HT PURITY PROCESS
Initially, light oils such as gasoline, diesel, etc., are separated from crude
petroleum by atmospheric distillation. The resulting material is charged to a
vacuum distillation tower, where lubricant fractions of specific viscosity ranges
are taken off. These fractions are then treated individually in a solvent
extraction tower. A solvent such as furfural is mixed with them and extracts
about 70-85% of the aromatic material present. The solvent extracted lube
fraction is then dewaxed by chilling to a low temperature, which removes much
of the wax. This improves the low temperature fluidity of the product. Finally,
the dewaxed lube fractions are sometimes finished to improve their colour and
stability, depending on the application requirements. One common method of
finishing is mild hydrofinishing. This step should not be confused with
Petro-Canadas Patented HT Purity Process, as conditions of
temperature and pressure in hydrofinishing are mild and less effective. The
API classifies the products of Solvent Refining as Group I base oils.

AUTOMOTIVE LUBRICANTS
AUTOMOTIVE LUBRICANTS
Automotive equipment is the largest user of lubricants and the steady
improvement of this equipment can only be maintained with the continued
close association with leading lubricant manufacturers, such as Petro-Canada.
Operators of automotive equipment have come to expect high quality and reliable performance from todays automotive lubricants.
Petro-Canada is committed to maintaining its leadership in automotive lubricant quality, by continued R&D effort to find new and improved products.
Researchers at our Lubricants Centre are continually working with test
engines and in the field with commercial equipment. Petro-Canada keeps in
close contact with all the car, truck, engine and other equipment manufacturers as well as with our customers. Our goal is to meet the ever changing
needs of the market.
AUTOMOTIVE LUBRICANTS
The effect of temperature on viscosity varies widely with different types of oil.
For this reason, a standard has been developed for measuring the amount of
viscosity change with temperature change. This standard is called the Viscosity
Index (V.l.). An oil with a high viscosity index is one that shows less change in
viscosity over a wide range of temperatures. Today, through the use of new
refining methods and special chemical additives, there are many high viscosity
index engine oils that are light enough for easy cranking at low temperatures
and still be heavy enough to perform satisfactorily at high temperatures.
These oils with high viscosity indexes are known as multi-grade oils. Often
they are also called by names that imply all-season usage since they perform
satisfactorily in both winter and summer. Multi-grade, as well as single-grade,
oils are recommended by vehicle manufacturers.
28
AUTOMOTIVE LUBRICANTS
Reduce Friction
Under full-film lubrication conditions, a thick film of oil prevents metal-to-metal
contact between moving engine parts. Relative movement of these lubricated
parts requires enough force to overcome the fluid friction of the lubricant. The
viscosity of the oil should be high enough to maintain an unbroken film, but
should not be higher than necessary, since this increases the amount of force
required to overcome this fluid friction.
Car manufacturers specify proper oil viscosity ranges according to expected
atmospheric temperatures. This is to ensure that the lubricant will provide adequate, but not excessive, viscosity at normal operating conditions. When oil
becomes contaminated, its viscosity changes. With soot, dirt, oxidation, or
sludge, viscosity increases; with fuel dilution it decreases. Both directions of
viscosity change are potentially harmful to the engine. For this reason, contaminant levels in motor oil must be kept low. This can be best accomplished
by changing the oil and filter at proper intervals.
The amount and type of chemical additives become more important than viscosity to the effectiveness of a motor oil in reducing friction under the extreme
pressure conditions of boundary lubrication. The proper balance of the total
additive system in a modern motor oil is critical if all lubrication conditions of
an engine are to be satisfied. The oil formulator can achieve this balance of
motor oil compounding only through much research, with emphasis on prooftesting in actual engines, both in the laboratory and in field service.

