or more salicylate detergents (the detergents are preferably used in an amount in the range of 0.05 to 20.0% by weight, more preferably 1.0 to 10.0% by weight, and most preferably 2.0 to 5.0% by weight based on the total weight of the lubricating composition).

Preferably, one or more detergents are present in an amount that together provides less than 0.8% by weight, such as less than 0.7% by weight, such as less than 0.6% by weight, such as less than 0.55% by weight of saponified matter based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition. More preferably, one or more detergents are present in an amount that together provides 0.2 to 0.8% by weight, such as 0.3 to 0.7% by weight, such as 0.4 to 0.6% by weight, such as 0.45 to 0.55% by weight of saponified matter based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition.

[0119] In certain embodiments, sulfonate detergents (e.g., Ca and / or Mg sulfonate detergents) may be present in an amount that provides 0.2 to 0.8% by weight, such as 0.3 to 0.7% by weight, such as 0.4 to 0.6% by weight, such as 0.45 to 0.55% by weight of sulfonate saponified matter based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition. Alternatively, the salicylate detergent (e.g., Ca and / or Mg salicylate detergent) may be present in an amount that provides 0.2 to 0.8% by weight, such as 0.3 to 0.7% by weight, such as 0.4 to 0.6% by weight, such as 0.45 to 0.55% by weight of the saponified product, based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition. Alternatively, the sulfonate saponified product may be present in an amount of 0.1% to 0.8% by weight of the lubricant composition, and the salicylate saponified product may be present in an amount of 0.1% to 0.8% by weight of the lubricant composition.

Preferably, a lubricating composition formulated for use in a large diesel engine contains less than 0.8% by weight, such as less than 0.7% by weight, such as less than 0.6% by weight, such as less than 0.55% by weight of the saponified product, more preferably a detergent in an amount that provides 0.2 to 0.8% by weight, such as 0.3 to 0.7% by weight, such as 0.4 to 0.6% by weight, such as 0.45 to 0.55% by weight of the saponified product, based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition.

[0121] In certain embodiments, the lubricating oil compositions and concentrates of the present invention do not contain a phenate detergent and / or a salicylate detergent. Preferably, the lubricating oil compositions and additive concentrates of the present invention do not contain or substantially contain a phenate detergent, for example, less than 1.2% by weight, such as less than 1.0% by weight, such as less than 0.5% by weight, based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition or additive concentrate, and / or do not contain or substantially contain a salicylate detergent, for example, less than 1.2% by weight, such as less than 1.0% by weight, such as less than 0.5% by weight, based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition or additive concentrate.

Specific examples of such additives are described, for example, in Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 3rd Edition, Volume 14, pages 477 - 526, and some are discussed in more detail below.

[0122] D. Friction Modifiers A friction modifier is any one or more substances that can change the coefficient of friction of a surface lubricated by any lubricant or a fluid containing such a substance. Friction modifiers, also known as friction reducers or lubricity agents or oiliness agents, and other such agents that can change the ability of a base oil, formulated lubricant composition, or functional fluid to adjust the coefficient of friction of a lubricated surface can be effectively used in combination with the base oil or lubricant composition of the present disclosure as needed. It is particularly advantageous to combine a friction modifier that reduces the coefficient of friction with the base oil and lubricant composition of the present disclosure.

[0123] Exemplary friction modifiers can include, for example, organometallic compounds or substances or mixtures thereof. Exemplary organometallic friction modifiers useful in the lubricating oil formulations of the present disclosure can include, for example, tungsten and / or molybdenum compounds, such as molybdenum amines, molybdenum diamines, organotungstenates, molybdenum dithiocarbamates, molybdenum dithiophosphates, molybdenum amine complexes, and molybdenum carboxylates, and mixtures thereof. Examples of useful molybdenum-containing compounds can conveniently include molybdenum carbamate, such as the trinuclear molybdenum compound described in WO 98 / 26030 pamphlet, molybdenum sulfide, and molybdenum dithiophosphate. Other known friction modifiers include oil-soluble organomolybdenum compounds. Such organomolybdenum friction modifiers can also provide antioxidant and antiwear benefits to lubricating oil compositions. Examples of such oil-soluble organomolybdenum compounds include dithiocarbamates, dithiophosphates, dithiophosphinates, xanthates, thioxanthates, and sulfides, among others, as well as mixtures thereof. Particularly preferred are molybdenum dithiocarbamate, molybdenum dialkyldithiophosphate, molybdenum alkylxanthate, and molybdenum alkylthioxanthate.

[0124] In addition, the molybdenum compound may be an acidic molybdenum compound. Such compounds react with basic nitrogen compounds and are typically hexavalent as measured by the ASTM test D664 or D2896 titration procedure. Molybdic acid, ammonium molybdate, sodium molybdate, potassium molybdate, and other alkali metal molybdates, and other molybdenum salts, such as sodium hydrogen molybdate, MoOC l4 , MoO2Br2, Mo2O3C l6 , molybdenum trioxide, or similar acidic molybdenum compounds are included. Molybdenum compounds useful in the compositions of the present disclosure include organomolybdenum compounds of the formulas Mo(R’’OCS2)4 and Mo(R’’SCS2)4, where R’’ is an organic group generally selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, and alkoxyalkyl having from 1 to 30 carbon atoms, preferably from 2 to 12 carbon atoms, and most preferably alkyl having from 2 to 12 carbon atoms.

All ligands / organic groups should have at least 21 carbon atoms, such as at least 25, at least 30, or at least 35 carbon atoms.

