Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to lubricant compositions which exhibit certain performance characteristics; particularly a low High-Temperature, High-Sheer viscosity measurement.
- Lubricant compositions are well known in the art. Lubricant compositions are typically made up of base oil and various additives. Lubricant compositions must meet specific performance characteristics such as, but not limited to, kinematic viscosity and High-Temperature, High-Shear viscosity measurement (HTHS), depending on their end use.
- It is known in the art that fuel economy of vehicles and the HTHS values of the lubricant composition used in the vehicle are related. Vehicles using lubricant compositions having lower HTHS values exhibit improved fuel economy. For every SAE Viscosity Grade, a minimum HTHS of the lubricant composition is specified in the SAE J300 Engine Oil Viscosity Classification. Therefore, a lubricant composition that has an HTHS that is at or near the minimum required for the SAE Viscosity Grade is expected to provide the best fuel economy.
- The present invention provides a lubricant composition comprising base oil having a viscosity index equal to or greater than 120 that exhibits an HTHS at or near the minimum for its SAE Viscosity Grade.
- According to a first aspect, the present invention provides a lubricant composition comprising: a first polymer having a kinematic viscosity ratio, as defined herein, of less than or equal to 0.25 and a shear stability index (SSI) equal to or greater than 20 percent; and a base oil having a viscosity index equal to or greater than 120.
- Suitably, the lubricant composition comprises: a polymer having a kinematic viscosity ratio less than or equal to 0.25 and a shear stability index (SSI) equal to or greater than 20 percent; and a base oil having a viscosity index equal to or greater than 120, wherein the concentration of phosphorus in the lubricant composition is less than 0.08 weight percent and the concentration of sulfur is less than 0.5 weight percent.
- Suitably, the lubricant composition comprises an automotive lubricating oil composition, more especially an automotive lubricating oil composition for use in piston engines, especially gasoline (spark-ignited) and diesel (compression-ignited), crankcase lubrication, such compositions being referred to as crankcase lubricants.
- According to a second aspect, the present invention provides a method of lubricating a compression-ignited or spark-ignited combustion engine, comprising operating the engine with a lubricant composition according to the first aspect of the invention.
- Preferably, the method according to the second aspect of the present invention comprises lubricating the crankcase of a compression-ignited or spark-ignited internal combustion engine.
- According to a third aspect, the present invention provides the use, in a lubricant composition, of: (a) a base oil having a viscosity index equal to or greater than 120; and, (b) a first polymer having a kinematic viscosity ratio of less than or equal to 0.25 and a shear stability index (SSI) equal to or greater than 20 percent, to enhance the fuel economy performance characteristics of the lubricant composition.
- According to a fourth aspect, the present invention provides the use, in a lubricant composition, of: (a) a base oil having a viscosity index equal to or greater than 120; and, (b) a first polymer having a kinematic viscosity ratio of less than or equal to 0.25 and a shear stability index (SSI) equal to or greater than 20 percent, to reduce the High-Temperature, High Shear (HTHS) viscosity measurement of the lubricant composition, as measured in accordance with the ASTM D4741 at 150°C.
- Suitably, the HTHS of the lubricant composition is reduced to substantially the minimum value specified for the SAE Viscosity Grade of the lubricant composition as stated in accordance with SAE J300 Engine Oil Viscosity Classification.
- It will be appreciated that the term "lubricant composition" as used herein represents a "lubricating oil composition".
- The features of the invention relating, where appropriate, to each and all aspects of the invention, will now be described in more detail as follows.
- Unless otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients, reaction conditions, dimensions, physical characteristics, processing parameters, and the like, used in the specification and claims are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term "about". Accordingly, unless indicated to the contrary, the numerical values set forth in the following specification and claims may vary depending upon the desired properties sought to be obtained by the present invention. At the very least, each numerical value should at least be construed in light of the number of reported significant digits and by applying ordinary rounding techniques. Moreover, all ranges disclosed herein are to be understood to encompass the beginning and ending range values and any and all subranges subsumed therein. For example, a stated range of "1 to 10" should be considered to include any and all subranges between (and inclusive of) the minimum value of 1 and the maximum value of 10; that is, all subranges beginning with a minimum value of 1 or more and ending with a maximum value of 10 or less, e.g., 5.5 to 10.
