Description

4760-01 LUBRICATING COMPOSITION WITH PHENOLIC ANTIOXIDANT AND LOW ACTIVE SULFUR FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The exemplary embodiment relates to lubricating compositions and finds particular application in connection with a lubricating composition containing a phenolic antioxidant and a sulfurized organic compound that is low in active sulfur, which is able to provide both antioxidancy and reduced corrosion. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Ashless additives (additives that produce little or no ash when burnt) are often used in engine oil formulations to provide performance properties, such as antioxidancy. Basic ashless additives, such as amines, are frequently employed as antioxidants. In particular, hydrocarbyl substituted diphenylamines, such as octyl diphenylamine, di-octyl diphenylamine, and dinonyl diphenylamine, have been used. See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 10,800,992 B2, for LUBRICANT COMPOSITIONS FOR DIRECT INJECTION ENGINE, by Mosier, et al., which describes a lubricant composition which may include a diarylamine antioxidant, such as di-octyl diphenylamine. [0003] Substituted diphenylamine (SDPA) antioxidants are known for their ability to inhibit oxidation of engine oils. They are widely used in heavy duty engine oil applications, where oxidation stability is key for reducing deposits, sludge, and varnish formation, for controlling viscosity increase and therefore maintaining optimum engine operation. In practice, however, hydrocarbyl substituted diphenylamines can be detrimental for corrosion and deposit testing. [0004] There have been attempts to replace substituted diphenylamines with similar compounds, such as polymeric diphenylamines. For example, U.S. Pub. No. 20190127526A, for ANTIOXIDANT POLYMERIC DIPHENYLAMINE COMPOSITIONS, by Farng, et al., describes an antioxidant polymer composition comprising repeat units of diphenylamine 4760-01 monomers, which may be combined with a base oil and common lubricant additives. [0005] Others have used combinations of antioxidants. For example, U.S. Pub. No. 20220145204A1, published May 12, 2022, for METHOD OF LUBRICATING AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE, by Mayhew, et al., describes a lubricating composition including an antioxidant which includes a mixture of a phenolic antioxidant, an aminic antioxidant, and a sulfurized olefin. [0006] However, such compositions have often failed to provide good antioxidant properties in combination with reduced corrosion. Achieving corrosion resistance and oxidation control is challenging, particularly when sulfur and amine compounds are used. Further, sulfurized olefins also pose problems. For example, U.S. Patent No. 4,873,006A, issued October 10, 1989, entitled COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING ACTIVE SULFUR, by Vinci, et al., describes using a nitrogen-containing carboxylic compound to reduce the production of hydrogen sulfide from active sulfur-containing compounds. [0007] There remains a need for a lubricating composition which provides good antioxidant properties while reducing the tendency for corrosion of lubricated devices. BRIEF DESCRIPTION [0008] In accordance with one aspect of the exemplary embodiment, a lubricating composition includes an oil of lubricating viscosity, a phenolic antioxidant, a sulfurized organic compound with an active sulfur content of no more than 8 wt. %, and optionally, one or more performance additives selected from: a succinimide dispersant, and a detergent. [0009] The lubricating composition may be at least substantially free of substituted diphenylamine (SDPA) antioxidants. The lubricating composition may be at least substantially free of aminic antioxidants. [0010] The phenolic antioxidant may be at least 0.1 wt. %, or at least 0.5 wt. %, or at least 1 wt. %, or at least 1.5 wt. %, or at least 2 wt. % of the lubricating composition.

[0027] A method for improving oxidative stability of a lubricating oil in an engine may include supplying the lubricating composition described above to the engine. When the engine is a Volvo T-13 engine and is run for 360 hours, the kinematic viscosity at 40°C (KV40) increase from 300 hours to 360 hours may be less than 75 or less than 50. The oxidation at the end of test may be less than 125 A/cm, as measured by the IR peak height. [0028] The lubricating composition described above may be used for lubricating an engine, such as an internal combustion engine or a heavy duty diesel engine.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0031] Aspects of the exemplary embodiment relate to a lubricating composition and to a method of lubricating a mechanical device. The composition provides improved oxidative stability of a lubricating oil in the mechanical device while minimizing corrosion of conductive metals. 4760-01 [0032] As used herein, TBN is measured according to ASTM D2896-21, “Standard Test Method for Base Number of Petroleum Products by Potentiometric Perchloric Acid Titration,” ASTM International, West Conshohocken, PA, 2015, hereinafter, D2896. [0033] In one embodiment, the lubricating composition has a TBN of at least 5, or at least 7. In another embodiment the lubricating composition has a TBN of no more than 20, or no more than 15, or no more than 12, or no more than 10. [0034] An exemplary lubricating composition includes: a) an oil of lubricating viscosity, b) a phenolic antioxidant, i.e., one or more phenolic antioxidants, c) a sulfurized organic compound, i.e., one or more sulfurized organic compounds, the sulfurized organic compound selected to provide the lubricating composition with a low active sulfur content, and d) optionally, one or more performance additives, which may be selected from: i) a succinimide dispersant, i.e., one or more succinimide dispersants, and ii) a detergent, i.e., one or more detergents, such an alkaline earth metal salt of an alkyl sulfonate. [0035] The lubricating composition may further include one or more other performance additives. [0036] The term “active sulfur” of a sulfur-containing compound refers to the relative ability of a sulfur-containing compound to react chemically with a metal surface to form a metal sulfide. As used herein, active sulfur is the weight percent of sulfur which is available for a reaction at 150°C, as determined by ASTM D1662-19, “Standard Test Method for Active Sulfur in Cutting Oils,” hereinafter, ASTM D1662. It is to be noted that the active sulfur of a sulfur-containing compound is not merely a function of the mole percent of sulfur that it contains and that two sulfur-containing compounds may have very similar mole % (or weight %) of sulfur but distinctly different weight % of active sulfur. The balance of the sulfur is referred to as inactive sulfur. 