[0126] In certain embodiments of the present invention, the friction modifier is an inorganic or organometallic molybdenum compound. In certain embodiments, the friction modifier is molybdenum dialkyldithiocarbamate. In certain embodiments, the friction modifier is a trinuclear molybdenum compound. In certain embodiments, the lubricating oil composition of the present disclosure contains at least 10 ppm, at least 30 ppm, at least 40 ppm, more preferably at least 50 ppm, or at least 60 ppm of molybdenum (measured as molybdenum atoms). In certain other embodiments, the lubricating oil composition contains no or substantially no molybdenum (Mo), e.g., less than 60 ppm, such as less than 50 ppm, such as less than 40 ppm of Mo. For further information regarding useful friction modifiers containing Mo, see U.S. Patent No. 10,829,712 (column 8, line 58 to column 11, line 31).

[0127] The lubricating oil composition of the present disclosure may contain an ashless friction modifier. The ashless friction modifier is generally known and includes esters formed by reacting carboxylic acids and anhydrides with alkanol and amine-based friction modifiers. Other useful friction modifiers generally include polar end groups (e.g., carboxyl or hydroxyl) covalently bonded to a lipophilic hydrocarbon chain. The esters of carboxylic acids and anhydrides with alkanol are described in U.S. Patent No. 4,702,850. Examples of other conventional organic friction modifiers are described in M. Belzer, "Journal of Tribology" (1992), Vol. 114, pp. 675-682, and M. Belzer and S. Jahanmir, "Lubrication Science" (1988), Vol. 1, pp. 3-26. Typically, the total amount of the organic ashless friction modifier in the lubricant according to the present disclosure does not exceed 5% by mass, preferably does not exceed 2% by mass, and more preferably does not exceed 0.5% by mass based on the total mass of the lubricating oil composition.

[0128] Exemplary friction modifiers useful in the lubricating compositions described herein include, for example, alkoxylated fatty acid esters, alkanolamides, polyol fatty acid esters, glycerol borate fatty acid esters, fatty alcohol ethers, and mixtures thereof. Exemplary alkoxylated fatty acid esters include, for example, polyoxyethylene stearate and fatty acid polyglycol esters.

Such examples include polyol esters and hydroxyl-containing polyol esters. In certain embodiments of the present invention, the friction modifier is an organic ashless friction modifier, particularly glycerol monooleate. Exemplary glycerol borate fatty acid esters include, for example, glycerol monooleate borate, saturated mono-, di-, and triglyceride ester borates, and glycerol monostearate borate. In addition to glycerol polyols, such examples include trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol, and sorbitan. Such esters may be polyol monocarboxylic acid esters, polyol dicarboxylic acid esters, and optionally polyol tricarboxylic acid esters. Preferred are glycerol monooleate, glycerol dioleate, glycerol trioleate, glycerol monooleate, glycerol distearate, and glycerol tristearate, and the corresponding glycerol monopalmitate, glycerol dipalmitate, and glycerol tripalmitate, and their respective isostearates and linoleates. In this specification, in particular, ethoxylated, propoxylated, and / or butoxylated fatty acid esters of polyols, where glycerol is used as the base polyol, are useful.

[0130] Exemplary aliphatic alcohol ethers include, for example, stearyl ether and myristyl ether. Alcohols having from C3 to C 50 with the number of carbon atoms can be ethoxylated, propoxylated, or butoxylated to form the corresponding fatty alkyl ethers. The underlying alcohol moiety is preferably stearyl, myristyl, C 11 to C 13 hydrocarbons, oleyl, and isostearyl, etc. may also be used. The useful concentration of the friction modifier, when present, may range from 0.01 wt% to 5 wt%, or about 0.01 wt% to about 2.5 wt%, or about 0.02 wt% to about 1.5 wt%, or about 0.03 wt% to about 1.0 wt%, or about 0.04 wt% to about 0.5 wt%, or about 0.05 wt% to about 0.2 wt%. The concentration of the molybdenum (Mo) - containing substance is often described in terms of the Mo metal concentration. The advantageous concentration of Mo in the lubricating oil composition may range from 25 ppm to 700 ppm or higher, and in many cases, the preferred range is 50 - 200 ppm. Any type of friction modifier may be used alone or in combination with the substances of the present disclosure. In many cases, mixtures of two or more friction modifiers, or mixtures of friction modifiers and alternative surfactants are also desirable. Herein, for example, combinations of Mo - containing compounds and polyol fatty acid esters, such as glycerol monooleate, are useful.

[0131] E. Antioxidants Antioxidants retard the oxidative degradation of the base oil during service. Such degradation can lead to deposits on metal surfaces, the presence of sludge, and an increase in the viscosity of the lubricant. A wide variety of oxidation inhibitors are useful in lubricating oil compositions. See, for example, Lubricants and Related Products, Klamann, Wiley VCH, 1984; U.S. Patent Nos. 4,798,684 and 5,084,197.

[0132] Useful antioxidants include hindered phenols. Such phenolic antioxidants may be ashless (metal-free) phenolic compounds or neutral or basic metal salts of certain phenolic compounds. Typical phenolic antioxidant compounds are hindered phenolic substances containing sterically hindered hydroxyl groups, and examples of such include derivatives of dihydroxyaryl compounds in which the hydroxyl groups are in the ortho or para positions to each other. Typical phenolic antioxidants include C 6+ hindered phenols substituted with alkyl groups and alkylene coupling derivatives of such hindered phenols. Examples of this type of phenolic substance include 2-t-butyl-4-heptylphenol, 2-t-butyl-4-octylphenol, 2-t-butyl-4-dodecylphenol, 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-heptylphenol, 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-dodecylphenol, 2-methyl-6-t-butyl-4-heptylphenol, and 2-methyl-6-t-butyl-4-dodecylphenol. Other useful hindered monophenolic antioxidants can include, for example, hindered 2,6-di-alkyl-phenolic propionate esters derivatives. In this specification, bis-phenolic antioxidants can also be advantageously used. Examples of ortho-coupling phenols include 2,2'-bis(4-heptyl-6-t-butyl-phenol), 2,2'-bis(4-octyl-6-t-butyl-phenol), and 2,2'-bis(4-dodecyl-6-t-butyl-phenol).