the combustion chamber. This not only reduces oil consumption, but more
importantly, keeps combustion chamber deposits to a minimum.
Excessive combustion chamber deposits adversely affect engine operation.
Deposits that form on spark plugs may cause the plugs to short out. Their buildup causes pinging, knock, or other combustion irregularities that reduce the efficiency and economy of the engine. Because these deposits act as heat barriers, pistons, rings, spark plugs, and valves are not properly cooled. This can
result in damage or even failure of the parts necessitating premature overhaul.
In preventing excessive combustion chamber deposits, it is important that a
motor oil accomplish two things:
The oil must keep the rings free so that they can minimize the amount of oil
reaching the combustion chamber.
That portion of the oil reaching the combustion chamber should burn as
cleanly as possible.
Fight Soot
Soot is a by-product of diesel-engine combustion. It is black carbonaceous
particulate matter, which does not dissolve in lubricating oil, but can be suspended by the oil and removed during an oil change. If soot is not well dispersed in an oil, it will cause the oil to thicken up and go out of grade. In addition, soot can agglomerate to form particles large enough to cause abrasive
wear and when the soot load of an oil gets too high, it settles out and forms
sludge. Agglomerated soot and/or highly thickened oil can result in high pressure at the oil filter inlet. This can cause the filter by-pass to open and allow
unfiltered oil into the engine.
Engine oils formulated to fight soot are able to disperse large amounts of soot
without thickening up. Good soot dispersal stops large particles agglomerating, prevents abrasive wear developing and inhibits the formation of sludge.
Fighting soot formation in diesel engines has become a serious concern
recently, due to new severe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emission regulations. They have forced the diesel engine makers to lower NOx
emissions from all new diesel engines. To do this, the designers have retarded
the fuel-injection timing and some have added exhaust gas recirculation
(EGR). Unfortunately these changes reduce combustion efficiency and
increases soot production, sometimes by as much as 500%. This U.S. EPA
regulation effects all new or rebuilt engines sold in North America, since the
manufacturers distribute the same engines and rebuild kits world-wide.
AUTOMOTIVE LUBRICANTS
temperatures while others, such as the main and connecting rod bearings,
must run relatively cool to avoid failure. These parts must get an ample supply
of cool oil to pick up the heat and carry it back to the crankcase where it is
cooled by heat transfer to the surrounding air.
To keep this cooling process working, large volumes of oil must be constantly
circulated to the bearings and other engine parts. If the oil supply is interrupted, these parts heat up rapidly from increased friction and combustion
temperatures. A bearing failure is often referred to as a burned-out bearing
because temperatures rose high enough to actually melt the bearing metal.
While only a small quantity of oil is required at any one time and place to provide lubrication, the oil pump must circulate many litres of oil per minute in
order to achieve this. Chemical additives and the physical properties of the oil
have little effect on its ability to provide adequate cooling. What is critical is the
continuous circulation of large quantities of oil throughout the engine and over
hot engine parts. This is made possible through the use of large-capacity oil
pumps and oil passages adequate to handle the required volume of oil. These
oil passages cannot do the job properly if they are allowed to become partially
or completely clogged with deposits. When this happens, the oil cannot circulate or cool properly and early engine failure may result. This is another reason for changing the oil and filter before the contaminant level becomes too
high. Proper cooling also requires that the oil level in the crankcase never be
permitted to remain below the add oil line on the dipstick.
Be Non-Foaming
Because of the many rapidly moving parts in an engine, air in the crankcase is
constantly being whipped into the oil. This produces foam, which is simply a
lot of air bubbles which may or may not readily collapse. These air bubbles
normally rise to the surface and break, but water and certain other contaminants slow down the rate at which this occurs, and the result is foam.
Foam is not a good conductor of heat, so if the amount of foam is excessive,
engine cooling will be impaired because the heat will not be dissipated. Foam
also does not have much ability to carry a load and prevent wear of hydraulic
valve lifters and bearings. This is because it contains air and air is easily compressible. On the other hand, oil which is free of air is virtually incompressible.

AUTOMOTIVE LUBRICANTS
ADDITIVES
As previously stated, an engine oil has to perform ten basic functions. To carry
out these functions, the base oil must be refined to the highest level possible
and then compounded with specially selected chemical additives. Skillful
selection of additives, blended together with Petro-Canadas HT Severely
Hydrocracked base oils results in engine oils of outstanding performance.
DETERGENTS
These chemicals, usually metallic based, are designed to control deposits and
keep engine components clean. They are able to clean up existing deposits in
the engine, as well as disperse insoluble matter into the oil. Detergents control
contamination resulting from high temperature operation.
DISPERSANTS
These are usually ashless organic chemicals, which control contamination
from low temperature operation. Both detergents and dispersants attach themselves to contaminant particles, such as soot and hold them in suspension,
preventing sludge and deposit formation. The suspended particles, together
with their additive carrier, are so finely divided that they can pass harmlessly
between mating surfaces and through oil filters. This contamination is
removed from the engine when the oil is changed.
OXIDATION INHIBITORS
These agents reduce oxygen attack on the lubricant base oil to a minimum.
Petro-Canadas HT Severely Hydrocracked base oils have a superior
response to these additives compared to Solvent Refined base oils. This
results in an engine oil with unrivalled resistance to oil thickening and the
build-up of corrosive acids, hence maintaining good oil flow properties and
resistance to bearing corrosion.
CORROSION INHIBITORS
Acids are produced by the combustion process and when an engine oil
degrades with use. Unless rendered harmless by the engine oil, these acids
can cause rapid deterioration of engine components. Corrosion inhibitors protect non-ferrous metals by coating them and forming a barrier between the
parts and their environment.
RUST INHIBITORS
Rust Inhibitors protect iron/steel surfaces from oxygen attack, by forming a
similar protective screen as mentioned above. Parts such as hydraulic lifters,
push rods, etc. are prone to this type of corrosion.
ANTI-WEAR AGENTS
These agents prevent wear due to seizure or scuffing of rubbing surfaces. Compounds such as zinc dialkyl-dithiophosphate (ZDDP) break-down at microscopic hot spots and form a chemical film which eliminates metal-to-metal
contact before it grows. Thus scuffing, galling and seizure are prevented.
33
AUTOMOTIVE LUBRICANTS
FOAM DEPRESSANTS
Detergent and dispersant additives can facilitate aeration of an oil, which leads
to foaming. This can reduce the lubricating ability of an oil and even interfere
with oil pumping. Incorporation of a Foam Depressant controls this tendency.
Vl improvers control the viscosity of multi-grade oils. They are polymers which
act like popcorn. At low temperatures, they are tight-balls which do not significantly increase the oils resistance to flow. However, at high temperatures,
these tight-balls explode into long chain polymers, which interweave and
increase the oils resistance to flow (viscosity). Thus, the tendency of an oil to
thin at high temperatures is controlled and reduced. Vl improvers must be
shear stable, that is be able to perform when the oil film is subject to great
stress and also resist high temperatures.
FRICTION MODIFIERS
Some oils contain friction-modifying chemicals, which can reduce the fuel consumption of an engine. These chemicals form a chemical or physically bonded
film that reduces the friction between the moving engine parts.

