Abstract

AbstractComparative tests of more than 15 detergents (calcium sulphonates and phenates) of different basicity and dispersants (succinimides) were carried out using laboratory test methods. The effectiveness of the detergent and dispersant action of the test additives, their thermal, hydrolytic, and colloidal stability, and their influence on the antioxidant properties of engine oils were evaluated. The results obtained showed that it is possible to differentiate additives of various types, and demonstrated the relative efficiency of additives belonging to the same class. The effectiveness of certain additive packages was evaluated using a new approach: in addition to the laboratory methods, the retention of the dispersing ability of additive packages was evaluated in previously oxidised additivated engine oils. This allowed the efficiency of engine oils of different categories to be characterised.
