Multigrade hydrogenated decene-1 oligomer engine oils

摘要

Non-polymer thickened multigrade engine oils based on synthetic basestocks are provided. The SAE 5W-30, SAE 10W-30 and SAE 15W-40 engine oils are derived from hydrogenated decene-1 oligomer mixtures wherein the oligomers range from C30 up to C70+ and are present in specified proportions. Synthetic esters may be combined with the polyalphaolefin oligomer mixture. The synthetic basestocks are formulated with appropriate performance additives to obtain engine oils which meet the desired API Service Requirements for gasoline and/or diesel engine usage. In addition to specified oligomer distributions, the polyalphaolefins have specified viscosities, molecular weights and branching.
