Abstract
AbstractThe antioxidant properties of engine calcium sulphonate, phenate and salicylate detergent additives were investigated. Their influence on engine oil oxidation both in the presence of metallic copper, oil‐soluble copper compounds, and without any catalyst, was studied. The influence of the detergent type and its basicity on oil antioxidant properties was determined. The specific influence of the co‐operative action of detergent additives and zinc dithiophosphate on the antioxidant properties of engine oil formulations with these additives was established. The results obtained revealed various new patterns concerning the oil oxidation process, and allowed us to characterise the process of depletion of detergent additives during oil ageing.