The W following the SAE viscosity grade stands for winter and indicates
that an oil is suitable for use in colder temperatures. Oils carrying the W designation must have the proper viscosity value when measured at appropriate
low temperatures. Those SAE classifications which do not include the W
define oil grades for use at higher temperatures. The viscosity of these oils
SAE 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 must have the proper value when measured at
100C and under high shear conditions at 150C.

Ralube oils are designed to provide the superior deposit control necessary for
severe railroad service. In addition, by minimizing engine deposits, they allow
maximum oil drain intervals to be achieved without any compromise in engine
durability.
Ralube oils are zinc-free for compatibility with silver plated or silver alloy bearings. Ralube oils have been tested and approved in railroad service, in close
co-operation with the major locomotive engine builders such as General
Motors Electro-Motive Division, General Electric and ALCO. General Motors
Electro-Motive Division and General Electric list these oils as approved for use
in their equipment.

Automatic Transmission Fluids (ATFs) are among the most complex lubricants
on the market today. Containing as many as 15 components, ATFs represent a
careful balance of properties needed to meet the unique requirements of
automatic transmissions. They may be described as viscometrically similar to
SAE 0W-20 grade oils, but with exceptionally good low temperature properties.
ATFs contain some of the same additives as engine oils, but with additional
material to give special frictional properties and exceptional oxidation resistance.
Because of their excellent low temperature fluidity and antiwear properties, automatic transmission fluids perform well as hydraulic fluids in industrial equipment
and air compressors, provided water separation is not required.
These fluids perform five basic functions:
Transmit hydrodynamic energy in the torque converter.
Transmit hydrostatic energy in hydraulic logic control circuits and
servomechanisms.
Lubricate shaft bearings, thrust bearings, and gears.
Transmit sliding friction energy in bands and clutches.
Act as a heat transfer medium controlling automatic transmission operating
temperatures.
Automatic transmission fluid specifications are in a state of flux and now there are
several types of fluid specified for North American automatic transmissions. The
most widely marketed fluid by far, is DEXRON-III/ MERCON ATF, a friction modified fluid, recommended for transmission top-up or refill, by most automobile manufacturers for late model vehicles. However, the Ford Motor Company requires all its
automatic transmissions, built from 1997 onwards to be serviced with MERCONV
fluid. Daimler Chrysler recommends ATF+3 fluid be used in their transmissions.
Certain Chrysler automatic transmissions, manufactured from 1998 onwards,
require servicing with ATF+4 only - see Chrysler vehicle owners manuals. Ford
Type F, a non friction-modified fluid, is still required for 1979 and earlier Ford or
other older import cars.

must also be met after testing in 20 hour KRL Shear Stability Test, (CEC L-45-T-93 Method C).
SAE viscosity selection should be based on the minimum and maximum service temperatures. Todays most commonly used gear lubricants are multigraded (e.g. 75W-90, 80W-90 and 85W-140). These fluids meet both the low
and high temperature requirements for the combined grades.
For example, an 80W-90 oil must have the low temperature fluidity of an 80W
as well as the thickness of a 90 grade at higher temperatures.

INDUSTRIAL LUBRICANTS
INDUSTRIAL LUBRICANTS
Business today places heavy demands on industrial plant and machinery. We
expect equipment to operate at temperatures between -50C and 150C without losing production or increasing maintenance costs. Notwithstanding these
extremes of temperature, machines today are operated under heavier loads,
run at higher speeds, with smaller oil reservoirs and at longer lubricating intervals than ever before.
Proper lubrication is vital to any operation and is determined by the Four Rs:
Right Lubricant
Right Amount
Right Place
Right Time
Your Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) together with a Petro-Canada
Lubricants Representative or a Technical Services Advisor can assist you in
determining the Four Rights for your equipment or machinery.

INDUSTRIAL LUBRICANTS
Automotive engine and gear oils are not involved in the ISO measurement
system. They continue to be described by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) viscosity classifications (see Automotive Lubricants Section).
The table below shows the kinematic viscosity limits for each ISO Viscosity
Grade. Each viscosity grade is 50% higher in viscosity than the preceding
viscosity grade. These limits are set at a 10 percent tolerance level above and
below the mid-point of a grade. Any product with a viscosity outside these
tolerance levels is not a recognized ISO Viscosity Grade.

