HIGH THROUGHPUT SCREENING METHODS FOR LUBRICATING OIL COMPOSITIONS

摘要

A method for determining oxidation stability for a plurality of different lubricating oil composition samples (212) is provided. The methods can advantageously be optimized using combinatorial chemistry, in which a database of combinations of lubricating oil compositions is generated. As market conditions vary and/or product requirements or customer specifications change, conditions suitable for forming desired products can be identified with little or no downtime.
