Embodiments of the present disclosure directed towards synthetic lubricant compositions. In various embodiments, the present disclosure provides a synthetic lubricant compositions including an aromatic amine antioxidant comprising 0.25 to 5 weight percent of a total weight of the synthetic lubricant composition, dithiocarbamate antioxidant comprising 0.25 to 5 weight percent of the total weight of the synthetic lubricant composition, and a polyalkylene glycol PAG comprising 99.25 to 85 weight percent of the total weight of the synthetic lubricant composition, where the synthetic lubricant composition has a total acidic number (TAN) increase of 2 milligrams of potassium hydroxide per gram of the synthetic lubricant composition over 27 days or greater as measured in accordance with modified ASTM D-664, and where the synthetic lubricant composition does not include any of a Group I, II, III, IV base oil.

Lubricating oil composition is provided. The composition includes several components including a base oil, a primary antioxidant including alkylated diphenylamines having an alkyl group derived from a propylene tetramer; and a sulfonate detergent.

The present disclosure describes lubricant compositions effective to minimize average engine sludge through selection of lubricant additives that control the total nitrogen as well as the origin of the nitrogen in the lubricant composition. In aspects, the lubricant compositions herein include at least a base oil of lubricating viscosity, a dispersant system, and at least one antioxidant.

The present invention relates to a use of a lubricant comprising a base oil selected from a carboxylic acid ester in an electric vehicle. It further relates to a method for lubricating an electric vehicle with a lubricant comprising the carboxylic acid ester.

The present invention relates to hydrogenated linear copolymers comprising butadiene and isoprene monomer units, as well as the process for preparing these copolymers. The invention further relates to a lubricating oil composition comprising one or more hydrogenated linear copolymers according to the invention, as well as to the use of the aforementioned copolymers as a lubricant additive or a synthetic base fluid for lubricant compositions, especially in gear oils, transmission oils, hydraulic oils, engine oils, grease, marine oils or industrial lubricating oils.

The use of a lubricant composition in order to cool and/or lubricate the engine of an electric vehicle and the different parts thereof, particularly moving parts, is disclosed. In particular, the use of a lubricant composition includes at least one polyalkylene glycol.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a process for producing synthetic hydrocarbon base oils having advantageous properties for formulation of engine oils, and the base oils obtained by such processes, involving the production of branched alkenes from the oligomerization of C14-C18 olefins. According to one embodiment, the base oils are obtained by first forming a mixture of two or more olefins ranging from C14-C18, where one of the olefins is an alpha olefin and the other has an average double bond position between 1.5-5.0, and oligomerizing this mixture in the presence of a catalyst to form one or more branched alkenes, hydrogenating the branched alkenes, and fractionating to form base oils. According to one aspect, advantageous properties can be obtained by controlling one or more of the degree of branching, branch length, branching positions, selection of the C14-C18 olefins, and catalytic isomerization, during or after the oligomerization process.

This disclosure relates to base stocks comprising a C28-C32 hydrocarbon fraction and optionally a C42-C48 hydrocarbon fraction produced by dimerization and trimerization of a linear C14 mono-olefin, a linear C16 mono-olefin, or a mixture thereof, in the presence of a Lewis acid, oil compositions comprising such base stock(s), and processes for making such base stocks.
