Abstract:
This invention relates to an organic tungsten complex prepared by providing a strongly acidic tungsten precursor having pH@2.5, and either reacting the tungsten precursor with a nitrogenous base to form a tungsten salt intermediate having a pH ranging from >=5 to @8.5, and further reacting the tungsten salt intermediate with a fatty acid derivative of an alcohol, wherein the fatty acid derivative of an alcohol contains at least one free hydroxyl group; or reacting the tungsten precursor with a fatty acid derivative of an alcohol, wherein the fatty acid derivative of an alcohol contains at least one free hydroxyl group and a nitrogenous base. Further, this invention relates to lubricating compositions containing the inventive tungsten complexes.
Abstract:
A low sulfated ash, low sulfur, low phosphorus, low zinc lubricating oil composition preferably employable for internal combustion engines using a low sulfur hydrocarbon fuel comprises a base oil having a saturated component of 85 wt.% or more, a viscosity index of 110 or more, and a sulfur content of 0.01 wt.% or less; an alkaline earth metal-containing detergent; a nitrogen-containing ashless dispersant of a weight average molecular weight of 4,500 or more; a phenolic or amine oxidation inhibitor; and a basic nitrogen-containing compound-oxymolybdenum complex.
Abstract:
A phosphate complex of a borate ester provides wear- and friction-reducing performance to an engine or driveline device. The complex may be a pyroborate-hydrocarbyl-substituted phosphate adduct. Boric acid may be reacted with a diol to form an ester, then reacting said ester with an ammonium salt of phosphoric acid or a hydrocarbyl-substituted phosphoric acid.
