ENGINE OIL FORMULATION WITH IMPROVED SEQUENCE VIII PERFORMANCE
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to methods of improving viscosity shear stability of a lubricating oil and lubricating oil composition comprising:



a base oil of lubricating viscosity;
an amount of one or more zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate compound(s);

wherein the lubricating oil composition has one or both of the following ratios:

a) a ratio of KV40° C.fresh to a weight % of zinc contributed by the one or more zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate compound(s) based on a total weight of the lubricating oil composition, of greater than 510, wherein KV40° C.fresh is the kinematic viscosity of the fresh lubricating oil composition at 40° C.; and
b) a ratio of KV40° C.fresh to a weight % of phosphorus contributed by the one or more zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate compound(s) based on a total weight of the lubricating oil composition, of greater than 560, wherein KV40° C.fresh is the kinematic viscosity of the fresh lubricating oil composition at 40° C.
