OIL COMPOSITION FOR LUBRICATING AN EGR EQUIPPED DIESEL ENGINE AND AN EGR EQUIPPED DIESEL ENGINE COMPRISING SAME.

摘要

The present invention is directed to a lubricating oil composition, a diesel engine comprising a lubricating oil composition, and a method of lubricating a diesel engine provided with an exhaust gas recirculation system, comprising lubricating said engine with a lubricating oil composition comprising an oil of lubricating viscosity, and a polymeric N-dispersant booster comprising monomer units of: a) 0 to 40 wt.% of one or more ethylenically unsaturated ester compounds of formula (I), wherein R is equal to H or CH₃, R¹ represents a linear or branched alkyl group with 1 to 5 carbon atoms, R² and R³ independently represent H or a group of the formula -COOR', wherein R' is H or an alkyl group with 1 to 5 carbon atoms, b) 10 to 98 wt.% of one or more ethylenically unsaturated ester compounds of formula (II), wherein R is equal to H or CH₃, R⁴ represents a linear or branched alkyl group with 6 to 15 carbon atoms, R⁵ and R⁶ independently represent H or a group of the formula -COOR", wherein R" is H or an alkyl group with 6 to 15 carbon atoms, c) 0 to 30 wt.% of one or more ethylenically unsaturated ester compounds of formula (III), wherein R is equal to H or CH₃, R⁷ represents a linear or branched alkyl group with 16 to 30 carbon atoms, R⁸and R⁹ independently represent H or a group of the formula -COOR"', wherein R"' is H or an alkyl group with 16 to 30 carbon atoms, d) 0 to 30 wt.% vinyl monomers, e) 7 to 25 wt.% of at least one N- dispersant monomer, wherein a) - e) add up to 100 wt.%.