- The following terms used herein are defined below.
(A) base oil- mixtures of one or more basestocks.
(B) kinematic viscosity- temperature specific property measured according to ASTM D445.
(C) kinematic viscosity ratio of a polymer- the kinematic viscosity of the polymer in solution at 150°C (kv150) divided by the kinematic viscosity of the polymer in solution at 100°C (kv100). The polymer in solution is prepared by diluting the viscosity modifier concentrate in an API Group I solvent neutral 100 base stock between 60°C and 70°C for 45 minutes. The kv100 and kv150 are measured according to ASTM D445.

where c is wt% polymer, kv(polymer + oil) is kv100 of the polymer solution, and kv(oil) is kv100 of the oil. kv is measured according ASTM D445. - Various groups of base oils and basestocks are discussed herein. Definitions for the basestocks are the same as those found in the American Petroleum Institute (API) publication "Engine Oil Licensing and Certification System", Industry Services Department, Fourteenth Edition, December 1996, Addendum 1, December 1998.
- The lubricant composition comprises a base oil having a viscosity index ranging of equal to or greater than 120 and a first polymer having a kinematic viscosity ratio less than or equal to 0.25 and a shear stability index (SSI) equal to or greater than 20 percent.
- In a non-limiting embodiment of the invention, the base oil comprises a Group III basestock. Group III basestocks contain greater than or equal to 90 percent saturates and less than or equal to 0.03 percent sulfur and have a viscosity index greater than or equal to 120. In another non-limiting embodiment of the invention, the base oil comprises a Group IV basestock. In yet another non-limiting embodiment of the invention, the base oil comprises a Group III basestock and a Group IV basestock. In another non-limiting embodiment of the invention, the base oil comprises Group IV and Group V basestocks. In yet another non-limiting embodiment of the invention, the base oil comprises Group II, Group IV and Group V basestocks.
- Suitably, the basestock is made using gas-to-liquids ("GTL") process. GTL is a refinery process used to convert natural gas or other gaseous hydrocarbons into longer-chain hydrocarbons. For example, GTL can be used to convert methane-rich gases into liquid fuels either via direct conversion or via syngas as an intermediate using the Fischer Tropsch process. As is well known in the art, isomerization catalyst can be used with GTL to make Group III basestock.
- The lubricant composition comprises at least one polymer (a "first polymer") having a kinematic viscosity ratio less than or equal to 0.25 and a shear stability index (SSI) equal to or greater than 20 percent, for example, equal to or greater than 35 percent or equal to or greater than 45 percent.
- Suitably, the first polymer comprises a minimum of 5 weight percent styrene.
- Suitably, the first polymer has a thickening efficiency (TE) equal to or greater than 2.0, for example, equal to or greater than 2.4 or equal to or greater than 2.8.
- Suitable first polymers comprise a normal block copolymer (i.e., true block copolymer) or a random block copolymer. The normal block copolymer can be made from (1) conjugated dienes having from 4 to 10 carbon atoms, for example, from 4 to 6 carbon atoms or (2) from vinyl substituted aromatics having from 8 to 12 carbon atoms, for example, 8 or 9 carbon atoms.
- Suitable block copolymers include block copolymers made from conjugated dienes and/or vinyl substituted aromatics, particularly conjugated dienes and/or vinyl substituted aromatics as defined herein.
- Suitably, the block copolymer is made from conjugated dienes. Suitable conjugated dienes include piperylene, 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene, chloroprene, isoprene and 1,3-butadiene, with isoprene and 1,3-butadiene being particularly preferred. Mixtures of such conjugated dienes are useful.
- Alternatively, the block copolymer is made from vinyl substituted aromatics. Suitable vinyl substituted aromatics include styrene, alpha-methylstyrene, orthomethylstyrene, meta-methylstyrene, para-methylstyrene, para-tertiary-butylstyrene.
- Suitably, the normal block copolymers has a total of from 2 to 5, for example, from 2 or 3, polymer blocks of the vinyl substituted aromatic and the conjugated diene with at least one polymer block of said vinyl substituted aromatic and at least one polymer block of said conjugated diene being present. The conjugated diene block is hydrogenated as more fully set forth hereinbelow. The normal block copolymers can be linear block copolymers wherein a substantially long sequence of one monomeric unit (Block I) is linked with another substantially long sequence of a second (Block II), third (Block III), fourth (Block IV), or fifth (Block V) monomeric unit.
