Publication number: 20200190425Abstract: This disclosure provides a method for improving or maintaining antioxidant performance of a lubricating oil in an engine or other mechanical component lubricated with the lubricating oil by using as the lubricating oil a formulated oil. The formulated oil has a composition including a lubricating oil base stock as a major component, and at least one functionalized quercetin antioxidant, as a minor component. The at least one functionalized quercetin antioxidant is soluble in the lubricating oil. Antioxidant performance is improved or maintained as compared to antioxidant performance achieved using a lubricating oil containing a phenolic or aminic antioxidant, as determined by Lubricant Oxidation Test as described herein or Catalytic Oxidation Test as described herein. This disclosure also relates to lubricating oils having at least one functionalized quercetin antioxidant.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2019Publication date: June 18, 2020Inventors: Halou Oumar-Mahamat, Martin N.
