Abstract
This invention relates to a lubricating oil composition comprising a Group I basestock and an antioxidant comprising an oil soluble trinuclear organomolybdenum compound of the generic formula: Mo<SB>3</SB>S<SB>x</SB>-(Q) (I) wherein x is from 4 to 10 and Q is a core group, which may be a ligand, wherein the basestock has a kinematic viscosity at 100{C (KV<SB>100</SB>) from about 2 cSt to 50 cSt (2 x 10<SP>-6</SP> to 50 x 10<SP>-6</SP> m<SP>2</SP>/sec), a saturates content of <90% w/w, an aromatics content of > 10% w/w and a sulphur content of > 0.03% w/w. The composition has an improved stability when compared with either a Group II, III or IV basestock containing the same antioxidant or a Group I basestock containing a dinuclear molybdenum dithiocarbamate.
Description
LUBRICATING OIL COMPOSITIONS This invention relates to lubricating oil compositions, especially lubricants used in internal combustion engines, comprising Group I base oils which are relatively low in saturates but high in sulphur with natural oxidation stability.
Lubricating oil compositions are used for the smooth operation of internal combustion engines, power transmission components including automatic transmissions, shock absorbers and power steering devices and gears. The engine oils for internal combustion engines in particular serve to (i) lubricate various sliding interfaces eg between the piston ring and cylinder liner, in bearings of the crank shaft and the connecting rod, and in the valve driving mechanism including cams and valve lifters, (ii) cool the engine, (iii) clean and disperse the combustion products and (iv) prevent corrosion and consequent rust formation. The stringent requirements for high performance engines in recent years have meant greater demand from lubricants used in such engines. Lubricating oils used in such engines usually deteriorate due to oxidation by oxygen and/or nitrogen oxides (NOx) contained in the blow-by gas (ie gas leaking from the combustion chamaber gases into the crankcase at the piston/cylinder interface). The concentration of NOx increases in the blow-by gas with increasing demand in performance of the engine. The deleterious effects of oxidation can be and have been mitigated by the use of various additives including antioxidants and by the use of base stocks which are relatively more stable to oxidation.
The control of oxidation processes has been improved to some extent by the use of lubricating compositions which comprise a Group II, III or IV basestocks which are relatively high in saturated hydrocarbons (hereafter "saturates") in preference to Group I basestocks which are relatively low in saturates because of the relatively high propensity of Group I base oils to oxidation. Group II, III and IV basestocks are typically more expensive than the conventional Group I basestocks. To extend the use of Group I basestocks for future engine oil products, it is important to identify suitable additives to enhance their properties. A feature of the present invention is the improvement of the oxidative stability of Group I basestocks. The hydrocarbyl groups are preferably alkyl (e.g, in which the carbon atom attached to the remainder of the ligand "L" is primary, secondary or tertiary), aryl, substituted aryl and/or ether groups.
Importantly, the hydrocarbyl groups of the ligands should be such that they have a sufficient number of carbon atoms to render the compound (I) soluble or dispersible in the oil to which the trinuclear organomolybdenum compound containing the ligand is added. The total number of carbon atoms present among all of the hydrocarbyl groups of the organomolybdenum compounds' ligands is suitably at least 21, preferably at least 25, more preferably at least 30 and even more preferably at least 35, typically e.g., 21 to 800. For instance, the number of carbon atoms in each hydrocarbyl group will generally range from 1 to 100, preferably from 1 to 40 and more preferably from 3 to 20.
The antioxidant which comprises the trinuclear organomolybdenum compounds will form a minor component of the total lubricant composition. For example, the trinuclear organomolybdenum compounds will comprise from about 0.05 to 5.00% w/w of the total composition, ie the molybdenum metal is suitably present in an amount of about 25 to 3000 ppm, preferably from about 50 to 1000 ppm, and more preferably from about 100-500 ppm of the total composition.
The antioxidant trinuclear molybdenum compound of the present invention can be used with any of the conventional dispersants used hitherto in the lubricating compositions. Examples of such dispersants include inter alia the polyalkylene succinimides, Mannich condensation products of polylalkylphenol-formaldehyde polyamine and boronated derivatives thereof. However, it is preferable to use ashless dispersants such as the ashless succinimides, especially the polyisobutenyl succinimides of a polyamine such as eg tetraethylenepentamine or its homologues, benzylamine ashless dispersants, and ester ashless dispersants. The dispersants are generally used in the compositions of the present invention in an amount ranging from about 2-10% by weight based on the total weight of the lubricant composition, preferably from about 4-8% by weight.
In general, these lubricating compositions may include additives commonly used in lubricating oils especially crankcase lubricants, such as antiwear agents, detergents, dispersants, rust inhibitors, viscosity index improvers, extreme-pressure agents, friction Mo3Sx-(Q) wherein x is from 4 to 10, preferably 7, and Q is a core group. Trinuclear molybdenum compounds are relatively new and are claimed and described in our prior published US- A-5,906,968. The matter disclosed in this prior US patent on the structure, preparation and properties of the trinuclear molybdenum compounds is incorporated herein by reference. In these compounds the core group (Q may be a ligand capable of rendering the organomolybdenum compound of formula (I) oil soluble and ensuring that said molybdenum compound is substantially charge neutral. The core group (Q is generally associated with suitable ligands such as Ly wherein L is the ligand and y is of a sufficient number, type and charge to render the compound of formula (I) oil soluble and to neutralise the charge on the compound of formula (I) as a whole. Thus, more specifically, the trinuclear molybdenum compound used in the compositions of the present invention may be represented by the formula (II): Mo3SxLy (II) The ligands "L" are suitably dihydrocarbyl dithiocarbamates of the structure (-S2CNR2) wherein the dihydrocarbyl groups, R2 impart oil solubility to the molybdenum compound. In this instance, the term "hydrocarbyl" denotes a substituent having carbon atoms directly attached to the remainder of the ligand and is predominantly hydrocarbyl in character within the context of this invention. Such substituents include the following: (1) hydrocarbon substituents, ie, aliphatic (for example alkyl or alkenyl), alicyclic (for example cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl), aromatic-, aliphatic- and alicyclic- substituted aromatic nuclei and the like, as well as cyclic substituents wherein the ring is completed through another portion of the ligand (that is, any two indicated substituents may together form an alicyclic group); (2) substituted hydrocarbon substituents, ie, those containing nonhydrocarbon groups which, in the context of this invention, do not alter the predominantly hydrocarbyl character of the substituent. Those skilled in the art will be aware of suitable groups (eg halo (especially chloro), amino, alkoxyl, mercapto, alkylmercapto, nitro, nitroso, sulphoxy etc.); and (3) hetero substituents, ie, substituents which, while predominantly hydrocarbon in character within the context of this invention, contain atoms other than carbon present in a chain or ring otherwise composed of carbon atoms.

A feature of the present invention is that lubricant compositions comprising relatively low saturates base oils and trinuclear organomolybdenum compounds provide unexpected improvement in oxidation control and significant benefits in fuel economy.
The present invention is further illustrated with reference to the following Examples: EXAMPLES General Procedure: A series of Test oils were prepared.