- Suitable copolymers are disclosed in
US 5,429,758 . - Suitably, the vinyl substituted aromatic content of these copolymers (i.e., the total amount of vinyl substituted aromatic blocks in the normal block copolymer) is in the range of from 20 percent to 70 percent by weight, for example, from 40 percent to 60 percent by weight. Thus, the aliphatic conjugated diene content (i.e., the total diene block content) of these copolymers is in the range of from 30 percent to 80 percent by weight, for example, from 40 percent to 60 percent by weight.
- The described normal block copolymers can be prepared by conventional methods which are well known in the art. For example, the copolymers may be prepared by anionic polymerization using, for example, an alkali metal hydrocarbon (e.g., sec-butyllithium) as a polymerization catalyst.
- A commercial example of a normal block copolymer as described above is Infineum SV140 which is a hydrogenated styrene-isoprene block available from Infineum U.S.A (Linden, NJ).
- Typically, the polymers will be introduced into lubricant compositions in the form of a concentrate as is well known in the art. Concentrates comprise one or more components in oil. Typical concentrates contain from 3 to 25 weight percent of the polymer.
- Suitably, the lubricant composition comprises more than one polymer, namely, the composition comprises a first polymer as described above and a "second polymer". Suitable examples of the second polymer include, but are not limited to, olefin polymers such as polybutene; hydrogenated polymers and copolymers and terpolymers of styrene with isoprene and/or butadiene; polymers of alkyl acrylates or alkyl methacrylates; copolymers of alkyl methacrylates with N-vinyl pyrrolidone or dimethylaminoalkyl methacrylate; post-grafted polymers of ethylenepropylene with an active monomer such as maleic anhydride; styrene-maleic anhydride polymers post-reacted with alcohols and amines. These can be used to provide the desired viscosity in the lubricant composition.
- Suitably, the lubricant compositions for specific SAE Viscosity Grades exhibit lower HTHS values closer to the minimum HTHS than conventional lubricant compositions for that Grade. For example, the minimum HTHS for a 5W30 lubricant composition is 2.9. See Table 2 below for the SAE Engine Oil Viscosity Requirements Classifications which include minimum HTHS requirements.

In various non-limiting embodiments, the lubricant composition of the present invention satisfies the requirements for SAE J300 viscosity grade 0W-X or 5W-X where X is 10, 20, 30 or 40.
- Suitably, the lubricant composition comprises a detergent inhibitor package. The detergent inhibitor package comprises one or more of the following: metal or ash-containing detergents, antioxidants, anti-wear agents, rust inhibitors, anti-foaming agents, demulsifiers, pour point depressants, etc.
- Metal-containing or ash-forming detergents function both as detergents to reduce or remove deposits and as acid neutralizers or rust inhibitors, thereby reducing wear and corrosion and extending engine life. Detergents generally comprise a polar head with a long hydrophobic tail, with the polar head comprising a metal salt of an acidic organic compound. The salts may contain a substantially stoichiometric amount of the metal in which case they are usually described as normal or neutral salts, and would typically have a total base number or TBN (as may be measured by ASTM D2896) of from 0 to 80. It is possible to include large amounts of a metal base by reacting an excess of a metal compound such as an oxide or hydroxide with an acidic gas such as carbon dioxide. The resulting overbased detergent comprises neutralised detergent as the outer layer of a metal base (e.g. carbonate) micelle. Such overbased detergents may have a TBN of 150 or greater, and typically of from 250 to 450 or more.
- Detergents that can be used include oil-soluble neutral and overbased sulfonates, phenates, sulfurized phenates, thiophosphonates, salicylates, and naphthenates and other oil-soluble carboxylates of a metal, particularly the alkali or alkaline earth metals, e.g., sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium, and magnesium (With the constraints noted herein). The most commonly used metals are calcium and magnesium, which may both be present in detergents used in a lubricant, and mixtures of calcium and/or magnesium with sodium. Common metal detergents include overbased calcium sulfonates having a TBN greater than or equal to 250, for example, a TBN from 250 to 450; neutral and overbased calcium phenates having a TBN greater than or equal to 50; and sulfurized phenates having a TBN greater than or equal to 50.