INDUSTRIAL LUBRICANTS
INSIDE STORAGE
Preferably lubricants should be stored inside. However, even then there are
certain precautions that should be followed:
The temperature of the storage area should remain moderate and not be
subject to wide fluctuations.
The storage area should be located away from industrial contamination,
such as fumes or dust.
The storage area and dispensing equipment should be clean and be part of
a regular cleaning schedule.
Labels, stencils, markings on containers and dispensing equipment should
be kept legible to avoid cross-contamination or incorrect application.
Detergent-containing engine oils, hydraulic oils, turbine oils and extreme
pressure (EP) oils should use separate dispensing equipment.
OUTSIDE STORAGE
If outside storage is unavoidable, then the following precautions should be followed:
Ensure that the bungs on drums are screwed in tight.
Store drums horizontally, with bungs below the oil level (i.e. at 3 oclock and
9 oclock). This prevents the seals from drying out and tending to leak. For
the same reason, drums stored upright on pallets should stand upside
down.
Drums stored on their sides should be clear of the ground and preferably
rest on wooden or steel beams. They may be stacked three high if wedged
properly to prevent movement.
Stacking often results in the bottom drums never being used, so the use of a
rack is preferred.
Do not store drums on end with the bungs on top. Rain water collects on the
drum head and is drawn into the oil when the drum breathes during temperature cycles. If drums must be stored this way, they should be tilted first by
standing on edge (say on a 2 x 4 piece of lumber). When oil is drawn from
the drum, the head should be wiped clean first.
Drums preferably should be covered with a tarpaulin to protect them from
the elements.
To minimize contamination and the effects of weathering, time spent in outdoor storage should be kept to a minimum.
Outdoor storage locations should be away from dusty areas such as quarries or unpaved roads. Opening drums in such conditions will contaminate
the contents.
90
INDUSTRIAL LUBRICANTS
HANDLING
Lubricating oils and greases are a relatively harmless class of material. Nevertheless, care should be taken to avoid skin contact and inhalation of oil mists.
Petro-Canada provides Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) on all of its
products and these are available from your Sales Representative or Customer
Service Representative (CSR).
Some general guidelines for handling lubricating oils and greases follow:
Use protective equipment to avoid skin contact.
Quickly remove any product that does get on the skin.
Do not use gasoline, kerosene or similar solvents to remove lubricants from
the skin as they take the natural oils from the skin and cause dryness.
Use only mild soap and warm water or a recommended hand cleaner to
remove lubricating oil and grease from the skin. Dry using clean hand towels.
Wash hands and arms at the end of the working day and before eating.
Remove any contaminated clothing and clean thoroughly before re-use.
Avoid breathing in oil mists.
Clean-up lubricating oil and grease spills immediately and dispose of them
according to environmental guidelines.
Obtain medical advice concerning any potential health problems.
91
INDUSTRIAL LUBRICANTS
transmission oil that has been stored for five (5) years or longer, while it may
still meet its original performance specifications, may not meet the latest
industry requirements.
Industrial and Automotive Gear Oils
These highly additized formulations can occasionally exhibit some long term
instability. Under protected conditions* they should only be stored for three
(3) years. In addition, as automotive gear oil specifications occasionally
change, old product should be checked to ensure its specifications still meet
the latest industry standards and/or equipment requirements.
Neat (Non-Emulsifiable) Metal Working Fluids / Way Lubricants
These formulations are often quite delicately balanced. Hence under
protected conditions* they should only be stored for two (2) years.
Soluable (Emulsifiable) Metal Working Fluids (Cutsol & Cutsol HD)
These products should only be stored for one (1) year.

ACCUFLO TK - MACHINE TOOL LUBRICANT
ACCUFLO TK Oils are specially formulated to lubricate the slideways of
machine tools and maintain smooth, uninterrupted operation. They may be
applied to linear and rotating guideways, table elevating slideways on milling
machines, lead-screw-and-nut systems, feed gears, milling heads and lathe
saddles.
ACCUFLO TK 68 is recommended for horizontal slides and moderately loaded
machine tools, while ACCUFLO TK 220 is recommended for vertical slides or
heavy duty machine tools such as planers and boring mills.
ACCUFLO TK Oils eliminate stick-slip or chatter on machine tables and contain inhibitors to protect ferrous and copper components against corrosion.
Their unique zinc-free formulations provide excellent film strength, lubrication
and machine table accuracy. They are highly tacky to resist removal by synthetic coolants and soluble oils. This cuts the consumption of lubricant and the
generation of tramp oil which, in turn, improves coolant management.
ACCUFLO TK 68 and 220 are GM LS2 approved, meet ISO-L-G standards,
and are approved against Cincinnati Machine standards P-47 and P-50
respectively. ACCUFLO TK 68 is approved for use in Bijur systems and
passes Bijurs filtration test #2107.