Typical examples of non-phenolic antioxidants include alkylated and non-alkylated aromatic amines, such as aromatic monoamines of the formula R8R9R 10 N, wherein R8 is an aliphatic group, an aromatic group, or a substituted aromatic group, R9 is an aromatic group or a substituted aromatic group, and R 10 is H, alkyl, aryl, or R 11 S(O)XR 12 wherein R 11 is an alkylene group, an alkenylene group, or an aralkylene group, R 12 is an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an aryl group, or an alkaryl group, and x is 0, 1, or 2. The aliphatic group R8 may contain from 1 to about 20 carbon atoms, preferably from about 6 to 12 carbon atoms. The aliphatic group is typically a saturated aliphatic group. Preferably, both R8 and R9 are aromatic groups or substituted aromatic groups, and the aromatic group may be a condensed ring aromatic group, such as naphthyl. The aromatic groups R8 and R9 may be joined together with other groups, such as S.

[0135] Typical aromatic amine antioxidants have an alkyl substituent of at least about 6 carbon atoms. Examples of aliphatic groups include hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, and decyl. Generally, the aliphatic group will not contain more than about 14 carbon atoms. General types of amine antioxidants useful in the present composition include diphenylamine, phenylnaphthylamine, phenothiazine, imidodibenzyl, and diphenylphenylenediamine. Mixtures of two or more aromatic amines are also useful. Polymeric amine antioxidants can also be used. Specific examples of aromatic amine antioxidants useful in the present disclosure include p,p'-dioctyldiphenylamine, t-octylphenyl-alpha-naphthylamine, phenyl-alpha-naphthylamine, and p-octylphenyl-alpha-naphthylamine.

[0136] Sulfur-containing antioxidants are also useful herein. In particular, one or more oil-soluble or oil-dispersible sulfur-containing antioxidants can be used as antioxidant additives. For example, alkylphenol sulfides and their alkali metal salts or alkaline earth metal salts are also useful antioxidants herein. Preferably, the lubricating oil composition of the present disclosure provides 0.02 to 0.2, preferably 0.02 to 0.15, more preferably 0.02 to 0.1, even more preferably 0.04 to 0.1% by mass of sulfur based on the total mass of the lubricating oil composition. One or more sulfur-containing antioxidants in an amount may be included. Optionally, the oil-soluble or oil-dispersible sulfur-containing antioxidant is sulfurized C4-C 25 olefins, sulfurized aliphatic (C7-C 29 ) hydrocarbyl fatty acid esters, ashless sulfurized phenol-based antioxidants, sulfur-containing organic molybdenum compounds, and combinations thereof. For further information regarding sulfur-containing substances useful as antioxidants herein, see U.S. Patent No. 10,731,101 (column 15, line 55 to column 22, line 12).

[0137] Additional typical antioxidants include Irganox™ L67, Ethanox™ 4702, Lanxess Additin™ RC7110; Ethanox™ 4782J; Irganox™ 1135, Irganox™ 5057, sulfurized lard oil, rapeseed oil, and palm oil fatty acid methyl ester. Antioxidants useful herein include sulfurized methyl ester antioxidants such as sulfurized rapeseed oil fatty acid methyl ester, hindered phenols, and / or arylamines. In certain embodiments, the antioxidants useful herein are selected from sulfurized methyl ester antioxidants such as sulfurized rapeseed oil fatty acid methyl ester, and / or arylamines. Such antioxidants can be used individually by type or in combination with each other. In certain embodiments, the antioxidants used in the lubricating oil compositions and concentrates of the present invention comprise, and particularly consist of, alkylated diphenylamine antioxidants and sulfurized methyl ester antioxidants such as sulfurized rapeseed oil fatty acid methyl ester.

[0138] The antioxidant additive can be used in an amount of about 0.01 to 10% by weight, alternatively 0.05 to 5% by weight, alternatively 0.1 to 4.5% by weight, alternatively 0.5 to 4% by weight, alternatively 1 to 3.5% by weight, alternatively 2.5 to 3.5% by weight, based on the weight of the lubricating composition. The compositions according to the present disclosure may include additives having different notational functions that also have a secondary effect as antioxidants (for example, phosphorus-containing antiwear agents (such as ZDDP) can also exhibit an antioxidant effect). Such additives are not included in the antioxidants for the purpose of determining the amount of antioxidants in the lubricating oil composition or concentrate herein.

[0139] F. Pour Point Depressant Conventional pour point depressants (also known as lubricating oil flow improvers) can be added to the compositions of the present disclosure, if desired. Adding such pour point depressants to the lubricating compositions of the present disclosure can lower the lowest temperature at which the fluid will flow or can be poured. Examples of suitable pour point depressants include polymethacrylates, polyacrylates, polyaryl amides, condensation products of haloparaffin waxes and aromatic compounds, vinyl carboxylate polymers, and terpolymers of dialkyl fumarates, vinyl esters of fatty acids, and allyl vinyl ethers. U.S. Patent Nos. 1,815,022, 2,015,748, 2,191,498, 2,387,501, 2,655,479, 2,666,746, 2,721,877, 2,721,878, and 3,250,715 describe useful pour point depressants and / or their preparation. Such additives can be used in amounts of about 0.01 to 5% by weight, preferably about 0.01 to 1.5% by weight, based on the weight of the lubricating composition.

[0140] G. Antifoaming Agents Advantageously, antifoaming agents can be added to the lubricant compositions described herein. Such agents prevent or delay the formation of stable bubbles. Silicones and / or organic polymers are typical antifoaming agents. For example, polysiloxanes, such as silicone oils or polydimethylsiloxane, provide antifoaming properties.

