While preferred embodiments of the disclosure are shown and described herein, such embodiments are provided by way of example only and are not intended to otherwise limit the scope of the disclosure, and various alternatives to the described embodiments of the disclosure may be employed in practice.
The embodiments encompassed herein are now described with reference to the following examples. These examples are provided for the purpose of illustration only and the disclosure encompassed herein should in no way be construed as being limited to these examples, but rather should be construed to encompass any and all variations which become evident as a result of the teachings provided herein.
The lubricant 0W-40 comprising the following components shown in Table 1 was prepared:
Analyses were performed in accordance with the ASTM test procedures used with no deviations or modifications. Precision for these test results should be consistent with that stated in the test procedures referenced. Test results are shown in Tables 2 and 3 below.
The hydraulic oil (ISO 32/46/68) comprising the following components shown in Table 4 was prepared. Physical and chemical properties are shown in Table 5.
The 15W-40 Diesel Engine Oil comprising the following components shown in Table 6 was prepared:
The tractor fluid (THF 1000) comprising the following components shown in Table 7 was prepared:
Originally the 10W-30 CK-4 engine oil included the Chevron Oronite Additive OLOA 61105 addiditve. Total Base Number (TBN), is a property that measures oil's ability to neutralize acids formed during engine operation. Generally, oils with a higher TBN better neutralize acids and combustion by-products, resulting in longer oil life and improved protection against corrosion. In order to be high performance, the TBN was set to be 12.
Samples of the 10W-30 CK-4 engine oil with the Chevron Oronite Additive OLOA 61105 addiditve were tested and the sulfated ash score were identified at 1.36%, which is beyond specification, and the TBN was closer to 13.79. While not wishing to be bound by any particular theory, this is hypothesized to be due to setting a high TBN.
The 10W-30 CK-4 engine oil was then reformulated and a guideline was set for TBN of 10. The samples were then tested and a 1.09% sulfated ash score was measured, which was out of specification.
The 10W-30 CK-4 engine oil was then reformulated to remove the Chevron Oronite Additive OLOA 61105, which was substituted with Infineum D3503L. These samples received 0.9% sulfated ash number with a TBN of 8.62 and a treat rate 14.6%. The formulation elevated the renewable base oil content overall percentage by 1.5%, reduced VI content treat rate of 0.1%, which allows for higher performance, and a yielded a higher TBN with a lower treat rate compared to the engine oil comprising the Chevron Oronite Additive OLOA 61105.