METALWORKING OILS
Petro-Canada offers a competitive line of metalworking fluids that cover the
major metalworking operations.
The main functions of a metalworking fluid are to lubricate or reduce friction
between the tool and work piece and to act as a coolant by rapidly removing
heat generated at the tool work-piece interface.
Petro-Canada soluble and neat cutting oils are specially formulated to provide
maximum performance for a wide range of metal removing operations.
Proper lubrication reduces friction, and as a result:
less coolant is required to absorb heat
less cutting energy is required
tool wear is reduced
improved surface finishes are obtained

GREASES
GREASES
INTRODUCTION
Grease may be defined as a solid to semi-solid material produced by the dispersion of a thickening agent in a liquid lubricant. Other ingredients imparting
special properties may be included.
REGULAR GREASE
THICKENER
5 - 20%
+
(Fatty acid, animal fat
plus
Metal Hydroxide calcium,
lithium or aluminum)
LUBRICATING OIL
75 - 95%
ADDITIVES
0 - 15%
COMPLEX GREASE
Complex grease is similar to a regular grease except that the thickener
contains two dissimilar fatty acids, one of which is the complexing agent. This
imparts good high temperature characteristics to the final product.
5
LUBRICATING OIL
The high percentage of oil by weight (75-95%) in a grease requires the oil to
be of high quality and proper viscosity for the intended application. A light
viscosity oil is normally used for low temperature, low load and high speed
applications. Conversely a heavy viscosity oil is generally used for high
temperature, high load and slow speed applications.
ADDITIVES
The most common additives found in grease are as follows:
Oxidation Inhibitors
EP Agents
Anti-Corrosion Agents
Anti-Wear Agents
129
GREASES
GREASE CHARACTERISTICS
The most important factors affecting the properties and characteristics of a
grease are:
Amount and type of thickener
Oil viscosity and physical characteristics
Additives
A grease is expected to:
Reduce friction and wear
Provide corrosion protection
Seal bearings from water and contaminants
Resist leakage, dripping and throw-off
Resist change in structure or consistency during service
Maintain mobility under conditions of application
Be compatible with seals
Tolerate or repel moisture
GREASE DEFINITIONS
Consistency is the degree of hardness of a grease and may vary considerably with temperature. This has been classified by the National Lubricating
Grease Institute (NLGI) into the following categories:

GREASES
GREASE COMPATIBILITY
Occasionally, grease substitution in an application may be necessary to correct problems arising from the original product in service. If the thickeners are
incompatible, the mixture will fall short of the properties of the individual greases.
It is strongly advised that, in all cases, the old grease be purged or cleaned
out from the system before a new one is introduced.
However, compatibility between greases is temperature dependent. As the
temperature rises, the problems associated with incompatibility also increase.
The following chart indicates the compatibilities of major Petro-Canada
greases. With competitors products, it is strongly advised to treat them as
incompatible unless strong evidence exists to the contrary.

GREASES
APPLYING GREASE
The over-packing and over-greasing of bearings accounts for more failures than
any other factor. Excess grease in a bearing cavity increases internal friction, which
in turn raises the bearing temperature above the dropping point of the grease. This
causes oil separation and eventually lack of lubrication. When packing a split
housing pillow block bearing ensure that the grease cavity is only one-third full.
Re-greasing intervals are determined from:
severity of service environment condition of seals shock loading
The following chart provides a guide to re-greasing intervals and the amount
of grease to be applied.

SUPREME GREASES
Supreme Greases are high melting, heavy duty greases containing an
aluminum complex thickener and a high viscosity base oil. They are designed
to deliver outstanding service life and equipment protection over specific
ranges of temperatures and environmental conditions. Unlike many other
greases, they possess the unique property of reverting to their original
consistency after over heating and recooling. The adhesiveness of these
greases is a guarantee that they will stay in place.
Supreme Greases excel when used in bearings subjected to high pressures or
heavy shock loading, where application is frequent and regular, such as in steel
mills.
Supreme Arctic is recommended for centralized greasing systems on heavy
duty off highway and mining equipment, operating in extreme low temperature
conditions. It has excellent EP, antiwear and water resistance properties.
Supreme Lo-Temp EP is recommended for mobile equipment operating in
low ambient conditions and with centralized greasing systems.
Supreme EP 1 is recommended for heavy-duty gear and bearing applications
served by centralized greasing systems or requiring greater grease mobility
than Supreme EP 2.
Supreme EP 2 is recommended for heavy-duty gear and bearing applications
operating at low speed and high temperatures.
Supreme Moly EP 0, EP 1 and EP 2 contain 5% molybdenum disulphide
and are designed to meet Caterpillar lubricant specifications for their 5130
(7TJ & 5ZL), 5230 (7LL) model Mining Excavators and 994 (9YF) model
Wheel Loaders.

