摘要:
The present invention is generally directed to methods of making application-specific finished lubricant compositions comprising bio-derived diester species. In some embodiments, bio-derived fatty acid moieties are reacted with Fischer-Tropsch/gas-to-liquids reaction products and/or by-products (e.g., gas-to-liquids-produced α-olefins) to yield bio-derived diester species that can then be selectively blended with base oil and one or more additive species to yield an application-specific finished lubricant product having a biomass-derived component.
摘要:
We provide a SAE 15W-30 lubricating oil, comprising: a Group II base oil having a KV at 100° C. from 5.0 to 8.0 mm2/s; a second Group II base oil having a KV at 100° C. from 10 to 14 mm2/s; a DI additive package designed to meet API CJ-4; and 0.50 to 4.95 wt % viscosity modifier; wherein the lubricating oil has a TBN from 8.55 to 11.00 and provides an Induction Time in a CMOT from 270 to 450 minutes. We also provide a process for making the lubricating oil, comprising: blending the Group II base oils to make a blended base oil mixture and adding to the blended base oil mixture: a DI additive package designed to meet API CJ-4, and a viscosity modifier; wherein the lubricating oil has a TBN from 8.55 to 11.00 and provides an Induction Time in a CMOT from 270 to 450 minutes.
