lubricant additive formulation for addition to conventional
motor oil to improve the lubricating properties of the engine oil and enhance the performance of the engine. The engine treatment
oil additive comprises a synergistic blend of an
oil soluble molybdenum additive, polyalphaolefin, ester such as a
polyolester or diester,
polytetrafluoroethylene, dispersant inhibitor containing
zinc dithiophosphate,
mineral oil base stock,
viscosity index improvers, and borate ester used in combination with a conventional
crankcase lubricant at about a 20 to about a 25% volume / percent. The
improved performance of the engine additive in comparison with a conventional
crankcase lubricants is attributable to the effect of optimizing the design parameters for each of the individual
chemical constituents and combining the
chemical constituents according to the present invention to obtain surprisingly good results including improved wear,
oxidation resistance,
viscosity stability, engine cleanliness, fuel economy, cold starting, and inhibition of acid formation.