GREASE OG
Grease OG products are based on a special type of calcium sulphonate complex thickener, which is most effective in the presence of water. They are
capable of absorbing moderate levels of water without softening or changing
consistency, while still providing outstanding rust protection. These unusual
properties are enhanced by their capabilities as EP multipurpose, high temperature greases. Their white colour makes them ideal where cleanliness and
non-staining properties are at a premium. They are approved by the Canadian
Food Inspection Agency for use in food plant machinery, where there is no
direct food contact.
Grease OG-2 is an NLGI #2 grade with excellent adhesiveness and is
ideally suited for all types of industrial and automotive bearings, for 5th
wheels, forklift mast slides, king pins, and for open gears. Grease OG-2 meets
the NLGI GC-LB standard for wheel bearing and chassis lubrication.
Grease OG-2 PC Red is Grease OG-2, dyed a red colour.
Grease OG-1 is an NLGI #1 grade with lower oil viscosity and thickener
content for ease of pumpability under cooler ambient conditions. Grease OG-1
meets the NLGI GC-LB standard for wheel bearing and chassis lubrication.
Grease OG-0 is an NLGI #0 grade designed for use in low ambient
temperature conditions.

BARIMOL HEAVY
Barimol Heavy is a long-fibred, highly tenacious grease thickened by a barium
complex soap, and fortified with molybdenum disulphide. This grease operates
over a wide temperature range, and has outstanding adhesive and cohesive
properties which enables it to repel water. As this grease contains
molybdenum disulphide, it has enhanced extreme pressure properties, and
protects well against shock loads and vibration.
Barimol Heavy grease is particularly recommended for use on the chassis
and fifth wheels of highway trucks, and for greasing heavy duty off-highway
mobile equipment. It is also highly effective in lubricating mining and quarrying
equipment, particularly jaw crusher bearings.

BENTONE RM2
Bentone RM2 is formulated from a petroleum oil and a clay thickener to produce
a high temperature multi-purpose grease. It has excellent stability and its nondripping characteristics make it suitable for applications where it is essential to
avoid leakage.
Although it will not melt at high temperature, continued exposure will result
in oxidation and vaporization of the mineral oil component. This grease is
recommended for the lubrication of bearings operating continuously at
temperatures up to 150C (300F).
Bentone RM2 grease contains molybdenum disulphide which imparts properties
of extreme pressure and shock load protection.

THERMEX
Thermex grease is a red NLGI #2 grade formulated with a silica gel thickener,
a synthetic oil and an oxidation inhibitor. Thermex grease has excellent shear
stability and has a good service life at temperatures in excess of 260C.
When exposed to high temperatures it neither softens nor melts as conventional
greases do. It does not harden or carbonize at these extreme temperatures
because the fluid component vaporizes slowly, leaving little or no deposit.
Regular greasing intervals replaces the normal evaporation loss. The required
interval varies by application.