[0141] Antifoaming agents are commercially available and can be used in small amounts, for example, 5% by weight or less, 3% by weight or less, 1% by weight or less, 0.1% by weight or less, for example, 0.001% to 5% by weight, for example, 0.002 to 3% by weight, for example, 0.003 to 1% by weight, based on the weight of the lubricating composition.

[0142] For example, a lubricating oil composition is an antifoaming agent comprising a polyalkylsiloxane, such as a polydialkylsiloxane, wherein, for example, the alkyl is C1-C 10It may contain an antifoaming agent, which may be an alkyl group and may also be polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), also known as silicone oil. Alternatively, the siloxane is a poly(R 3 ) siloxane, where R 3 is typically one or more identical or different linear, branched, or cyclic hydrocarbyls having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, such as alkyl or aryl, for example, poly(R 3 ) siloxane. For example, the lubricating oil composition may contain a polymeric siloxane compound according to the following formula 1, where R 1 and R 2 may independently be methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, or decyl, phenyl, naphthyl, alkyl-substituted phenyl, or isomers thereof (e.g., methyl, phenyl), and n may be from 2 to 1000, such as from 50 to 450, or alternatively, for example, from 40 to 100.

[0143] In addition or alternatively, the lubricating oil composition may contain an organically modified siloxane (OMS), for example, a siloxane modified with an organic group such as a polyether (e.g., ethylene-propylene oxide copolymer), a long-chain hydrocarbyl (e.g., C 11 -C 100 alkyl), or an aryl (e.g., C6-C 14 aryl). For example, the lubricating oil composition may contain an organically modified siloxane compound according to formula 1, where n may be from 2 to 2000, such as from 50 to 450 (alternatively, for example, from 40 to 100), R 1 and R 2 may be the same or different, and optionally, each of R 1 and R 2 may independently be an organic group selected from, for example, a polyether (e.g., ethylene-propylene oxide copolymer), a long-chain hydrocarbyl (e.g., C 11 -C 100 alkyl), or an aryl (e.g., C6-C 14 aryl). Preferably, R 1and R 2 One of them is CH3.

Chemical formula

[0144] Based on the total mass of the lubricant composition, the siloxane according to Formula 1 is incorporated to provide about 0.1 to less than about 30 ppm of Si, or about 0.1 to about 25 ppm of Si, or about 0.1 to about 20 ppm of Si, or about 0.1 to about 15 ppm of Si, or about 0.1 to about 10 ppm of Si. More preferably, it is in the range of about 3 to 10 ppm of Si. In embodiments, silicone defoamers useful herein such as Dow Corning FS-1265 (1000 centistokes), Dow Corning DC-200, and Union Carbide UC-L45 are available from Dow Corning Corporation and Union Carbide Corporation. Silicone defoamers useful herein include polydimethylsiloxane, phenyl-methylpolysiloxane, linear, cyclic, or branched siloxanes, silicone polymers and copolymers, and / or organosilicone copolymers. Also, a siloxane polyether copolymer defoamer available from OSI Specialties, Inc. of Farmington Hills, Michigan can be substituted or included. One such substance is sold as SILWET-L-7220.

[0145] In this specification, acrylate polymer defoamers can also be used. Typical acrylate defoamers include polyacrylate defoamers available from Monsanto Polymer Products Co., known as PC-1244. Preferred acrylate polymer defoamers useful herein are commercially available from Dorf Ketl and are PX(trademark)3841 (i.e., an alkyl acrylate polymer), also called Mobilad(trademark)C402.

[0146] In an embodiment, a combination of a silicone defoamer and an acrylate defoamer can be used, for example, at a mass ratio of silicone defoamer to acrylate defoamer of from about 5:1 to about 1:5. See, for example, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2021 / 0189283.

[0147] H. Viscosity Modifier A viscosity modifier (also referred to as a viscosity index improver or a viscosity increaser) can be included in the lubricating compositions described herein. The viscosity modifier provides high-temperature and low-temperature operating capabilities to the lubricant. Such additives impart shear stability at high temperatures and an acceptable viscosity at low temperatures. Suitable viscosity modifiers include high molecular weight hydrocarbons, polyesters, and viscosity-modifying dispersants that can function as both a viscosity modifier and a dispersant. Typical molecular weights of such polymers are from about 10,000 to 1,500,000 g / mol, more typically from about 20,000 to 1,200,000 g / mol, and even more typically from about 50,000 to 1,000,000 g / mol. Examples of suitable viscosity modifiers are linear or star polymers and copolymers of methacrylate, butadiene, olefin, or alkylated styrene. Polyisobutylene is a commonly used viscosity modifier. Another suitable viscosity modifier is polymethacrylate (e.g., copolymers of alkyl methacrylates of various chain lengths), some formulations of which also serve as pour point depressants. Other suitable viscosity modifiers include copolymers of ethylene and propylene, hydrogenated block copolymers of styrene and isoprene, and polyacrylates (e.g., copolymers of acrylates of various chain lengths). Specific examples include styrene-isoprene or styrene-butadiene-based polymers having a molecular weight of 50,000 to 200,000 g / mol.

[0148] Useful copolymers as viscosity modifiers include those commercially available under the trade name "PARATONE (trademark)" from Chevron Oronite Company LLC (e.g., "PARATONE (trademark) 8921", "PARATONE (trademark) 68231", "PARATONE (trademark) 24EX", and "PARATONE (trademark) 8941"); those commercially available under the trade name "HiTEC (trademark)" from Afton Chemical Corporation (e.g., HiTEC (trademark) 5850B); and those commercially available under the trade names "Lubrizol (trademark) 7067C" and "Lubrizol (trademark) 7077D" from The Lubrizol Corporation. Examples of hydrogenated polyisoprene star polymers useful as viscosity modifiers in this specification include those commercially available from Infineum International Limited under, for example, the trade names "SV203 (trademark)", "SV200 (trademark)", and "SV600 (trademark)". Hydrogenated diene-styrene block copolymers useful as viscosity modifiers in this specification are commercially available from Infineum International Limited under, for example, the trade name "SV50 (trademark)".

