Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a method of reducing evaporation loss in an internal combustion engine using a lubricating oil composition containing a specific type of diester. The diester has specific viscosity characteristics and contains boron in a certain amount. The use of this specific diester in the lubricating oil composition leads to improved fuel efficiency in the engine and reduced evaporation loss. Another embodiment of the invention involves using a specific dispersant that contains boron. This composition also leads to improved fuel efficiency and reduced evaporation loss.

Problems solved by technology

A disadvantage of low viscosity engine oils is that they can have high volatility which leads to high evaporation loss (meaning an increase in oil consumption).
However, these base oils may not be ideal for low viscosity engine oils such as 0W-12, 0W-8, and 0W-4.

example 1

[0103]A lubricating oil composition was prepared by adding 98 wt. % of Bis-2-ethylhexyl azelate base oil and 1.59 wt. % based on the concentrate of a borated polyisobutenyl bis-succcinimide dispersant where the number average molecular weight of the polyisobutene is approximately 1300 providing the finished oil with approximately 0.008 wt. % of boron. The formulation had a NOACK of 17.7% and HTHS 80 of 3.73 mPa·s.

example 2

[0104]A lubricating oil composition was prepared by adding 97 wt. % of Bis-2-ethylhexyl azelate base oil and 3 wt. % based on the concentrate of a borated polyisobutenyl bis-succcinimide dispersant where the number average molecular weight of the polyisobutene is approximately 1300 providing the finished oil with approximately 0.019 wt. % of boron. The formulation had a NOACK of 16.4% and HTHS 80 of 4.01 mPa·s.

example 3

[0105]A lubricating oil composition was prepared by adding 48 wt. % of Bis-2-ethylhexyl azelate base oil, 48 wt. % of Group III base oil (KV 100=4.19, VI=125) and 3 wt. % based on the concentrate of a borated polyisobutenyl bis-succcinimide dispersant where the number average molecular weight of the polyisobutene is approximately 1300 providing the finished oil with approximately 0.019 wt. % of boron. The formulation had a NOACK of 15.9% and HTHS 80 of 4.50 mPa·s.

Description

CROSS REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of priority to 62 / 992,210 filed Mar. 20, 2020, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]The lubricant industry is actively engaged in research related to improving fuel economy. One well-known way of increasing fuel economy is to decrease the viscosity of lubricating oils. Engine oils that demonstrate excellent fuel economy performance are usually formulated to be low viscosity oils. Viscosity index improvers (VII) are often used to reduce fluid friction from viscosity resistance under low temperature. A disadvantage of low viscosity engine oils is that they can have high volatility which leads to high evaporation loss (meaning an increase in oil consumption).[0003]Attempts to overcome the above problems include formulating with low volatility base oils such as esters and poly-α-olefins. However, these base oils may not be ideal for low viscosity engine oils ...