WinterGas
During winter months in most parts of Canada, Petro-Canada offers
WinterGas for superior cold weather protection and performance. WinterGas
is specially formulated for winter conditions to allow easier starting in very
cold weather. It also contains a de-icer to minimize the possibility of fuel line
freeze-up due to condensation in vehicle fuel tanks, and, of course, it contains
TACTROL gasoline detergent to keep fuel systems clean.
171
Marine Gasoline
Petro-Canadas Marine Gasoline on the West Coast of Canada is an 89
octane product which should meet the needs of most marine applications. It is
generally dyed red.
DIESEL FUELS
All of Petro-Canadas regular diesel fuels are seasonally adjusted
designed with suitable low temperature properties for different geographic
areas to reduce the risk of waxing or gelling, under most normal low winter
temperatures. Seasonal adjustment, usually monthly, also maximizes fuel
density to maximize fuel economy.
All diesel fuel sold for on-road use is low sulphur diesel fuel less than
500 parts per million (ppm) sulphur, to minimize diesel engine emissions and
comply with federal environmental regulations. Most off-road diesel fuel that
Petro-Canada sells in Western Canada is also low sulphur, while most off-road
diesel fuel in Central and Eastern Canada is regular sulphur fuel.
All Petro-Canada diesel fuels have suitable lubricity for both new and older
diesel engines. Lubricity is the ability of a diesel fuel to lubricate fuel-wetted
parts of fuel pumps and fuel injectors to minimize wear. Heavier summer
diesel fuels, whether regular or low sulphur, have good natural lubricity. Some
lighter winter diesel fuels are treated with lubricity additive to ensure that they
have adequate lubricity to protect equipment from undue wear.
Petro-Pass is Petro-Canadas chain of truck stops, offering diesel fuel, other
fuels, supplies and facilities for truckers across Canada. SuperPass is PetroCanadas commercial credit card, fuel and information management system,
and may be used across Canada and at many locations in the United States.
More information is available at Petro Canadas internet web site:
www.petro-canada.ca
Petro-Canada also offer specialty diesel fuels at selected locations across
Canada, such as No. 1 Low Sulphur Diesel for urban buses, underground
mines and low temperature applications, and Diesel 50 for very cold applications (down to -40C) in northern and arctic locations.
AVIATION FUELS
Jet A-1, turbine fuel used in most commercial jets, is produced at all three
Petro-Canada refineries. Most product is shipped by pipeline directly to major
local airports. Jet A-1, a kerosene-type fuel, is available by truck and rail at
Edmonton Refinery.
Jet B and Jet F-40 are produced at Edmonton Refinery: Jet B is used by
helicopters and aircraft in the north (because of its ease of engine starting,
172
especially in cold weather), and Jet F-40 is currently used by the Canadian
military. Jet B is a gasoline-like fuel, composed mostly of naphtha. Jet B-DI,
available in truck load quantities and drummed, is Jet B with de-icer, or fuel
system icing inhibitor.
Aviation Gasoline 100LL is also produced at Edmonton Refinery, and is
available in truckload quantities and drums. This product is a high octane,
leaded fuel designed for high compression ratio piston aero engines. Many
multiple-engine planes require this fuel.
ALTERNATIVE FUELS
Propane (automotive, HD-5 quality) is sold at many Petro-Canada service
stations.
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) / Natural Gas for Vehicles (NGV) is sold
at selected service stations in the Vancouver area. Petro-Canada is a major
Canadian producer of natural gas, and sells significant volumes of natural
gas into the bulk wholesale market.
Gasohol, or gasoline with 5 to 10% ethyl alcohol, is sold at selected bulk
plant sites in south-western Ontario. SuperClean 94 in Montreal contains ethyl
alcohol, and Petro-Canada has plans to offer gasohol in parts of Quebec.
Pumps will be clearly labelled if the gasoline contains ethyl alcohol.
SPECIALTY PRODUCTS
Most of the specialty products that Petro-Canada produces are sold in commercial quantities by pipeline shipment, rail car or truck loads. Petro-Canada
does not offer many of these specialty products such as kerosene or Petrosol
3139 in retail package sizes, but sells to other companies that package and
distribute these products.
Kerosene 1-K is produced in Edmonton and Montreal. The 1-K grade is a
very low sulphur, low odour product designed for use in kerosene heaters and
lamps.
Petrosol 3139 Hydrocarbon Solvent, produced in Edmonton and Montreal,
is used as a paint thinner, solvent and degreaser. It has a flash point above
38C for safe handling, a boiling range from 150 to 210C, and typically
18-20% aromatics. Montreal Refinery also produces other solvents such as
Petrosol 3135 and 3355 for specialty applications.
Petrochemicals: Montreal Refinery produces benzene, toluene, xylene, and
nonenes for the petrochemical industry.
Other specialty products may be produced at some refineries, and these
products are usually of limited or special commercial interest:
Sulphur, a basic industrial chemical, is produced at natural gas plants in
Western Canada and at Oakville Refinery.
Coke, black carbon looking like lava rock, is used to make carbon electrodes
for smelting bauxite to make aluminum.
Carbon black feedstock is a heavy, black aromatic oil used to make carbon
black (finely powered carbon) for use in tire manufacture.
173
ASPHALT
Petro-Canada is a major producer and marketer of asphalt to the transportation and road building industry, to the manufacturers of asphalt shingles and
roofing products, and for the construction of built-up roofing.
Asphalt is produced at 2 of our refineries in Eastern Canada (Montreal and
Oakville) and at our Mississauga Asphalt Plant. Asphalt is sold in tanker
truckload quantities at these 3 facilities and from 6 other asphalt terminal
locations. Built-up roofing asphalt is available in tanker truck quantities and in
solid packages.
Petro-Canada manufactures 11 performance grades (PG-grades) of Asphalt
Cement to satisfy the requirements of the Ministry of Transportation of
Ontario, Quebec Ministry of Transportation, The Maritimes, Newfoundland,
New York State DOT, Vermont DOT, New Hampshire DOT, and Maine DOT for
the construction of asphalt pavements. Petro-Canada also manufactures 10

ANTI-FOAM AGENT (see FOAM INHIBITOR)
ANTI-WEAR AGENT An additive that minimizes wear caused by metal-tometal contact during conditions of mild boundary lubrication (e.g. stops and
starts, oscillating motion). The additive reacts chemically with, and forms a film

ANTI-OXIDANT (see OXIDATION INHIBITOR)
API (American Petroleum Institute) society organized to further the interests of the petroleum industry. In this capacity, it serves to clear information,
conduct research, improve marketing conditions, etc. One of the Institutes
activities has been the development of the API SERVICE CLASSIFICATIONS
for crankcase oils, and rules for Base Oil Interchange, which give rise to Base
Oil Groups I-V.
ASH CONTENT non-combustible residue of a lubricating oil (also fuels)
determined in accordance with ASTM D582 also D874 (sulphated ash).
Since some detergents are metallic salts or compounds, the percentage of
ash has been considered to have a relationship to detergency. Interpretations
can be grossly distorted, however, for the following reasons: 1. Detergency
depends on the properties of the base oil as well as on the additive. Some
combinations of base oil and additive are much more effective than others.
2. Detergents vary considerably in their potency, and some leave more ash
than others. Organic detergents have been developed, in fact, that leave no
ash at all. 3. Some of the ash may be contributed by additives other than
detergents. 4. There appears to be a limit to the effective concentration of
detergent. Nothing is gained by exceeding this limit, and a superabundance of
detergent may actually reduce cleanliness.
ASLE (American Society of Lubrication Engineers) the former name of an
organization involved with friction, wear, and lubrication, which is now known
as the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE).
ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) organization devoted
to the promotion of knowledge of the materials of engineering, and the
standardization of specifications and methods of testing. In North America, a