4760-01 [0037] In one embodiment, the lubricating composition is free, or substantially free, of substituted diphenylamines. By “substantially free” it is meant that the lubricating composition contains no more than 0.1 wt. %, or no more than 0.01 wt. % of substituted diphenylamines. Substituted diphenylamines are defined as phenyl amines having a substituent on one or more of the carbon atoms of the phenyl rings. The substituent(s) can be hydrocarbyl substituent(s) selected from aliphatic substituents (including cycloaliphatic), aromatic substituents, substituents with alkyl and aryl moieties, and mixtures thereof. [0038] The lubricating composition may have a kinematic viscosity at 100°C (KV_100) of at least 2 cSt (or mm2/s), or at least 10 cSt, or at least 12 cSt, or up to 25 cSt, or up to 20 cSt, as measured by ASTM D445-21e1, “Standard Test Method for Kinematic Viscosity of Transparent and Opaque Liquids (and Calculation of Dynamic Viscosity)”, hereinafter, “D445”. The lubricating composition may be liquid, i.e., not a gel or semi-solid, at ambient temperatures (15-30°C). a) The Oil of Lubricating Viscosity [0039] The lubricating composition comprises an oil of lubricating viscosity. Suitable oils include natural and synthetic oils, oil derived from hydrocracking, hydrogenation, and hydrofinishing, unrefined, refined, re-refined oils or mixtures thereof. [0040] Oils of lubricating viscosity may also be defined as specified in April 2008 version of “Appendix E - API Base Oil Interchangeability Guidelines for Passenger Car Motor Oils and Diesel Engine Oils”, section 1.3 Sub-heading 1.3. “Base Stock Categories”. The API Guidelines are also summarized in U.S. Pat. No. 7,285,516. The five base oil groups are as follows: Group I (sulfur content >0.03 wt. %, and/or <90 wt. % saturates, viscosity index 80- 120); Group II (sulfur content <0.03 wt. %, and >90 wt. % saturates, viscosity index 80-120); Group III (sulfur content <0.03 wt. %, and >90 wt. % saturates, viscosity index >120); Group IV (all polyalphaolefins (PAOs)); and Group V (all others not included in Groups I, II, III, or IV). The exemplary oil of 4760-01 lubricating viscosity includes an API Group I, Group II, Group III, Group IV, Group V oil, or mixtures thereof. In some embodiments, the oil of lubricating viscosity is an API Group I, Group II, Group III, or Group IV oil, or mixtures thereof. In some embodiments, the oil of lubricating viscosity is an API Group I, Group II, or Group III oil, or mixture thereof. In one embodiment the oil of lubricating viscosity may be an API Group II, Group III mineral oil, a Group IV synthetic oil, or mixture thereof. In some embodiments, at least 5 wt. %, or at least 10 wt.%, or at least 20 wt.%, or at least 40 wt. % of the lubricating composition is a polyalphaolefin (Group IV). Other groups (subgroups) have defined, from which the oil of lubricating viscosity may be selected, including API Group II+ base oils, which refers to a Group II base oil having a viscosity index ≥ 110 and less than 120, and API Group III+ base oil, having a viscosity index ≥ 130, as described in SAE publication “Design Practice: Passenger Car Automatic Transmissions,” fourth Edition, AE-29, 2012, pages 12-9. In one embodiment, a Group II and/or Group III base oil is used. [0041] Unrefined, refined and re-refined oils, and natural and synthetic oils are described, for example, in WO2008/147704 and U.S. Pub. No. 2010/197536. Synthetic oils may also be produced by Fischer-Tropsch reactions and typically may be hydroisomerized Fischer-Tropsch hydrocarbons or waxes. Oils may be prepared by a Fischer-Tropsch gas-to- liquid synthetic procedure as well as other gas-to-liquid procedures. [0042] Unrefined oils are those obtained directly from a natural or synthetic source generally without (or with little) further purification treatment. [0043] Refined oils are similar to the unrefined oils except they have been further treated in one or more purification steps to improve one or more properties. Purification techniques are known in the art and include solvent extraction, secondary distillation, acid or base extraction, filtration, percolation and the like. [0044] Re-refined oils are also known as reclaimed or reprocessed oils and are obtained by processes similar to those used to obtain refined oils and often are additionally processed by techniques directed to removal of spent additives and oil breakdown products. 4760-01 [0045] Natural oils include animal oils, vegetable oils (e.g., castor oil), mineral lubricating oils such as liquid petroleum oils and solvent-treated or acid-treated mineral lubricating oils of the paraffinic, naphthenic or mixed paraffinic-naphthenic types and oils derived from coal or shale or mixtures thereof. Example animal and vegetable oils include long chain fatty acid esters, such as linseed oil, sunflower oil, sesame seed oil, beef tallow oil, lard oil, palm oil, castor oil, cottonseed oil, corn oil, peanut oil, soybean oil, olive oil, whale oil, menhaden oil, sardine oil, coconut oil, palm kernel oil, babassu oil, rapeseed oil, and soya oil. [0046] Synthetic oils may be produced by Fischer-Tropsch reactions and typically may be hydroisomerized Fischer-Tropsch hydrocarbons or waxes. In one embodiment oils may be prepared by a Fischer-Tropsch gas-to-liquid synthetic procedure as well as other gas-to-liquid oils. Exemplary synthetic oils include hydrocarbon oils, such as poly-alpha olefins, synthetic esters and polyesters, poly-acrylates and poly-methacrylates, liquid esters of phosphorus-containing acids, and polymeric tetrahydrofurans. [0047] Example synthetic esters include esters of a dicarboxylic acid (e.g., selected from phthalic acid, succinic acid, alkyl succinic acids, alkenyl succinic acids, maleic acid, azelaic acid, suberic acid, sebacic acid, fumaric acid, adipic acid, linoleic acid dimer, malonic acid, alkyl malonic acids, and alkenyl malonic acids) with an alcohol (e.g., selected from butyl alcohol, hexyl alcohol, dodecyl alcohol, 2-ethylhexyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol monoether, and propylene glycol). Specific examples of these esters include dibutyl adipate, di(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate, di-n-hexyl fumarate, dioctyl sebacate, diisooctyl azelate, diisodecyl azelate, dioctyl phthalate, didecyl phthalate, dieicosyl sebacate, the 2-ethylhexyl diester of linoleic acid dimer, and the complex ester formed by reacting one mole of sebacic acid with two moles of tetraethylene glycol and two moles of 2-ethylhexanoic acid. Esters particularly useful as synthetic oils include those made from C5 to C12 monocarboxylic acids and polyols and from polyol ethers such as neopentyl glycol, trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol, dipentaerythritol, and tripentaerythritol. Esters can also be monoesters, such as are available under 4760-01 the trade name Priolube 1976™ (C18-alkyl‒COO‒C20 alkyl). Synthetic esters useful herein may have a KV_100 of 2.5 mm2/s to 30 mm2/s. [0048] Exemplary synthetic hydrocarbon oils include polymerized and interpolymerized olefins (e.g., polybutylenes, polypropylenes, propylene- isobutylene copolymers); poly(1-hexenes), poly(1-octenes), poly(1-decenes), and mixtures thereof; alkyl-benzenes (e.g. dodecylbenzenes, tetradecylbenzenes, dinonylbenzenes, di-(2-ethylhexyl)-benzenes); polyphenyls (e.g., biphenyls, terphenyls, alkylated polyphenyls); diphenyl alkanes, alkylated diphenyl alkanes, alkylated diphenyl ethers and alkylated diphenyl sulfides and the derivatives, analogs and homologs thereof or mixtures thereof. [0049] Mixtures of such oils are contemplated, such as a mixture of Group II and Group III base oils, or a mixture of Group III and Group IV base oils. [0050] The oil of lubricating viscosity may have a kinematic viscosity at 100°C (KV_100), determined according to D445, of at least 1.8 cSt, or at least 4 cSt, depending on the desired SAE grade of the lubricating composition. This viscosity can be obtained by a mixture of base oils, for example containing mineral bases of Group I such as Neutral Solvent (for example 500 NS or 600 NS) and Bright Stock bases. Any other combination of mineral or synthetic bases or bases of vegetable origin having, in mixture with the additives, a viscosity compatible with the desired SAE grade can be used. [0051] The amount of the oil of lubricating viscosity present may be typically the balance remaining after subtracting from 100 wt. % the sum of the amount of the additives as described herein above, and any other performance additives. [0052] The lubricating composition may be in the form of a concentrate and/or a fully formulated lubricant. If the lubricating composition is in the form of a concentrate (which may be combined with additional oil to form, in whole or in part, a finished lubricating composition), a ratio of the components of the lubricating composition (other than the oil of lubricating viscosity) to the oil of lubricating viscosity may be from 20:80 to 90:10 by weight, or from 40:60 to 80:20 by weight. If the lubricating composition is in the form of a finished 4760-01 lubricating composition, a ratio of the components of the lubricating composition (other than the oil of lubricating viscosity) to the oil of lubricating viscosity may be from 1:99 to 30:70 by weight, or from 5:95 to 20:80 by weight. [0053] In one embodiment, the oil of lubricating viscosity (including diluent oil and oil present as a result of additives in the composition) is at least 20 wt. %, or at least 40 wt. %, or at least 60 wt. %, or at least 80 wt. %, or at least 82 wt. %, or up to 94 wt. %, or up to 92 wt. %, or up to 90 wt. % of the lubricating composition. b) The phenolic antioxidant [0054] The phenolic antioxidant may be present in the lubricating composition at a total concentration of at least 0.1 wt. %, or at least 0.5 wt. %, or at least 1 wt. %, or at least 1.5 wt. %, or at least 2 wt. %, or up to 8 wt. %, or up to 6 wt. %, or up to 5 wt. %, or up to 4 wt. %, or up to 3 wt. % of the lubricating composition. [0055] Exemplary phenolic antioxidants include hindered phenols, including hindered phenol esters, such as phenol alkyl esters, hindered phenol acetates, hindered phenol alkoxides, bis- and polyphenols, condensates of phenols with formic acid and mixtures thereof. Hindered phenol antioxidants often contain a secondary butyl and/or a tertiary butyl group as a sterically hindering group. The phenol group may be further substituted with a hydrocarbyl group (typically linear or branched alkyl) and/or a bridging group linking to a second aromatic group. [0056] Example phenolic antioxidants that may be used include: - Hindered phenols, such as 2-tert-butylphenol, 2-tert-butyl-4- methylphenol, 2-tert-butyl-5-methylphenol, 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol, 2,6-di-tert- butylphenol, 2,4-dimethyl-6-tert-butylphenol, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol, 2-tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenol, 3-tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenol, 2,5-di-tert- butylhydroquinone, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-ethylphenol; 4-methyl-2,6-di-tert- butylphenol, 4-ethyl-2,6-di-tert-butylphenol, 4-propyl-2,6-di-tert-butylphenol, 4-butyl-2,6-di-tert-butylphenol, and 4-dodecyl-2,6-di-tert-butylphenol; 4760-01 - Hindered alkyl phenol esters, such as C7-C9 branched alkyl esters of 3,5-bis(1,1-dimethyl-ethyl)-4-hydroxy-benzenepropanoic acid, alkyl-3-(3,5-di- tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionates such as n-octadecyl-3-(3,5-di-tert- butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate, n-butyl-3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4- hydroxyphenyl)propionate and 2'-ethylhexyl-3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4- hydroxyphenyl)propionate; - Hindered alkoxy phenols, such as 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-alkoxyphenols, e.g., 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenol and 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-ethoxyphenol; - Hindered phenol acetates, such as 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4- hydroxybenzylmercaptooctylacetate; - Hindered bisphenols, such as 2,2'-methylene-bis(4-alkyl-di-tert- butylphenol)s, e.g., 2,2'-methylenebis(4-methyl-di-tert-butylphenol, and 2,2- methylenebis(4-ethyl-di-tert-butylphenol), bisphenols, such as 4,4'- butylidenebis(3-methyl-6-tert-butylphenol, 4,4'-methylenebis(2,6-di-tert- butylphenol), 4,4'-bis(2,6-di-tert-butylphenol), 2,2-(di-p- hydroxyphenyl)propane, 2,2-bis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, 4,4'-cyclohexylidenebis(2,6-tert-butylphenol), hexamethyleneglycol-bis[3- (3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate], triethyleneglycolbis[3-(3-tert- butyl-4-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)propionate], 2,2'-thio-[diethyl-3-(3,5-di-tert- butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate], 3,9-bis{1,1-dimethyl-2-[3-(3-tert-butyl-4- hydroxy-5-methyl-phenyl)propionyloxy]ethyl}2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro- [5,5]undecane, 4,4'-thiobis(3-methyl-6-tert-butylphenol) and 2,2'-thiobis(4,6- di-tert-butylresorcinol); - Polyphenols such as tetrakis[methylene-3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4- hydroxyphenyl)propionate]methane, 1,1,3-tris(2-methyl-4-hydroxy-5-tert- butylphenyl)butane, 1,3,5-trimethyl-2,4,6-tris(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4- hydroxybenzyl)benzene, bis-[3,3'-bis(4'-hydroxy-3'-tert-butylphenyl)butyric acid]glycol ester, 2-(3',5'-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)methyl-4-(2'',4''-di- tert-butyl-3''-hydroxyphenyl)methyl-6-tert-butylphenol and 2,6-bis(2'-hydroxy- 3'-tert-butyl-5'-methylbenzyl)-4-methylphenol; - 4-tert-butylphenol-formaldehyde condensates and 4-tert-butylphenol- acetaldehyde condensates; 4760-01 - and mixtures thereof. [0057] The hindered phenol antioxidant often contains a secondary butyl and/or a tertiary butyl group as a sterically hindering group.