- Sulfonates can be prepared from sulfonic acids which are typically obtained by the sulfonation of alkyl substituted aromatic hydrocarbons such as those obtained from the fractionation of petroleum or by the alkylation of aromatic hydrocarbons. Examples include those obtained by alkylating benzene, toluene, xylene, naphthalene, diphenyl or their halogen derivatives such as chlorobenzene, chlorotoluene and chloronaphthalene. The alkylation can be carried out in the presence of a catalyst with alkylating agents having from 3 to more than 70 carbon atoms. The alkaryl sulfonates usually contain from 9 to 80 or more carbon atoms per alkyl substituted aromatic moiety.
- The oil soluble sulfonates or alkyl aryl sulfonic acids can be neutralized with oxides, hydroxides, alkoxides, carbonates, carboxylate, sulfides, hydrosulfides, nitrates, borates and ethers of the metal. The amount of metal compound is chosen having regard to the desired TBN of the final product but typically ranges from 100 to 220 wt. percent of the stoichiometrically required.
- Dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphate metal salts are frequently used as anti-wear and antioxidant agents. The metal can be an alkali or alkaline earth metal, or aluminum, lead, tin, molybdenum, manganese, nickel or copper. The zinc salts are typically used in lubricating oil in amounts of 0.1 to 10 wt. percent, for example, from 0.2 to 2 wt. percent, based upon the total weight of the lubricating oil composition. They can be prepared in accordance with known techniques by first forming a dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphoric acid (DDPA), usually by reaction of one or more alcohol or a phenol with P2S5 and then neutralizing the formed DDPA with a zinc compound. For example, a dithiophosphoric acid can be made by reacting mixtures of primary and secondary alcohols. Alternatively, multiple dithiophosphoric acids can be prepared where the hydrocarbyl groups on one are entirely secondary in character and the hydrocarbyl groups on the others are entirely primary in character. To make the zinc salt any basic or neutral zinc compound could be used but the oxides, hydroxides and carbonates are most generally employed. Commercial additives frequently contain an excess of zinc due to use of an excess of the basic zinc compound in the neutralization reaction.
- Zinc dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphates are oil soluble salts of dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphoric acids and may be represented by the following formula:
- Greater percentages of secondary alcohols can be used. In some instances, high nitrogen systems may be required. Thus, the alcohols used to introduce the hydrocarbyl groups can be more than 60 mole percent secondary or more than 90 mole percent secondary. Metal dithiophosphates that are secondary in character give better wear control in tests such as the Sequence VE (ASTM D5302) and the GM 6.2L tests. The high levels of nitrogenous TBN required by the present invention to control soot related viscosity may increase wear and corrosion performance.
- Oxidation inhibitors or antioxidants reduce the tendency of mineral oils to deteriorate in service which deterioration can be evidence by the products of oxidation such as sludge and varnish-like deposits on the metal surfaces and by viscosity growth. Such oxidation inhibitors include hindered phenols, oil soluble phenates and sulfurized phenates, phosphosulfurized or sulfurized hydrocarbons, phosphorous esters, metal thiocarbamates, oil soluble copper compounds as described in
U.S. Pat. No. 4,867,890 , and molybdenum containing compounds. Such compounds are utilized within the constraints noted herein. - Suitably, the lubricant includes at least 0.0008 mole percent hindered phenol antioxidant. Generally, hindered phenols are oil soluble phenols substituted at one or both ortho positions. Suitable compounds include monohydric and mononuclear phenols such as 2,6-di-tertiary alkylphenols (e.g. 2,6 di-t-butylphenol, 2,4,6 tri-t-butyl phenol, 2-t-butyl phenol, 4-alkyl, 2,6, t-butyl phenol, 2,6 di-isopropylphenol, and 2,6 dimethyl, 4 t-butyl phenol). Other suitable hindered phenols include polyhydric and polynuclear phenols such as alkylene bridged hindered phenols (4,4 methylenebis(6 tert butyl-o-cresol), 4,4'-methylenebis(2-tert-amyl-o-cresol), and 2,2'-methylenebis (2,6-di-t-butylphenol). The hindered phenol can be borated or sulfurized.