pumped readily near the pour point. ASTM D97 is used to determine pour
point. ASTM D97 also provides for the determination of CLOUD POINT, the
lowest temperature at which the sample becomes clouded by the formation of
wax crystals. Clouding is a characteristic only of paraffinic oils. It is a consideration in the evaluation of fuels whose filtration might be impaired by the plugging effect of wax crystals.
RUST INHIBITOR a lubricant additive for protecting ferrous (iron and steel)
components from rusting caused by water contamination or other harmful
materials from oil degradation. Some rust inhibitors operate similarly to corrosion inhibitors by reacting chemically to form an inert film on metal surfaces.
Other rust inhibitors absorb water by incorporating it into water-in-oil emulsion
so that only the oil touches the metal surfaces.
SCUFFING engine wear resulting from the localized welding and fracture of
rubbing surfaces.
SOLVENT EXTRACTION a traditional refinery process that is used to
upgrade chemical and physical properties in the manufacture of lube oil
basestocks. The process relies on the solubility of impurities (especially
aromatic components that may also contain sulphur and nitrogen) in an
extractive solvent, usually furfural or phenol. The by-product of this process is
highly aromatic EXTRACT, used to make EXTENDER oils, and as feed for
other refinery processes.
STLE (Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers) formerly known
as ASLE.
SULPHATED ASH (see ASH)
SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTS - lubricants manufactured by a process, where a
chemical conversion or transformation of one complex mixture of molecules into
another complex mixture takes place. A simple purification or physical separation process, such as distillation or freezing, does not constitute a synthesis.
Common types of synthetic base oil include:
Polyalpha olefins
Hydrocracked/HydroIsomerized Unconventional Base Oils (UCBOs)
Organic esters
Polyglycols
Synthetic lubricants can exhibit one or more of the following advantages over
conventional mineral oils:
Excellent low temperature fluidity
Low pour point
High natural viscosity index
Outstanding oxidation stability
High flash and auto-ignition points
Low volatility
Non-toxic
Synthetic lubricants have been used for some time in applications such as jet
engine lubricants, arctic lubricants and fire resistant hydraulic fluids. They are
now starting to replace conventional mineral oils in a number of applications,
where one or more of the above properties are required. Despite their higher
price, synthetics offer operating advantages that can make them more
economical in the long run. For example - reduced oil consumption, longer oil
life, improved fuel economy and easier starting at low temperatures.

TIMKEN OK LOAD measure of the extreme pressure properties of a lubricant. Lubricated by the product under investigation, a standard steel roller
rotates against a block. Timken OK load is the heaviest load that can be carried without scoring.
TOTAL BASE NUMBER (see NEUT NUMBER)
VISCOSITY measure of a fluids resistance to flow. It is ordinarily expressed
in terms of the time required for a standard quantity of the fluid at a certain
temperature to flow through a standard orifice. The higher the value, the more
viscous the fluid. Since viscosity varies inversely with temperature, its value is
meaningless unless accompanied by the temperature at which it is determined.
With petroleum oils, viscosity is now commonly reported in CENTISTOKES
(cSt), measured at either 40C or 100C (ASTM Method D445 Kinematic
Viscosity). An earlier method for reporting viscosity in North America was in
Saybolt Seconds Universal SSU or SUS or, for very viscous oils, in Saybolt
Seconds Furol SSF (ASTM Method D88). Other less common viscosity units
are the ENGLER and REDWOOD scales, principally used in Europe. (See
also BROOKFIELD VISCOSITY, POISE.)
VISCOSITY INDEX (V.l.) an indicator of the rate of change of viscosity with
temperature. This change is common to all non-reactive fluids some more,
some less. Heating tends to make them thinner cooling, thicker. The higher
the V.l., the less the tendency for the viscosity to change. V.l. is determined by
formula from the viscosities at 40C and 100C in accordance with the ASTM
Test Method D567 or D2270. The latter test is required for V.l.s above 100.
High V.l. oils are often preferred for service in which a relatively constant
viscosity is desired under conditions of varying temperature. Some hydraulic
systems require this property. Paraffinic oils are inherently high in V.l., and the
V.l. of any petroleum oil can be increased by the addition of a V.l. improver.
Naphthenic oils are inherently low in V.l. and aromatic oils are still lower
often having negative numbers.
VOLATILITY that property of a liquid that defines its evaporation
characteristics. Of two liquids, the more volatile will boil at a lower
temperature, and it will evaporate faster when both liquids are at the same
temperature. The volatility of petroleum products can be evaluated by tests
for FLASH POINT, VAPOUR PRESSURE, DISTILLATION, and
EVAPORATION RATE.

TO USE:
Place straight edge at equal centistoke values on both
Kinematic scales.
All viscosities on each scale will be equivalent for the
same temperature.
To extend scale ranges to higher viscosities utilize powers of
10 in these scales between the 100 and 1000 divisions on
the Kinematic scale,
i.e. 3000 centistokes = 300 cSt x 10
and is approximately equivalent to
1400 x 10 = 14000 SUS.