[0063] In one embodiment, the lubricating composition is free or substantially free (less than 0.01 wt. %, or less than 0.001 wt. % or 0 wt. %) of all aminic antioxidants. c) The Sulfurized Organic Compound [0064] The exemplary sulfurized organic compound helps to control wear in a lubricated device, such as an engine, particularly for extreme pressure conditions in automobile, truck and industrial engines. They can also have very good thermal oxidation stability and rust inhibition properties. [0065] Sulfurized organic compounds include those that are substantially nitrogen-free, that is, do not contain nitrogen functionality. They may be 4760-01 formed by sulfurizing an organic compound containing at least one olefinic double bond (a non-aromatic double bond), that is, one connecting two aliphatic carbon atoms. The organic compounds to be sulfurized may, in some cases, include metal cations (e.g., from Group I or II, e.g., sodium, potassium, barium, calcium); halogen groups (e.g., chloro, bromo, or iodo); and/or oxygen-containing groups, such as ester groups. [0066] Example sulfurized organic compounds include dibenzyl mono- and disulfides, sulfurized isobutylene, sulfurized methyl esters of oleic acid, sulfurized alkylphenols, sulfurized dipentene, sulfurized terpenes, and sulfurized Diels-Alder adducts, and phosphosulfurized hydrocarbons such as the reaction product of phosphorus sulfide with turpentine or methyl oleate, and the like. [0067] The sulfurized organic compound or mixture of compounds particularly useful herein contain(s) little or no active sulfur. Active sulfur compounds include a chain of at least two connected sulfur atoms. The chain of sulfur atoms allows the molecule to break easily between sulfur atoms and the reactive sulfur species formed can cause corrosion of some metals, such as copper. Inactive sulfur compounds contain fewer than two connected sulfur atoms, i.e., each sulfur atom is connected to an atom other than sulfur. Some compounds may include both active sulfur and inactive sulfur, with some of the sulfur content being in a chain of two or more sulfur atoms while the remainder of the sulfur occurs as single sulfur atoms. [0068] The sulfurized organic compound or mixture of sulfurized organic compounds, where two or more such compounds are used, may have an active sulfur content, as determined at 150°C by ASTM D1662, of no more than 8 wt. %, or no more than 6 wt. %, or no more than 5 wt. %, or no more than 4 wt. %, %, or no more than 3.5 wt. %, or no more than 3 wt. %, or no more than 2.5 wt. %, or as little as 0 wt. % of active sulfur. In some embodiments, the active sulfur is at least 0.1 wt. %, or at least 0.5 wt. %, or at least 1.0 wt. %, or at least 1.5 wt. %, or at least 1.8 wt. %, of the sulfurized organic compound or mixture of sulfurized organic compounds. Where two or 4760-01 more sulfurized organic compound are employed, the active sulfur content is the average (weighted mean) active sulfur content. [0069] The sulfurized organic compound or mixture of sulfurized organic compounds, where two or more such compounds are used, may have a total sulfur content, as determined in accordance with ASTM D1552-16 (2021), “Standard Test Method for Sulfur in Petroleum Products by High Temperature Combustion and Infrared (IR) Detection or Thermal Conductivity Detection (TCD),” hereinafter D1552, of at least 1 wt. %, or at least 1.5 wt. %, or at least 2 wt. %, or no more than 18 wt. %, or no more than 15 wt. %, or no more than 14.0 wt. %, or no more than 12.0 wt. %, or no more than 5 wt. %. Where two or more sulfurized organic compound are employed, the total sulfur content is the average (weighted mean) sulfur content. [0070] In one embodiment, the percentage, by weight, of the total sulfur (as determined by ASTM D1552) in the sulfurized organic compound that is active sulfur (as determined by ASTM D1662) may be no more than 25 wt. %, or no more than 22 wt. %, or no more than 20 wt. %, or no more than 19 wt. %, and may be as little as 0 wt. %, or in some embodiments, at least 1 wt. %, or at least 1.5 wt. %, or at least 6 wt. %, or at least 10 wt. %, or at least 15 wt. %. Put another way, a ratio by weight of active sulfur to sulfur which is not active sulfur in the sulfurized organic compound may be no more than 25:75, or no more than 22:82, or no more than 20:80. [0071] The sulfurized organic compound(s) may be present in a sufficient amount to provide the lubricating composition with at least 0.01 wt.%, or at least 0.03 wt.%, or at least 0.05 wt.%, or up to 0.12 wt.%, or up to 0.09 wt. %, or up to 0.07 wt.% sulfur. Other sources of sulfur in the lubricating composition may provide additional amounts of sulfur. [0072] The sulfurized organic compound(s) may be present in a sufficient amount to provide the lubricating composition with no more than 0.04 wt. % of active sulfur, or no more than 0.03 wt. %, or no more than 0.025 wt. %, or no more than 0.02 wt. %, or no more than 0.015 wt. % of active sulfur and in some embodiments, to provide the lubricating composition with at least 0.005 wt.%, or at least 0.008 wt.%, or at least 0.01 wt. % of active sulfur. In general, 4760-01 the sulfurized organic compound(s) are the only sources of active sulfur in the lubricating composition. [0073] The sulfurized organic compound may be selected from oligomeric polysulfides, alkyl polysulfides, sulfurized esters, sulfurized alpha olefins, sulfurized fats, and sulfurized soybean oil. [0074] Oligomeric polysulfides can be of the general form shown in Formula I: R1―Sx―[(C(R')vH2-v)n―Sx]p― R2 Formula I, where R1 and R2 are each independently a C2-C20 alkyl, e.g., a C3, or C4 or higher alkyl, or a C16 or lower alkyl, each R' is independently a C1-C20 alkyl, or a C6 or lower alkyl; each n is independently at least 1, or at least 2, or up to 8, e.g., 3-5, such as 3 or 4; p is independently at least 1, or at least 2, or up to 8; each v is from 0-2, e.g., v is 0; and each x is independently at least 1, and in some cases may be at least 2, or up to 3, or higher, with the proviso that the limits noted above on active sulfur of the sulfurized organic compound(s) are met. [0075] In general (e.g., for at least 80% of the Sx groups, or at least 90% of the Sx groups, or in some cases all of the Sx groups) the values of x are no more than 1. The lubricating composition may thus be substantially free of compounds Formula (I) where x is 4 or higher. “Substantially free” in this context, means that x is 4 or higher in no more than 5%, or no more than 2%, or no more than 1%, or no more than 0.5% of the Sx groups. The total sulfur content (ASTM D1552) of such