Abstract
The disclosed technology relates to lubricants for compression ignition internal combustion engines, particularly those demonstrating at least one of improved seals performance, reduced deposit formation, and excellent durability. The present invention provides a low zinc lubricating composition comprising (a) an oil of lubricating viscosity, (b) a borated dispersant, and (c) a metal-free organo-phosphorus anti-wear additive, wherein the lubricating composition is substantially free of a metal containing sulfur coupled alkyl phenol compound. Further, the low zinc lubricating composition contains zinc in an amount less than 600 ppm by weight of the composition.
Claims10
A low zinc lubricating composition comprising:
- an oil of lubricating viscosity;
- 1.0 wt. % to 3 wt. % of a borated polyisobutylene succinimide dispersant derived from a polyisobutylene having number average molecular weight of 350 to 5000 Daltons and a vinylidene content of at least 50 mol % in an amount to deliver at least 100 ppm of boron to the lubricating composition;
- 1.5 wt. % to 4 wt. % of a non-borated polyisobutylene succinimide dispersant;
- a secondary zinc dialkyldithiophosphate having a mixture of C3 and C6 secondary alkyl groups in an amount to provide from 0.03 wt % to 0.05 wt % of zinc to the lubricating composition;
- and
- 0.5 wt. % to 1 wt. % of a C16-C18 dialkyl hydrogen phosphonate anti-wear additive, wherein the lubricating composition is substantially free of a metal-containing sulfur-coupled alkylphenol, and
- an oxyalkylated hydrocarbyl phenol represented by formula:
- wherein each R2 is independently hydrogen or a hydrocarbyl group of 1 to 6 carbon atoms;
- R3 is hydrogen, a hydrocarbyl group of 1 to 24 carbon atoms, or an acyl group represented by —C(═O)R5,
- R5 is a hydrocarbyl group of 1 to 24 carbon atoms;
- each R4 is independently a hydrocarbyl group of 1 to 220 carbon atoms, wherein at least one R4 contains 25 to 200 carbon atoms;
- n=1 to 10;
- and m=1 to 3;
- wherein the lubricating composition contains zinc in an amount less than 600 ppm by weight of the composition.