- Rust inhibitors selected from the group consisting of nonionic polyoxyalkylene polyols and esters thereof, polyoxyalkylene phenols, and anionic alkyl sulfonic acids can be used.
- Copper and lead bearing corrosion inhibitors can be used. Typically such compounds are thiadiazole polysulfides containing from 5 to 50 carbon atoms, their derivatives and polymers thereof. Derivatives of 1, 3, 4 thiadiazoles such as those described in
U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,719,125 ;2,719,126 ; and3,087,932 ; are typical. Other similar materials are described inU.S. Pat. Nos. 3,821,236 ;3,904,537 ;4,097,387 ;4,107,059 ;4,136,043 ;4,188,299 ; and4,193,882 . Other additives are the thio and polythio sulfenamides of thiadiazoles such as those described inUK. Patent Specification No. 1,560,830 - A small amount of a demulsifying component can be used. A suitable demulsifying component is described in
EP 330,522 - Pour point depressants, otherwise known as lube oil flow improvers, lower the minimum temperature at which the fluid will flow or can be poured. Such additives are well known. Typical of those additives which improve the low temperature fluidity of the fluid are C8 to C18 dialkyl fumarate/vinyl acetate copolymers and polyalkylmethacrylates. Likewise, dialkyl fumarate and vinyl acetate can be used as compatibilizing agents.
- Incompatibility can occur when certain types of polymers for use in the manufacture of motor oil viscosity modifiers are dissolved in basestock. An uneven molecular dispersion of polymer which gives the mixture either a tendency to separate or a grainy appearance ensues. The problem is solved by using a compatibility agent having a hydrocarbon group attached to a functional group that serves to break up or prevent packing.
- Foam control can be provided by many compounds including an antifoamant of the polysiloxane type, for example, silicone oil or polydimethyl siloxane.
- Some of the above-mentioned additives can provide a multiplicity of effects; thus for example, a single additive can act as a dispersant-oxidation inhibitor. This approach is well known and does not require further elaboration. It is important to note that addition of the other components noted above must comply with the limitations set forth herein.
- Suitably, the lubricant composition comprises one or more ashless dispersants. The ashless dispersants can include the polyalkenyl or borated polyalkenyl succinimide where the alkenyl group is derived from a C3 -C4 olefin, especially polyisobutenyl having a number average molecular weight of about 700 to 5,000. Other well known dispersants include the oil soluble polyol esters of hydrocarbon substituted succinic anhydride, e.g. polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride, and the oil soluble oxazoline and lactone oxazoline dispersants derived from hydrocarbon substituted succinic anhydride and di-substituted amino alcohols.
- Suitably, the lubricant composition contains 0.5 to 5 wt. percent of ashless dispersant.
- Suitably, the lubricant composition comprises ashless detergent. These ashless detergents and dispersants are so called despite the fact that, depending on their constitution, they may upon combustion yield a non-volatile material such as boric oxide or phosphorus pentoxide; however, they do not ordinarily contain metal and therefore do not yield a metal-containing ash on combustion. Many types are known in the art, and are suitable for use in lubricating compositions. These include the following:
- (1) Reaction products of carboxylic acids (or derivatives thereof) containing at least 34 with nitrogen containing compounds such as amines, organic hydroxy compounds such as phenols and alcohols, and/or basic inorganic materials. Examples of these are described in the following patents:
U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,219,666 ;4,234,435 ;4,904,401 ; and6,165,235 . - (2) Reaction products of relatively high molecular weight aliphatic or alicyclic halides with amines such as oxyalkylene polyamines. Examples of these are described in the following patents:
U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,275,554 ;3,438,757 ;3,454,555 ; and3,565,804 . - (3) Reaction products of alkyl phenols in which the alkyl group contains at least 30 carbon atoms with aldehydes and amines which may be characterized as "Mannich dispersants." Examples of these are described in the following patents:
U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,649,229 ;3,697,574 ;3,725,277 ;3,725,480 ;3,726,882 ; and3,980,569 . - (4) Products obtained by post-treating the amine or Mannich dispersants with such reagents as urea, thiourea, carbon disulfide, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, hydrocarbon-substituted succinic anhydrides, nitriles, epoxides, boron compounds, phosphorus compounds or the like.