oligomeric polysulfides and mixtures thereof may range from 5-45 wt. %, or at least 10 wt. %. The active sulfur content (ASTM D1662) of such oligomeric polysulfides and mixtures thereof may range from 0.5-10 wt. %, or up to 9 wt. %. [0076] Alkyl polysulfides can be of the general form shown in Formula II: 4760-01 R1―Sx―R2 Formula II, where R1 and R2 are each independently a C2-C20 alkyl, e.g., a C3 or higher alkyl, or a C16 or lower alkyl; and each x is independently at least 1, and in some cases may be at least 2, or up to 3, or higher, with the proviso that the limits noted above on active sulfur of the sulfurized organic compound(s) are met. This generally means the value of x is no more than 1.5, or no more than 1.2, on average, and that the lubricating composition is substantially free of compounds of Formula II where x is 4 or higher. [0077] The total sulfur content (ASTM D1552) of such alkyl polysulfides and mixtures thereof may range from 5-20 wt. %, or at least 10 wt. %. The active sulfur content (ASTM D1662) of such alkyl polysulfides and mixtures thereof may range from 0.5-45 wt. %, or up to 10 wt. %, or up to 9 wt. %, or up to 5 wt. %. The molecular weight may range from 200 to 2000 Dalton. [0078] Example sulfurized esters include sulfurized fatty acid esters of an aliphatic alcohol, such as glycerol, e.g., monoglycerides, diglycerides, and triglycerides, such as sulfurized triglycerides of the general form shown in Formula III: CH2―O―C(=O)―R3 │ CH2―O―C(=O)―R4 │ CH2―O―C(=O)―R5 Formula III, where R3, R4, and R5 are each independently a C8 or higher alkyl or alkenyl group, or a C10 or higher alkyl or alkenyl group, or up to a C30 or up to a C24 alkyl or alkenyl group; and wherein at least one of R3, R4, and R5 is linked to a sulfur atom of a sulfur-containing moiety, intermediate ends of the alkyl group. [0079] Example sulfur-containing moieties can be of the general form: 4760-01 ―Sx―, which forms a link between two of R3, R4, and R5; or ―Sx―R6, where R6 is a C4 or higher, or a C6, or higher, or a C8 or higher, or a C10 or higher, or up to a C50, linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl group, such as ―CH2CH=CHCH2(CH2CH2)qCH3, where q is at least 5, or at least 10, or up to 15; or mixture thereof; where each x is independently at least 1, and in some cases may be at least 2, or up to 3, or higher, but substantially free of compounds of Formula II where x is 4 or higher, with the proviso that the limits noted above on active sulfur of the sulfurized organic compound(s) are met. [0080] One example sulfurized fatty acid ester is a sulfurized triglyceride of the general form shown in Formula IV:
Figure imgf000021_0001
Formula IV, where R6 is as described above, e.g., CH2CH=CHCH2(CH2CH2)13-15CH3; each of R7, R8, R9, R10, R11, and R12 is independently a C2 to C8 alkyl or alkenyl group, e.g., R7 is (CH2)6, R8 is (CH2)6CH3, R9 is (CH2)7, R10 is (CH2)5CH3, R11 is (CH2)6, and R12 is (CH2)6CH3; and each x is independently as described above. [0081] The total sulfur content (ASTM D1552) of the sulfurized triglyceride according to Formula IV may be at least 5 wt. %, or at least 7 wt. %, or up to 15 wt. %, or up to 12 wt. %. 4760-01 [0082] The active sulfur (ASTM D1662) of the sulfurized esters or mixture thereof may be less than 5 wt. %, e.g., from 3 – 4 wt. %. [0083] Other sulfurized esters include sulfurized cycloaliphatic dialkylesters and dialkenyl esters of the general form shown in Formula V:
Figure imgf000022_0001
Formula V, where each of R13 and R14 is independently a C2 or higher alkyl group, such as a C3 or higher, or C4 or higher, or up to C10, or up to C6 alkyl or alkenyl group, e.g., a linear C4 alkyl group; and x is as described above, e.g., x is 1 or 2. [0084] The sulfur content of the sulfurized cycloaliphatic diester(s) may be at least 5 wt. % or at least 10 wt. % or up to 15 wt. %, such as 10-14 wt. % and the active sulfur may be 1 to 5 wt. %. For example, the active sulfur content of a mixture of sulfurized cycloaliphatic dibutylesters of the form shown in Formula V may be at least 1 wt. % or at least 1.5 wt. % or up to 5 wt. %, such as up to 3 wt. %. [0085] Example sulfurized organic compounds include sulfurized olefins (sulfurized alkenes), which can be obtained by reacting a sulfurizing agent with an alkene, such as isobutylene, in the presence of a catalyst. Sulfurizing agents include elemental sulfur, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur halide, sodium sulfide, and a mixture of hydrogen sulfide and sulfur or sulfur dioxide. The amount of sulfurizing agent employed may be calculated based on the total olefinic unsaturation of the mixture. For example, 0.5 to 1.2 moles of sulfur are employed per mole of olefinic bonds. The olefinic compound may contain from 2 to 50 carbon atoms. [0086] Example sulfurized olefins can be obtained from isobutylene, sulfur and hydrogen sulfide, by catalytic processes using solid catalysts such as 4760-01 those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,472,354B2 and 4,876,389A, by reacting a mercaptan and sulfur in the presence of a basic catalyst. They can also be produced by a two-step process, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,937,385A, which includes synthesizing a mercaptan from an alkene and H2S in the presence of a solid catalyst and then bringing the mercaptan with sulfur and another heterogeneous catalyst together to form the sulfurized olefin. [0087] A sulfurized olefin as illustrated in Formula IV can be prepared as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,957,651. The method employs a cosulfurized mixture of two or more reactants selected from (1) at least one fatty acid ester of a polyhydric alcohol, (2) at least one fatty acid, (3) at least one olefin, and (4) at least one fatty acid ester of a monohydric alcohol. Reactant (3), the olefin component, includes at least one olefin. The olefin may be an aliphatic olefin, containing 4 to 40 carbon atoms, such as from 8 to 36 or 12 to 18 carbon atoms. Terminal olefins, or alpha-olefins, are particularly suitable, especially those having from 12 to 20 carbon atoms. [0088] A sulfurized organic compound as illustrated in Formula V can be the reaction product of a sulfurizing agent and at least one Diels-Alder adduct, in a molar ratio of at least 0.75:1. The molar ratio of sulfur source to Diels- Alder adduct may be from 0.75:1 to 1:1.2. The Diels-Alder adducts can be prepared from dienophiles having at least one carboxylic ester group represented by —C(O)O—Ro, where Ro is the residue of a saturated aliphatic alcohol of up to 40 carbon atoms, the aliphatic alcohol from which —Ro is