Abstract:
Copper and sulfur containing compositions, and additive concentrates and lubricating compositions containing the copper and sulfur containing compositions are described. The sulfur compounds have the formula:Y--R.sub.1 (S).sub.n --R.sub.2 Y.sup.1 (I)wherein one member of the group Y and Y.sup.1 is an electron withdrawing group and the other member is hydrocarbyl or an electron withdrawing group; R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are the same or different open chain aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbyl groups; and n is a number from 1 to about 8. The copper is present as an oil soluble or dispersible source of copper.
Abstract:
A short-term test procedure for comparing the engine sludge performance of different engine oils to a reference oil. The test procedure involves establishing a base line by operating one or more engines on the reference oil while maintaining a substantially constant volume of the reference oil in the engines without changing the oil until a Coordinating Research Council (CRC) sludge rating within a preferred range of 8.5 to 9.0 is achieved. In like manner, a series of engine tests are performed on one or more test oils using engines substantially identical to the reference oil engines for substantially the same number of miles as the average test miles of all of the reference oil engines under substantially the same test conditions as the reference oil engines while maintaining substantially the same volume of the test oil in the engines as the reference oil without changing the test oil in the engines throughout the tests. The average overall sludge rating for each test oil is then calculated based on all of the tests on each test oil, and compared to the average overall sludge rating for the reference oil to determine relative sludge performance.
Abstract:
Sulfurized compositions are prepared by the reaction, under superatmospheric pressure, of olefinic compounds with a mixture of sulfur and hydrogen sulfide, followed by removal of low boiling materials including unreacted olefin, mercaptan and monosulfide. An optional final step is removal of active sulfur; for example, by treatment with an alkali metal sulfide. The resulting sulfurized compositions are useful as lubricant additives.
Abstract:
A novel nitrogen and sulfur composition is prepared by the reaction of 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole with a peroxide, preferably hydrogen peroxide. This nitrogen and sulfur composition may be reacted with polysulfides, mercaptans and amino compounds (especially oil-soluble, nitrogen-containing dispersants) to produce lubricant additives having decreased copper activity and a decreased tendency for "lead paint" deposition.
Abstract:
Sulfurized compositions are prepared by the reaction, under superatmospheric pressure, of olefinic compounds with a mixture of sulfur and hydrogen sulfide in the presence of an acidic, basic or neutral catalyst, followed by removal of low boiling materials including unreacted olefin, mercaptan and monosulfide. An optional final step is removal of active sulfur; for example, by treatment with an alkali metal sulfide. The resulting sulfurized compositions are useful as lubricant additives.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a lubricating oil composition, comprising:a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity; and(A) an amount of at least one alkali metal overbased salt of an acidic organic compound sufficient to provide at least about 0.005 equivalents of alkali metal per 100 grams of the lubricating composition;(B) at least about 1.13% by weight of at least one dispersant;(C) at least one metal dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphate; and(D) at least one antioxidant, provided that the lubricating oil composition is free of calcium overbased sulfonate; provided that the composition contains less than about 0.08% by weight calcium; and provided that (C) and (D) are not the same.
Abstract:
A lubricating oil formulation is described which is useful in internal combustion engines. More particularly, lubricating oil compositions for internal combustion engines are described with comprises (A) at least about 60% by weight of oil of lubricating viscosity, (B) at least about 2.0% by weight of at least one carboxylic derivative composition produced by reacting (B-1) at least one substituted succinic acylating agent with (B-2) from about 0.70 equivalent up to less than one equivalent, per equivalent of acylating agent, of at least one amine compound characterized by the presence within its structure of at least one HN
Abstract:
Lubricating oils are described which are useful in two-cycle engines. These oils contain a minor amount of at least one phenolic compound of the general formula:(R).sub.a --AR--(OH).sub.b, or salts thereof,wherein R is a substantially saturated, hydrocarbon-based group of an average of at least 10 aliphatic carbon atoms; a and b are each independently an integer of one up to three times the number of aromatic nuclei present in Ar with the proviso that the sum of a and b does not exceed the unsatisfied valences of Ar; and Ar is a linked polynuclear moiety wherein the bridging linkages are sulfur-containing moieties, having 0 to 3 optional substituents consisting of lower alkyl, lower alkoxyl, methylol or lower hydrocarbon-based substituted methylol, halo and combinations of two or more of said optional substituents.
Abstract:
Reaction products of boric acid or boron trioxide with an epoxide having at least 8 carbon atoms (especially a straight-chain aliphatic epoxide) are useful anti-wear, friction modifying and rust inhibiting additives for lubricants. They are particularly useful in lubricants containing relatively large amounts of basic alkaline earth metal phenates or salicylates and/or free hydroxy group-containing alkenylsuccinic acid ester dispersants.
Abstract:
Carboxylic acid acylating agents are derived from polyalkenes such as polybutenes, and a dibasic, carboxylic reactant such as maleic or fumaric acid or certain derivatives thereof. These acylating agents are characterized in that the polyalkenes from which they are derived have a Mn value of about 1300 to about 5000 and a Mw/Mn value of about 1.5 to about 4. The acylating agents are further characterized by the presence within their structure of at least 1.3 groups derived from the dibasic, carboxylic reactant for each equivalent weight of the groups derived from the polyalkene. The acylating agents can be reacted with a further reactant subject to being acylated such as polyethylene polyamines and polyols (e.g., pentaerythritol) to produce derivatives useful per se as lubricant additives or as intermediates to be subjected to post-treatment with various other chemical compounds and compositions, such as epoxides, to produce still other derivatives useful as lubricant additives.