[0149] Polymers useful as viscosity modifiers in this specification include polymethacrylate or polyacrylate polymers, such as linear polymethacrylate or polyacrylate polymers, for example, those available under the trade name "Viscoplex (trademark)" (e.g., Viscoplex (trademark) 6-954) from Evnoik Industries, or star polymers available under the trade name Asteric (trademark) (e.g., Lubrizol (trademark) 87708 and Lubrizol (trademark) 87725) from Lubrizol Corporation. The vinyl aromatic-containing polymers useful as viscosity modifiers in this specification can be derived from vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon monomers, such as styrenic monomers like styrene. Exemplary vinyl aromatic-containing copolymers useful in this specification can be represented by the following general formula: A-B, where A is a polymeric block mainly derived from vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon monomers (such as styrene), and B is a polymeric block mainly derived from conjugated diene monomers (such as isoprene).

[0150] The vinyl aromatic-containing polymers useful as viscosity modifiers may have a kinematic viscosity at 100 °C of 20 cSt or less, such as 15 cSt or less, such as 12 cSt or less, but may be diluted to have a higher kinematic viscosity at 100 °C, such as 40 cSt or more, such as 100 cSt or more, such as 1000 cSt or more, such as 1000 - 2000 cSt (e.g., with Group I, II, and / or III base stocks). Typically, the viscosity modifier, when present, can be used in an amount of about 0.01 - about 13 mass%, such as about 0.1 - about 7 mass%, such as 0.1 - about 4 mass%, such as about 0.2 - about 2 mass%, such as about 0.2 - about 1 mass%, such as about 0.2 - about 0.5 mass% based on the total mass of the formulated lubricant composition.

[0151] The viscosity modifier is typically added as a concentrate to a large amount of diluent oil. The "as-received" viscosity modifier typically contains 20 mass% - 75 mass% active polymer in the case of polymethacrylate or polyacrylate polymers, or 8 mass% - 20 mass% active polymer in the case of olefin copolymers, hydrogenated polyisoprene star polymers, or hydrogenated diene-styrene block copolymers in the "as-received" polymer concentrate. The compositions according to the present disclosure may include additives having different notation functions that also have a secondary effect as a viscosity modifier (e.g., component P). Functionalized polymers, particularly amide, imide, ester, and / or alcohol functionalized polymers described below, can also exhibit a viscosity modifying effect. Such additives are not included in the viscosity modifier for the purpose of determining the amount of the viscosity modifier in the lubricating oil composition or concentrate herein.

[0152] J. Corrosion inhibitor / rust preventive Corrosion inhibitors can be used to reduce the corrosion of metals and are often alternatively referred to as metal deactivators or metal passivators. Some corrosion inhibitors may alternatively be characterized as antioxidants. Suitable corrosion inhibitors include nitrogen and / or sulfur-containing heterocyclic compounds such as triazoles (e.g., benzotriazole), substituted thiadiazoles, imidazoles, thiazoles, tetrazoles, hydroxyquinolines, oxazolines, imidazolines, thiophenes, indoles, indazoles, quinolines, benzoxazines, dithiols, oxazoles, oxatriazoles, pyridines, piperazines, triazines, and derivatives of any one or more of these. A specific corrosion inhibitor has the following structure:

Chemical formula

[0153] In addition or alternatively, the corrosion inhibitor may contain one or more substituted thiadiazoles represented by the following structure:

Chemical formula

[0154] Further, in addition to or alternatively, the corrosion inhibitor may include one or more other derivatives of DMTD, such as R 15 and R 16 may include carboxylic acid esters in which are joined to the sulfide sulfur atom via a carbonyl group. The preparation of such thioester-containing DMTD derivatives is described, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 2,760,933. DMTD derivatives produced by condensation of DMTD with an alpha-halogenated aliphatic carboxylic acid having at least 10 carbon atoms are described, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 2,836,564. By this method, DMTD derivatives in which R 15 and R 16 are HOOC-CH(R 19 )-(R 19 is a hydrocarbyl group) are produced. DMTD derivatives further produced by amidation or esterification of such terminal carboxylic acid groups may also be useful.

[0155] The preparation of 2-hydrocarbyldithio-5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole is described, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 3,663,561. Examples of DMTD derivatives include mixtures of 2 - hydrocarbyldithio - 5 - mercapto - 1,3,4 - thiadiazole and 2,5 - bis - hydrocarbyldithio - 1,3,4 - thiadiazole. Such mixtures may be sold under the trade name HiTEC™ 4313 and are commercially available from Afton Chemical Company. The preparation of 2 - hydrocarbyldithio - 5 - mercapto - 1,3,4 - thiadiazole is described, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 3,663,561. Examples of DMTD derivatives include mixtures of 2 - hydrocarbyldithio - 5 - mercapto - 1,3,4 - thiadiazole and 2,5 - bis - hydrocarbyldithio - 1,3,4 - thiadiazole. Such mixtures may be sold under the trade name HiTEC™ 4313 and are commercially available from Afton Chemical Company.

[0156] Furthermore, in addition or alternatively, the corrosion inhibitor may include a trifunctional borate having the structure B(OR 46 )3, where each R 46 may be the same or different. Since the borate is typically desirably compatible with the non - aqueous medium of the composition, each R 46 may in particular include a hydrocarbyl C1 - C8 moiety or be a hydrocarbyl C1 - C8 moiety. For example, in the case of a composition where the non - aqueous medium includes a lubricating oil base stock or is a lubricating oil base stock, typically better compatibility can be achieved when the hydrocarbyl moieties are each at least C4. Thus, non - limiting examples of such corrosion inhibitors include, but are not limited to, triethyl borate, tripropyl borate, such as triisopropyl borate, tributyl borate, such as tri - tert - butyl borate, tripentyl borate, trihexyl borate, trioctyl borate, such as tri - (2 - ethylhexyl) borate, and monohexyl dibutyl borate, etc., and combinations thereof.