derived being a mono or polyhydric alcohol, which may be selected from alkylene glycols, alkanols, alkoxy-substituted alkanols, ethanol, ethoxyethanol, propanol, butanol, beta-diethylamino-ethanol, dodecyl alcohol, diethylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, tetrabutylene glycol, hexanol, octanol, isooctyl alcohol and mixtures thereof. Generally, not more than two —C(O)O—Ro groups will be present, and in one embodiment, only one — C(O)O—Ro group. Such materials can also be described as cyclohexene compounds bearing ester substituents. An example sulfurized organic compound of this type is sulfurized 4-carbobutoxy cyclohexene. This and 4760-01 other sulfurized organic compounds can be further treated with other materials such as an aryl phosphate, e.g., triphenyl phosphite. [0089] The sulfurization reaction may be affected at an elevated temperature, e.g., 50-350° C or 100-200° C, with efficient agitation and often in an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen, optionally in the presence of an inert solvent. d) Performance additives i) Dispersants [0090] The lubricating composition optionally further includes at least one dispersant. Exemplary dispersants include succinimide dispersants, Mannich dispersants, succinamide dispersants, and polyolefin succinic acid esters, amides, and ester-amides, and mixtures thereof. [0091] In an exemplary embodiment, the dispersant includes at least one succinimide dispersant. The dispersant may be an N-substituted long chain alkenyl succinimide. An example of an N-substituted long chain alkenyl succinimide is polyisobutylene succinimide. The polyisobutylene from which polyisobutylene succinic anhydride is derived has a number average molecular weight Mn of at least 300, or at least 350, or at least 500, or at least 550, or at least 750, or at least 1000, and can be up to 5000, or up to 3000, or up to 2500. Such succinimides can be formed, for example, from high vinylidene polyisobutylene and maleic anhydride. Succinimide dispersants and their preparation are disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos.3,172,892, 3,219,666, 3,316,177, 3,340,281, 3,351,552, 3,381,022, 3,433,744, 3,444,170, 3,467,668, 3,501,405, 3,542,680, 3,576,743, 3,632,511, 4,234,435, Re 26,433, 6,165,235, and 7,238,650 and EP0355895A2. [0092] In one embodiment, the succinimide dispersant is a polyisobutylene succinimide dispersant derived from an 1800 to 2200 Mn polyisobutylene, which includes 0.80-1.0 wt. % nitrogen. [0093] In another embodiment, the dispersant may be a polyolefin succinic acid ester, amide, or ester-amide. A polyolefin succinic acid ester-amide may be a polyisobutylene succinic acid reacted with an alcohol (such as 4760-01 pentaerythritol) and a polyamine. Example polyolefin succinic acid esters include polyisobutylene succinic acid esters of pentaerythritol and mixture thereof. [0094] The exemplary dispersants may also be post-treated by conventional methods by a reaction with any of a variety of agents. Among these are boron compounds (such as boric acid), urea, thiourea, dimercaptothiadiazoles, carbon disulfide, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, such as terephthalic acid, hydrocarbon-substituted succinic anhydrides, maleic anhydride, nitriles, epoxides, and phosphorus compounds. In one embodiment the post-treated dispersant is borated. In one embodiment the post-treated dispersant is reacted with dimercaptothiadiazoles. In one embodiment the post-treated dispersant is reacted with phosphoric or phosphorous acid. In one embodiment the post-treated dispersant is reacted with terephthalic acid and boric acid (as described, for example, in U.S. Pub. No.20090054278A1), which may be derived from an aliphatic polyamine, or mixtures thereof. The aliphatic polyamine may be an ethylenepolyamine, a propylenepolyamine, a butylenepolyamine, or a mixture thereof. In one embodiment the aliphatic polyamine may be an ethylenepolyamine. In one embodiment the aliphatic polyamine may be chosen from ethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine, tetraethylenepentamine, pentaethylenehexamine, polyamine still bottoms, and mixtures thereof. [0095] For purposes of expressing the amounts of components in the composition, dispersant viscosity modifiers are classed as viscosity modifiers rather than as dispersants. [0096] When present, the lubricating composition may include, in total, at least 0.01 wt. %, or at least 0.1 wt. %, or at least 0.2 wt. %, or at least 0.5 wt. %, or at least 1 wt. %, or at least 1.5 wt. %, or at least 2 wt. % or at least 3 wt. % dispersant, and in some embodiments, up to 15 wt. %, or up to 10 wt. %, or up to 8 wt. %, or up to 7 wt. %, or up to 5 wt. % of such dispersants. [0097] In one embodiment, the lubricating composition includes at least 0.2 wt. %, or at least 0.5 wt. %, or at least 1.0 wt. %, or up to 7.0 wt. %, or up to 4760-01 6.0 wt. of a succinimide dispersant, which may be borated, or otherwise post- treated. ii) Detergent [0098] The lubricating composition optionally further includes at least one detergent. A detergent is an additive that reduces formation of deposits on lubricated surfaces, for example high-temperature varnish and lacquer deposits on piston surfaces in engines. Exemplary detergents useful herein include metal-containing detergents, which may be neutral or overbased. [0099] The metal of the metal-containing detergent may be zinc, sodium, calcium, barium, or magnesium. The metal-containing detergent may be chosen from sulfonates, non-sulfur containing phenates, sulfur containing phenates, salixarates, salicylates, and mixtures thereof, or borated equivalents thereof. The metal-containing detergent may be borated with a borating agent such as boric acid. [0100] The metal-containing detergent may also include “hybrid” detergents formed with mixed surfactant systems including phenate and/or sulfonate components, e.g., phenate/salicylates, sulfonate/phenates, sulfonate/salicylates, sulfonates/phenates/salicylates, as described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos.6,429,178; 6,429,179; 6,153,565; and 6,281,179. Where a hybrid sulfonate/phenate detergent is employed, the hybrid detergent can be considered equivalent to amounts of distinct phenate and sulfonate detergents introducing like amounts of phenate and sulfonate soaps, respectively. [0101] Example overbased metal-containing detergents include zinc, sodium, calcium, and magnesium salts of sulfonates, phenates (including sulfur-containing and non-sulfur containing phenates), salixarates, and hydroxybenzoates, such as salicylates, which may be hydrocarbyl