Definitions

  • the invention relates to the general field of an improved motor oil lubricant.
  • the lubricant may be formulated as a 100% complete engine oil crankcase lubricant, or concentrated into an additive for addition to conventional mineral oil based engine oil, synthetic engine oils, or blends thereof in an effective amount of up to 30 percent volume percent, typical from 20 to 25 percent by volume.
  • the invention is formulated to include selected seal swelling agents to recondition and maintain seals in new engines and/or more particularly high mileage engines.
  • Lubrication involves the process of friction reduction, accomplished by maintaining a film of a lubricant between surfaces which are moving with respect to each other.
  • the lubricant prevents contact of the moving surfaces, thus greatly lowering the coefficient of friction.
  • the lubricant also can be called upon to perform heat removal, containment of contaminants, and other important functions.
  • Additives have been developed to establish or enhance various properties of lubricants.
  • Various additives which are used include viscosity improvers, detergents, dispersants, antioxidants, extreme pressure additives, and corrosion inhibitors .
  • Anti-wear agents many of which function by a process of interactions with the surfaces, provide a chemical film which prevents metal-to-metal contact under high load conditions. Wear inhibitors which are useful under extremely high load conditions are frequently called “extreme pressure agents". Certain of these materials, however, must be used judiciously in certain applications due to their property of accelerating corrosion of metal parts, such as bearings.
  • the instant invention utilizes the synergy between several chemical constituents to provide an additive formula which enhance the performance of conventional engine oil and inhibits the undesirable side effects which may be attributable to use of one of more of the chemical constituents when used at particular concentrations.
  • U.S. 4,879,045 by Eggerichs adds lithium soap to a synthetic base oil comprising diester oil and polyalphaolefins which can comprise an aliphatic diester of a carboxylic acid such as di-2-Ethylhexylazelate, di-isodecyladipate , or ditridecyladipate, as set forth in the Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 34th addition, volume 14, pp 477-526, which describes lubricant additives including detergent-dispersant, viscosity index (VI) improvers, foam inhibitors, and the like.
  • lubricant additives including detergent-dispersant, viscosity index (VI) improvers, foam inhibitors, and the like.
  • the present invention comprises various formulations of an engine crankcase oil formula including selected seal swelling agents to recondition the rubber and elastomer components within the engine and includes a formula for an additive concentrates for addition to engine oil having a mineral oil base, a synthetic oil base, or blends thereof for improving the lubricating properties of the engine oil, enhance the performance of the engine, and reduce consumption of the oil.
  • One preferred embodiment of the engine treatment oil additive comprises a blend of chemical constituents including an oil soluble molybdenum additive, a dispersant inhibitor containing zinc dithiophosphate, and a viscosity index improvers in a synthetic, mineral oil, semi-synthetic hydrogenated base stock or combinations and blends thereof.
  • An ester such as a diester, and/or a polyolester may be utilized therewith.
  • a metal containing borate compound such as a borate ester may be added optionally as a corrosion inhibitor for yellow metals. Alternate corrosion inhibitors may be selected from dimercapto, thiediapoles, or benztriazoles .
  • a seal swelling compound is added optionally to provide a formulation for use with older engines to aid in reconditioning and maintaining the seals.
  • the constituents may be combined to give particular performance properties for formulating various embodiments of the lubricant additive concentrate for use with conventional crankcase engine oil or the formulation of a complete engine oil incorporating the additive concentrate package.
  • the additive is used in an effective amount in combination with a conventional crankcase lubricant containing mineral oil, synthetic oil or combinations thereof up to about 30 percent by volume, more preferably from about 15 to 30 percent by volume, and most preferably from about 20 to about a 25% volume/percent.
  • the improved performance of the engine additive in comparison with conventional crankcase lubricants is attributable to optimizing the design parameters for each of the individual chemical constituents and combining the chemical constituents to obtain surprisingly good results including improved: wear, oxidation resistance, viscosity stability, engine cleanliness, fuel economy, cold starting, reduced oil consumption, and inhibition of acid formation. Additional components may be added to the engine additive formulation to enhance specific properties for special applications. Moreover, the formulation is compatible with engine warranty requirements. The complete motor oil does not require the consumer to determine the amount of additive required for optional performance when blending with a conventional motor oil in small quantities between oil changes.
  • the individual components can be separately blended into the base fluid or can be blended therein in various subcombinations . Moreover, the components can be blended in the form of separate solutions in a diluent. Blending the components used in the form of an oil additive concentrate simplifies the blending operations, reduces the likelihood of blending errors, and takes advantage of the compatibility and solubility characteristics afforded by the overall concentrate. Of course, the preblended complete motor oil is convenient to use and is often preferable for adding to an engine one quart or less at a time such as for routine maintenance of older cars having engine wear and requiring additional motor oil lubricant between oil changes.
  • crankcase lubricating oils for spark- ignited and compression-ignited internal combustion engines, two- cycle engines, aviation piston engines, marine and low-load diesel engines .
  • a preferred concentrate for addition to conventional motor oil for improving the lubricating properties of the motor oil and enhancing the performance of the engine comprises the following chemical constituents: an oil soluble molybdenum additive, a mineral oil or semi-synthetic base oil having a selected viscosity, a Dispersant Inhibitor (DI) package containing zinc dithiophosphate (ZDP) and which may also contain a detergent and/or corrosion inhibitor, a viscosity index improver, and corrosion inhibitor.
  • DI Dispersant Inhibitor
  • ZDP zinc dithiophosphate
  • the addition of a seal swelling compound provides additional protection and increased performance characteristics.