[0157] When used, the corrosion inhibitor may include a substituted thiadiazole, a substituted benzotriazole, a substituted triazole, a trisubstituted borate, or a combination thereof. Optionally, the corrosion inhibitor can be used in any effective amount, but when used, typically, based on the mass of the composition, it can be used in an amount of about 0.001% to 5.0% by mass, such as 0.005% to 3.0% by mass, or 0.01% to 1.0% by mass. Alternatively, such an additive can be used in an amount of about 0.01 to 5% by mass, preferably about 0.05 to 1.5% by mass, based on the mass of the lubricating composition.

[0158] In some embodiments, the 3,4-oxypyridinone-containing composition may not substantially contain a triazole, a benzotriazole, a substituted thiadiazole, an imidazole, a thiazole, a tetrazole, a hydroxyquinoline, an oxazoline, an imidazoline, a thiophene, an indole, an indazole, a quinoline, a benzoxazine, a dithiol, an oxazole, an oxatriazole, a pyridine, a piperazine, a triazine, derivatives thereof, combinations thereof, or any corrosion inhibitor (e.g., 0, or less than 0.001% by mass, 0.0005% by mass or less, intentionally not added, and / or not contained at all). The compositions according to the present disclosure may include additives having different marking functions that also have a secondary effect as a corrosion inhibitor (e.g., component P described below; the functionalized polymer can also exhibit a corrosion inhibitor effect). Such additives are not included in the corrosion inhibitor for the purpose of determining the amount of the corrosion inhibitor in the lubricating oil composition or concentrate herein.

[0159] K. Antiwear Agent The lubricating oil composition of the present disclosure may contain one or more antiwear agents that can reduce friction and excessive wear. Any antiwear agent known to those skilled in the art can be used in the lubricating oil composition. Non-limiting examples of suitable antiwear agents include zinc dithiophosphate, metal salts of dithiophosphates (e.g., salts of Pb, Sb, and Mo, etc.), metal salts of dithiocarbamates (e.g., salts of Zn, Pb, Sb, and Mo, etc.), metal salts of fatty acids (e.g., salts of Zn, Pb, and Sb, etc.), boron compounds, phosphate esters, phosphite esters, amine salts of phosphate esters or thiophosphate esters, reaction products of dicyclopentadiene and thiophosphoric acid, and combinations thereof. The amount of the antiwear agent may range from about 0.01% by mass to about 5% by mass, about 0.05% by mass to about 3% by mass, or about 0.1% by mass to about 2% by mass, about 0.5% by mass to about 1% by mass, or about 0.6% by mass to about 0.8% by mass based on the total mass of the lubricating oil composition.

[0160] In an embodiment, the antiwear agent is or contains a metal salt of dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphate, such as a zinc dialkyldithiophosphate compound. The metal of the metal salt of dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphate may be an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal, or aluminum, lead, tin, molybdenum, manganese, nickel, or copper. In some embodiments, the metal is zinc. In other embodiments, the alkyl group of the metal salt of dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphate has about 3 to about 22 carbon atoms, about 3 to about 18 carbon atoms, about 3 to about 12 carbon atoms, or about 3 to about 8 carbon atoms. In a further embodiment, the alkyl group is linear or branched. Also, useful antiwear agents include substituted or unsubstituted thiophosphoric acids, and salts thereof include zinc-containing compounds, such as zinc dialkyldithiophosphate, zinc diaryldithiophosphate, and / or zinc alkylaryldithiophosphate selected from zinc dithiophosphate compounds.

[0161] Metal alkyl thiophosphates and, more particularly, zinc dialkyldithiophosphates or zinc dialkyldithiophosphates (ZDDP) where the metal component is zinc can be useful components of the lubricating compositions of the present disclosure. ZDDP can be derived from primary alcohols, secondary alcohols, or mixtures thereof. ZDDP compounds generally have the formula Zn[SP(S)(OR1)(OR2)]2, where R1 and R2 are C1-C 18 alkyl groups, preferably C2-C 12 alkyl groups. Such alkyl groups may be straight-chain or branched-chain. Alcohols used in ZDDP can be 2-propanol, butanol, secondary butanol, pentanol, hexanol, for example, 4-methyl-2-pentanol, n-hexanol, n-octanol, 2-ethylhexanol, and alkylated phenols, etc. Mixtures of secondary alcohols, or mixtures of primary and secondary alcohols can be used. Alkylaryl groups may also be used. Useful zinc dithiophosphates include secondary zinc dithiophosphates, for example, those available from The Lubrizol Corporation under the trade names "LZ 677A", "LZ 1095", and "LZ 1371", those available from Chevron Oronite under the trade name "OLOA™ 262", and those available from Afton Chemical under the trade name "HiTEC™ 7169".

[0162] In embodiments, the zinc compound can be zinc dithiocarbamate, for example, of the following formula:

Chemical formula

[0163] Antiwear additives, such as ZDDP and / or zinc carbamate, are typically used in amounts of about 0.4 wt% to about 1.2 wt%, preferably about 0.5 wt% to about 1.0 wt%, more preferably about 0.6 wt% to about 0.8 wt%, based on the total mass of the lubricating composition. Preferably, the antiwear additive is ZDDP, such as primary ZDDP, secondary ZDDP, or a mixture of primary ZDDP and secondary ZDDP, and is present in an amount of 0.4 wt% to 1.2 wt%, preferably 0.5 wt% to 1.0 wt%, more preferably 0.6 wt% to 0.8 wt%, based on the total mass of the lubricating composition. As indicated above, the lubricating oil compositions of the present invention contain less than 1000 ppm of phosphorus. Accordingly, the antiwear additive, preferably ZDDP, is present in an amount that provides less than 1000 ppm of phosphorus, based on the total mass of the lubricating composition, as measured by ASTM D5185. Preferably, the antiwear additive, preferably ZDDP, is present in an amount that provides less than 900 ppm of phosphorus, such as less than 850 ppm of phosphorus, based on the total mass of the lubricating composition, as measured by ASTM D5185. More preferably, the antiwear additive, preferably ZDDP, is present in an amount that provides from 700 ppm to 900 ppm of phosphorus, based on the total mass of the lubricating composition, as measured by ASTM D5185.