substituted. Such overbased sulfonates, salixarates, phenates and salicylates may have a total base number of 120 to 700, or 250 to 600, or 300 to 500 (on an oil free basis). [0102] Example sulfonate detergents include linear and branched alkylbenzene sulfonate detergents, and mixtures thereof, which may have a 4760-01 metal ratio of at least 8, as described, for example, in U.S. Pub. No. 2005065045. Linear alkyl benzenes may have the benzene ring attached anywhere on the linear chain, usually at the 2, 3, or 4 position, or be mixtures thereof. In one embodiment, the alkylbenzene sulfonate detergent may be a branched alkylbenzene sulfonate, a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate, or a mixture thereof. The sulfonate detergent may be a metal salt of one or more oil-soluble alkyl toluene sulfonate compounds, as disclosed in U.S. Pub. No. 20080119378 A1. [0103] Examples of hydrocarbyl substituted hydroxybenzoate detergents include neutral and overbased alkaline earth metal C10 to C40 hydrocarbyl substituted hydroxybenzoates, in particular C10 to C40 hydrocarbyl substituted salicylates, as described, for example, in U.S. Pub. No. 20100062958A1. [0104] As an example, the detergent may include at one or more of an overbased calcium hydrocarbyl-substituted hydroxybenzoate detergent (e.g., a calcium salicylate detergent), an overbased calcium sulfonate detergent, and a magnesium sulfonate detergent. The calcium salicylate detergent may be present in sufficient amount to provide the lubricating composition with at least 0.02 wt. % Ca, such at least 0.04 wt. %, or up to 0.3 wt. % or up to 0.2 wt.%, or up to 0.15 wt. % Ca. The overbased calcium sulfonate detergent may be present in sufficient amount to provide at least 0.02 wt. % Ca, such at least 0.04 wt. %, or up to 0.2 wt.%, or up to 0.15 wt. % Ca in the lubricating composition. The magnesium sulfonate detergent may neutral or overbased, such as an overbased sulfonate detergent having a metal ratio of 12 to 20, or 12 to 18, or 20 to 30, or 22 to 25. The magnesium sulfonate detergent may be present in sufficient amount to provide at least 0.01 wt. % Mg, such at least 0.02 wt. %, or up to 0.1 wt.%, or up to 0.06 wt. % Mg in the lubricating composition. One or more of these detergents may be borated, sufficient to provide at least 0.005 wt. % boron, or at least 0.03 wt. % boron, or up to 0.06 wt. %, or up to 0.04 wt.% boron in the lubricating composition. [0105] In one embodiment, the lubricating composition includes, in total, at least 0.1 wt. %, or at least 0.2 wt. %, or at least 0.25 wt. %, or at least 0.4 wt. 4760-01 %, or up to 3.0 wt. %, or up to 2.0 wt. %, or up to 1.5 wt. %, or up to 1.25 wt. % of detergent(s). [0106] The lubricating composition may further include one or more other performance additives, as follows: iii. Anti-wear Agents [0107] The lubricating composition optionally further includes at least one antiwear agent, other than the sulfurized organic compound. Examples of suitable antiwear agents suitable for use herein include metal dihydrocarbyldithiophosphates (such as zinc dialkyldithiophosphates (ZDDPs)), titanium compounds, tartrates, tartrimides, oil soluble amine salts of phosphorus compounds, phosphites (such as dibutyl phosphite), phosphonates, thiocarbamate-containing compounds, such as thiocarbamate esters, thiocarbamate amides, thiocarbamic ethers, alkylene-coupled thiocarbamates, and bis(S-alkyldithiocarbamyl) disulfides. [0108] In one embodiment, the antiwear agent includes a zinc dialkyldithiophosphate. The alkyl groups of the dialkyldithiophosphate may be linear or branched and may contain 2 to 20 carbon atoms, provided that the total number of carbons is sufficient to make the zinc dialkyldithiophosphate oil soluble. Examples of suitable zinc dialkyldithiophosphates (ZDDPs) include zinc di-(2-methylpropyl) dithiophosphate, zinc di-(amyl) dithiophosphate, zinc di-(1,3-dimethylbutyl) dithiophosphate, zinc di-(heptyl) dithiophosphate, zinc di-(octyl) dithiophosphate, zinc di-(2-ethylhexyl) dithiophosphate, zinc di-(nonyl) dithiophosphate, zinc di-(decyl) dithiophosphate, zinc di-(dodecyl) dithiophosphate, zinc di-(dodecylphenyl) dithiophosphate, zinc di-(heptylphenyl) dithiophosphate, and ZDDPs prepared from mixed alcohols such as methylpropyl and amyl alcohols, 2- ethylhexyl and isopropyl alcohols, 4-methyl-2-pentyl and isopropyl alcohols, and mixtures thereof. [0109] In one embodiment, the ZDDP is at least 0.1 wt. % or at least 0.25 wt. %, or at least 0.5 wt. %, or up to 5 wt. %, or up to 4 wt. %, or up to 3 wt. % of the lubricating composition. 4760-01 [0110] In one embodiment, the ZDDP is present in sufficient amount to provide at least 0.03 wt. % or at least 0.06 wt. %, or up to 0.5 wt. % or up to 0.1 wt. % Zn in the lubricating composition. [0111] The antiwear agent may, in another embodiment, include a tartrate or tartrimide, as described in U.S. Pub. Nos. 2006/0079413; 2006/0183647; and 2010/0081592. The tartrate or tartrimide may contain alkyl-ester groups, where the sum of carbon atoms on the alkyl groups is at least 8. The antiwear agent may, in one embodiment, include a citrate as disclosed in U.S. Pub. No. 20050198894. [0112] In one embodiment, the lubricating composition is free or substantially free of metal-containing antiwear agents. In other embodiments, the lubricating composition is free or substantially free of phosphorus- containing antiwear agents. For example, phosphorus-containing antiwear agents are absent or, where present, are in an amount to provide the lubricating composition with no more than 0.8 wt. % phosphorus, or no more than 0.15 wt. % phosphorus. For example, C3/6 mixed secondary ZDDP’s may be present at up to 1.2 wt. %, or up to 1 wt. %, or up to 0.5 wt. %. [0113] When present, the lubricating composition may include at least 0.01 wt. %, or at least 0.1 wt. %, or at least 0.25 wt. %, or at least 0. 5 wt. % of antiwear agent(s), and in some embodiments, up to 5 wt. %, or up to 4 wt. %, or up to 3 wt. % antiwear agent. iv) Extreme Pressure (EP) agents [0114] The lubricating composition may include an extreme pressure agent in addition to the sulfurized organic compound that is low in active sulfur.

[0156] An exemplary method of lubricating a mechanical device, such as an engine of a car or truck, includes supplying the exemplary lubricating composition to the device. [0157] Generally, the lubricating composition is added to the lubricating system of an internal combustion engine, which then delivers the lubricating composition to the cylinder of the engine, during its operation, where minor amounts may be combusted with the fuel.

