1-117. (canceled)
A composition comprising:
- (i) an estolide base oil having a kinematic viscosity from about 4 to about 10 cSt at 100° C., and an iodine value of less than 10 cg/g, said estolide base oil comprising at least one estolide compound selected from compounds of Formula I:
- wherein
- x is, independently for each occurrence, an integer selected from 0 to 14;
- y is, independently for each occurrence, an integer selected from 0 to 14;
- n is an integer selected from 0 to 8;
- R1 is an optionally substituted C1 to C22 alkyl that is saturated and branched or unbranched;
- and
- R2 is an optionally substituted C1 to C22 alkyl that is saturated and branched or unbranched,
- wherein each fatty acid chain residue is unsubstituted;
- (ii) at least one synthetic hydrocarbon oil or semi-synthetic hydrocarbon oil;
- and
- (iii) at least one antioxidant.