[0164] Also useful as antiwear additives herein are boron-containing compounds such as borate esters, boricated aliphatic amines, boricated epoxides, alkali metal (or mixed alkali metal or alkaline earth metal) borates, and boricated overbased metal salts. The compositions according to the present disclosure may include additives having different marking functions that also have a secondary effect as antiwear agents (for example, the component B dispersant described above and the component P functionalized polymer described below can also exhibit an antiwear effect). Such additives are not included in the antiwear agents for the purpose of determining the amount of antiwear agent in the lubricating oil composition or concentrate herein.

[0165] L. Demulsifier Demulsifiers useful herein include those described in U.S. Patent No. 10,829,712 (column 20, lines 34 to 40). Typically, a small amount of a demulsifying component can be used herein. Preferred demulsifying components are described in European Patent No. 330 522. This is obtained by reacting an alkylene oxide with an adduct obtained by reacting a bis-epoxide with a polyhydric alcohol. Such additives can be used in an amount of about 0.001 to 5% by weight, preferably about 0.01 to 2% by weight.

[0166] M. Seal compatibility agent Other optional additives include seal compatibility agents such as organic phosphates, aromatic esters, aromatic hydrocarbons, esters (e.g., butyl benzyl phthalate), and polybutenyl succinic anhydride. Such additives can be used in an amount of about 0.001 to 5% by weight, preferably about 0.01 to 2% by weight, more preferably about 0.05 to 1% by weight, and even more preferably 0.1 to 0.5% by weight. In an embodiment, the seal compatibility agent is a sea swell agent such as PIBSA (polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride).

[0167] N. Extreme pressure agent The lubricating oil composition of the present disclosure may contain one or more extreme pressure agents capable of preventing seizure of a sliding metal surface under extreme pressure conditions. Any extreme pressure agent known to those skilled in the art can be used in the lubricating oil composition. Generally, an extreme pressure agent is a compound that can chemically bond with a metal and form a surface film that prevents welding of the irregularities of opposing metal surfaces under high loads. Non-limiting examples of suitable extreme pressure agents include the following: sulfurized animal or vegetable fats or oils, sulfurized animal or vegetable fatty acid esters, complete or partially esterified esters of trivalent or pentavalent acids of phosphorus, sulfurized olefins, dihydrocarbyl polysulfides, sulfurized Diels-Alder adducts, sulfurized dicyclopentadiene, sulfurized or co-sulfurized mixtures of fatty acid esters and mono-unsaturated olefins, co-sulfurized blends of fatty acids, fatty acid esters, and alpha-olefins, functional group-substituted dihydrocarbyl polysulfides, thia-aldehydes, thia-ketones, episulfide compounds, sulfur-containing acetal derivatives, co-sulfurized blends of terpenes and acyclic olefins, and polysulfide olefin products, amine salts of phosphate esters or thiophosphate esters, and combinations thereof. The amount of the extreme pressure agent may range from about 0.01% by mass to about 5% by mass, from about 0.05% by mass to about 3% by mass, or from about 0.1% by mass to about 1% by mass based on the total mass of the lubricating oil composition.

[0168] O. Non-base stock unsaturated hydrocarbons The lubricating oil composition of the present disclosure may contain one or more unsaturated hydrocarbons. Such unsaturated hydrocarbons are different from any base oil (lubricating oil base stock of Group I, II, III, IV, and / or V) and / or viscosity modifier that may be present in the composition, and always have at least one unsaturation per molecule (typically only one in the case of linear alpha-olefins or LAO). Without being bound by theory, the unsaturation can provide antioxidant functionality and / or sulfur scavenging functionality that can complement and / or replace one or more antioxidant additives and / or one or more corrosion inhibitor additives. However, unsaturated hydrocarbons (LAO) will typically not provide the sole antioxidant or the sole corrosion inhibition functionality in the lubricating oil composition. Non-limiting examples of unsaturated hydrocarbons include one or more unsaturated C 12 ~C 60 hydrocarbons (e.g., C 12 ~C 48 hydrocarbons, C 12 ~C 36 hydrocarbons, C 12 ~C 30 hydrocarbons, or C 12 ~C 24 hydrocarbons). When there is only one unsaturation, the unsaturated hydrocarbon may be referred to as a linear alpha-olefin (LAO). Other non-limiting examples of unsaturated hydrocarbons include oligomers / polymers of polyisobutylene that retain (or are post-polymerization modified to exhibit) terminal (near) unsaturation, and / or blends thereof. Unsaturated hydrocarbons (LAO), when present, may be present in an amount of 0.01 to 5% by mass (particularly 0.1 to 3% by mass, alternatively 0.1 to 1.5% by mass) based on the total mass of the lubricating oil composition.

[0169] P. Functionalized polymers In an embodiment, the lubricating oil composition or concentrate of the present invention contains one or more functionalized polymers.

[0204] The following non-limiting examples are provided to illustrate the present disclosure. Experiment All molecular weights are number average molecular weights (Mn) determined by gel permeation chromatography using polystyrene standards and reported in g / mol, unless otherwise stated. "A.I.", "ai", "a.i.", and "ai" are active ingredients by mass %, unless otherwise indicated. Test procedure The viscosity index is measured according to ASTM D2270. The high-temperature high-shear viscosity ("HTHS" or "HTHS150") is determined at 150 °C according to ASTM D4683 and reported in cPs. KV100 is the kinematic viscosity measured at 100 °C according to ASTM D445-19a.