* Theoretical value based on composition Evaluation of Lubricating Compositions [0179] Various tests are performed on the lubricating compositions of the Examples above: [0180] Total Base Number (TBN): is determined according to ASTM D2896-21. 4760-01 [0181] Kinematic Viscosity: Kinematic viscosity at 100°C (KV_100) and at 40°C (KV_40) are measured according to ASTM D445-21e1. [0182] % Sulfated Ash (% SA): determined in accordance with ASTM D874- 13a. [0183] Viscosity Index: is determined according to ASTM D2270-10 (2016), “Standard Practice for Calculating Viscosity Index from Kinematic Viscosity at 40 °C and 100 °C.” [0184] Apparent Viscosity: is determined by the following methods: [0185] 1. The Cold Crank Simulator (CCS) test at -30 °C, according to ASTM D5293-20, “Standard Test Method for Apparent Viscosity of Engine Oils and Base Stocks Between –10 °C and –35 °C Using Cold-Cranking Simulator,” in cP. [0186] 2. ASTM D5481-21, “Standard Test Method for Measuring Apparent Viscosity at High-Temperature and High-Shear Rate by Multicell Capillary Viscometer,” (HTHS), in cP. [0187] 3. CEC L-36-90 “High shear high temperature viscosity measurement,” 2019, for some examples. [0188] Antioxidation Properties [0189] Oxidation properties are determined using the Renault Catalyst Oxidation Test (TOC-4) Procedure by Renault (RNES-B-00023). This test method assesses the resistance against oxidation of an engine lubricating oil composition and the method simulates changes in engine oils subjected to harsh conditions of increased load and regime, and hot casing. In the TOC-4 procedure, four tubes each containing 150 g of oil containing anhydrous iron (III) acetylacetonate catalyst (360 ppm iron) are heated in a test cell at 170°C for 168 hours. During this time, air is blown through the oil in the tubes at a rate of 10 liters per hour. Samples of each oil (30 ml) are assessed for oxidative degradation after 24 hours, 120 hours, 136 hours, and 168 hours; the samples after 120 hours providing the average value for the TOC-4 procedure. The oxidative degradation of an oil samples is assessed using infra-red spectrometry by measuring the area of the infra-red band between 1800 to 1650 cm−1 (C═O) and comparing the increase in area of this band 4760-01 with that of the original oil (sample at t=0). A lower peak area increase indicates lower oxidative degradation. To pass the TOC-4 test, a peak area increase after 120 hours must be less than 400. [0190] Total Acid Number (TAN) at 120hrs (mg KOH/g), according to ASTM D664-18e2, “Standard Test Method for Acid Number of Petroleum Products by Potentiometric Titration.” [0191] Oxidation Resistance: determined by the Kinematic Viscosity Change at 170°C for the following: [0192] 1. Relative Change in KV_40 at 120hrs, as compared with fresh lubricating composition, % (≤ 200 to meet the Renault RN-17 Specification). [0193] 2. Relative Change in KV_100 at a specified time (e.g., 120 hrs or 260 hrs), as compared with fresh lubricating composition, %. [0194] Oxidation stability: (Volvo T-13 test) is determined in accordance with ASTM D8048-21ae1, “Standard Test Method for Evaluation of Diesel Engine Oils in T-13 Diesel Engine,” using a 2010 Volvo/Mack D13/D8, 505 Brake Horsepower, 13L, in-line 6-cylinder diesel engine with 6 electronic unit injectors, variable geometry turbocharger, with cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). The test is operated for 360 hrs at 1500 RPM steady state conditions at a given fuel flow, producing approximately 2200 N m and 130°C oil temperature with 19-20% EGR to evaluate the oxidative stability of engine oils. [0195] Oxidation Induction Time (OIT): Thin film antioxidancy is measured as the OIT, in minutes, which is determined according to CEC L-85-99: “Oxidative Stability of Lubricants by PDSC (Pressure Differential Scanning Calorimetry).” This represents the time after which oxygen uptake, as measured by a pressure drop, ceases. The longer the OIT, the better the antioxidancy. [0196] Deposit Control: Deposit control is evaluated using the MHT TEOST and Komatsu Hot Tube Tests, as follows. [0197] MHT TEOST: is measured according to ASTM D7097-19, “Standard Test Method for Determination of Moderately High Temperature Piston 4760-01 Deposits by Thermo-Oxidation Engine Oil Simulation Test—TEOST MHT.” The total deposits are reported in mg. [0198] Komatsu Hot Tube Test (280°C), KES_07.803: In this test, glass tubes are inserted through and heated by an aluminum heater block. The sample is pumped via a syringe pump through the glass tube for 16 hours, at a flow rate of 0.31 cm3/hr, along with an air flow of 10 cm3/min. At the end of the test the tubes are rinsed and rated visually on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being a black tube and 10 being a clean tube. [0199] Corrosion Properties [0200] Corrosion properties for are evaluated according to ASTM D6594- 20e1- “Standard Test Method for Evaluation of Diesel Engine Oil at 135°C” and ASTM D130-19, “Standard Test Method for Corrosiveness to Copper from Petroleum Products by Copper Strip Test.” The ASTM D6594 test method covers testing diesel engine lubricants to determine their tendency to corrode various metals, specifically alloys of lead and copper commonly used in cam followers and bearings. [0201] TABLE 7 shows results from the Volvo T-13 test for Examples 1 and 2. TABLE 7: Oxidation Stability

[0202] This test is a severe heavy duty oxidation engine test. The lubricating composition of Example 2 showed outstanding control of oxidation and viscosity increase, exceeding the required industry limits for this test. The result is unexpected in view of the absence of aminic antioxidant. [0203] Additional test results for Examples 1-7 are shown in TABLE 8. 4760-01 TABLE 8: Test Results
Figure imgf000053_0001
* Too viscous to measure **A lower peak area increase indicates lower oxidative degradation. [0204] The results suggest that increases in the amount of phenolic antioxidant leads to improvements in the oxidation resistance (e.g., as oxidation induction time). At 4 wt. % of the phenolic antioxidant, the oxidation resistance is comparable to that of the SDPA-containing composition. Examples 6 and 7 provide excellent oxidative performance and viscosity. [0205] TABLE 9 shows results of oxidation induction time for Examples 8- 13. TABLE 9: Oxidation Induction Time
Figure imgf000053_0002
[0206] Corrosion test results are shown in TABLE 10. 4760-01 TABLE 10: Corrosion Test Results
Figure imgf000054_0001
[0207] It can be seen from Tables 9 and 10 that Examples 9 and 10 provide excellent oxidative performance, while also providing reduced corrosion of metals. [0208] Example 13 uses a sulfurized fatty acid ester of the type described in U.S. Pat. No. 11,136,652 B1. Example 13 did not perform as well as Examples 8, 9, and 10, which exhibit superior oxidative performance. These three samples include active sulfur at less than 0.015 wt. % of the lubricating composition and a sulfurized olefin in which active sulfur amounts to less than 20 wt. % of the total sulfur in sulfurized olefin. [0209] The results show that relatively high levels (2wt. % to 4wt. %) of an SDPA-free phenolic antioxidant can achieve oxidation performance that previously required relying on SDPA phenolic antioxidants and also provide lower corrosion rates.
