Abstract
A lubricant composition for a compression-ignition internal combustion engine includes an amine and a detergent selected from metal sulfonates, phenates, salicylates, carboxylates, thiophosphonates, and combinations thereof. The lubricant composition has a TBN of from about 10 to about 100 mg KOH/g when tested according to ASTM D2896. The amine contributes from about 0.1 to about 28% of the TBN of the lubricant composition. Further, a method of lubricating an internal combustion engine with the lubricant composition includes the steps of injecting a fuel and the lubricant composition into a cylinder to form a mixture, and combusting the mixture via compression-ignition.
Claims21
A lubricant composition for a compression-ignition internal combustion engine, said lubricant composition comprising:
- (A) an amine selected from the group consisting of (I), (III), and (IV) defined as follows:
- wherein each of R1 to R9 are independently selected from a hydrogen, a C1-6 branched or straight alkyl or a halogen;
- and
- R10 is selected from hydrogen, hydroxy or a C1-20 branched or straight alkyl;
- wherein R1 and R2 are independently selected from C1-20 branched or straight alkyl;
- wherein each of R1 and R2 are independently selected from a hydrogen, a C1-6 branched or straight alkyl or a halogen;
- m and y are independently an integer of 1 to 6 and n is 1 to 7;
- wherein R1, R2, and R3 are independently selected from C1-20 branched or straight alkyl;
- and
- wherein R1 to R4 are independently selected from hydrogen and a C1-6 alkyl and m is an integer of 1-12;
- and
- (B) a detergent selected from metal sulfonates, phenates, salicylates, carboxylates, thiophosphonates, and combinations thereof,
- wherein a TBN of said lubricant composition is from about 10 to about 100 mg KOH/g when tested according to ASTM D2896;
- and
- wherein a TBN contribution of said amine to said TBN of said lubricant composition is from about 0.1 to about 28%.