[0205] Unless otherwise instructed, the Cold Cranking Simulator ("CCS") at -25°C is a measure of the cold cranking properties of the crankcase lubricant and is determined as described in ASTM D5293-92. The phosphorus, boron, calcium, zinc, molybdenum, and magnesium contents are measured by ASTM D5185. The sulfuric acid ash ("SASH") content is measured by ASTM D874. The Ford 6.7L Power Stroke diesel engine test for soot-induced wear and viscosity control was conducted on a 6.7L Power Stroke diesel engine. The test was 200 hours at peak output 2800 rpm / WOT. Samples were taken every 25 hours for soot measurement by ASTM D5967, TGA. The soot level at the end of the test is typically in the range of 5.5 to 6.5%. When the test was completed, the rocker arm was disassembled and weighed to determine the mass loss compared to the mass before the test. Also, the KV100 of the oil sample was measured every 25 hours to determine the viscosity of the oil.

[0206] The moments of molecular weight (Mw, Mn, Mz) were determined by gel permeation chromatography (“GPC-PS”) as follows using polystyrene standard substances (Acquity™ APC Polystyrene High Molecular Weight Calibration Kit, 266~1,760,000 Da) and software (Empower™ 3, version 7.41.00.00) provided by the vendor. The molecular weights [number average molecular weight (Mn), weight average molecular weight (Mw), and z average molecular weight (Mz)] were determined using an Agilent Acuity P-SM-FTN and P-15m high temperature GPC-SEC (gel permeation / size exclusion chromatograph) equipped with an online differential refractive index (DRI) detector and PDA UV detectors at 215, 254, and 304 wavelengths. In GPC, three Agilent PLgel 10 micron Mixed B LS columns are used. Column separation is carried out using a flow rate of 0.25 mL / min and a nominal injection volume of 10 microliters. The detector and columns are maintained at 30 °C in the low flow mode (idle) and heated to 35 °C when preparing for sample run. The flow coming out of the SEC column is sent to an optical flow cell and then to the DRI detector. The solvent for the SEC experiment is un-inhibited THF (tetrahydrofuran). The polymer solution is prepared by placing the dry polymer in a glass container and adding the desired amount of THF. After adding the sample to the machine, wait until it reaches 35 °C before starting the run. GPC performs the programmed equilibration before the run for approximately 1.5 hours. The sample is stirred for 2~15 hours depending on solubility. The sample is filtered after stirring and before running. All amounts are measured by gravimetry. The THF density used to express the polymer concentration in units of mass / volume is 0.887 g / mL at 68 °C. The injected sample concentration is 3 mg / mL. Before running each sample, purge the DRI detector and injector. Then increase the flow rate of the apparatus to 0.01~0.25 mL / min and stabilize the DRI for 4~5 hours before injecting the first sample. The software used to run GPC and prepare the report is Empower™ 3, version 7.41.00.00.

[0207] substance F-H-PI is 7.0-F-H-polyisoprene-A. An amine-functionalized hydrogenated isoprene polymer having an average functionality (Fv) of 7.0 was prepared using SA-H-polyisoprene-A (succinic acid functionality of 7.0) by adding 1 equivalent of amine (4-amino-diphenylamine, ADPA) (SAP, determined by ASTM D94) per succinic acid unit at 170 °C under nitrogen. After allowing the reaction to proceed and heating for a maximum of 2 hours, it was diluted with additional oil (Group III, 4 cSt (Yubase™ 4)) and cooled to ambient temperature. During cooling, this material was mixed with an ethoxylated alcohol (e.g., Berol™ 1214 or Surfonic™ L24-4, Huntsman) at 10 wt% of the reaction mixture. 7.15-F-H-polyisoprene-A had a functionality distribution (Fd) value of 1.76, Mw / Mn of 1.239, Mn of 31629 g / mol, and Mz of 47835 g / mol. It was used as a blend in oil having 0.5 wt% ai unless otherwise specified.

[0208] PIB is polyisobutylene. PIBSA is polyisobutylene succinic anhydride. PIBSA-PAM is polyisobutylene succinic anhydride-polyalkyleneamine. [Table 2-1] [Table 2-2]

[0209] In the tables of the following examples, the amounts shown for the individual substances refer to the amounts of the components (including a specific amount of active ingredient in the oil, as shown in the above component table). For example, the component PIBSA-PAM2200Mn has an active ingredient (a.i.) content of about 55% by mass, and the remainder of the component is diluent oil (see the above component table). This means that, for example, the active ingredient content of PIBSA-PAM2200Mn in Oil A (see Table 1 below, where the content of the PIBSA-PAM2200Mn component is shown to be 4.0% by mass) is 2.2% by mass (i.e., 4.0% by mass × 0.55). Similarly, the active ingredient content of non-phosphated PIBSA-PAM in Oil A (where the content of the PIBSA-PAM2200Mn component is shown to be 4.0% by mass and the content of the PIBSA-PAM950Mn component is shown to be 4.0% by mass) is 4.24% by mass (i.e., 4.0% by mass × 0.55 + 4.0% by mass × 0.51). Further, the saponified matter of Oil A is obtained by adding the saponified matter mass percentages provided by each detergent, i.e., 1.0% by mass × 29% by mass + 0.85% by mass × 26% by mass = 0.511% by mass. In this Oil A, the ratio of non-phosphated PIBSA-PAM to saponified matter is 4.24% by mass / 0.511% by mass = 8.30. The ratios of non-phosphated PIBSA-PAM to saponified matter for the other oils can be calculated similarly using the active ingredient contents shown for each component in the above component table based on the mass percentages of the components shown in the tables of the following examples.
