Improved performance of two-cycle and four-cycle engines is achieved by adding to the oil or fuel of such engines a composition that contains a copolymer of an alpha-olefin and a dialkyl fumarate or maleate and/or a synthetic diester compound that has about 30 carbon atoms. For two-cycle engines, the composition preferably contains both chemicals, in addition to an octane booster such as methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl. For four-cycle engines, the composition contains at least one of the copolymer and diester, in addition to a molybdenum or bismuth salt, dimercapto 1,3,4-thiadiazole and sulfur-phosphorous EP and/or chlorinated paraffin. The composition can also act to improve gear and grease lubrication and provide improved lubricity to fuels.
A lubricating composition for a two-cycle internal combustion engine, comprising an ester copolymer and a diester, wherein the ester copolymer has a viscosity of about 100-700 mm2/s at 100° C. and is a copolymer of an alpha olefin and a diester selected from a dialkyl fumarate and a dialkyl maleate.
The composition of claim further comprising methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl.
A synthetic lubricating composition (SLC), comprising an ester copolymer of an alpha olefin and a diester selected from a dialkyl fumarate and a dialkyl maleate, and a diester having two ester groups, wherein the ester copolymer has a viscosity of about 100-700 mm2/s at 100° C., and wherein the ester copolymer and/or the diester having two ester groups is/are in a total concentration of 2-10 volume percent based on the volume of synthetic lubricant composition.
