The lubricating oil is usually influenced by the prevailing temper- 2. It is worth mentioning that the friction coefficient of Oil 2 is in
atures at the surfaces of the engine component. In internal combus-
tion engines, automotive crankcase oils experience a wide variety of
hot-spot temperatures, ranging from 90 °C at the connecting rod and
cylinder head, to 426 °C at the piston crown under normal operating
conditions [27]. Generally, the ideal lubrication condition for a real
engine oil is hydrodynamic lubrication, which requires a high oil
viscosity, and the normal engine oil temperature is limited lower
to 100 °C. However, oil acidity of the commercial oils is rapid
increased as temperatures above 140 °C [28].
In this paper, the temperature of high-temperature tribological
test is suggested at 120 °C, the reason is that a higher oil tempera-
ture is not allowed for the car engine. Furthermore, the decomposi-
tion temperature of metal detergent is over 300 °C (obtained by
thermogravimetric tests), which means that these metal detergent
can work well at temperatures above 120 °C.

of the base oil containing MoDTC is 0.40 mm and that of the oil
containing T106 obtained the lowest value of 0.33 mm. Such an

Generally, the lubricating oil viscosity decreases with increasing film rapidly [36]; this film prevents the direct contact between the
temperature, which induces a decrease in the thickness and stiffness friction surfaces and leads to a lubrication and an anti-wear perfor-
of the oil film. Thus, the lubrication condition shifts to a boundary mance. T106 and T109 have a higher content of calcium, and their

should lead to a greatly higher friction coefficient [37]. Meanwhile declined with temperature increases.
Figure 10(b) shows the wear volume of the test ball lubricated by
the oil containing three detergents using the SRV tribometer. When
(a) the detergent is T104, the wear volume is 6.2% of that of Oil 4. For
T106 and T109, the wear volume of the test balls becomes lower
than that of Oil 4 and Oil 6. The results indicate the anti-wear per-
formance of the oil is improved when containing T106. Further-
more, the results suggest that with the base oil containing
MoDTC and T106 used as a lubricant, the dominating anti-wear
mechanism would be the depositing of CaCO3 and MoS2 film on
the worn surface.
The WSD with the content of the additives in the base oil under
196 N using the four-ball test is illustrated in Fig. 11. It can be
observed that the MoDTC can significantly reduce the wear scar
diameter of the test ball, for example, the wear scar diameter
decreases from 0.55 mm to 0.40 mm by adding 0.25% MoDTC.
The anti-wear performance is improved further as the additive
content increases, and the wear scar diameter decreases to
(b) 0.35 mm as the MoDTC content increases to 0.75%. Another inter-
esting effect is that the WSD value of the test balls is dramatically
reduced by the combination of MoDTC and detergent. When T104
and T109 are added into Oil 4, WSD values reduce to 0.30 mm and
0.29 mm. When T106 is added into Oil 4, the WSD obtains the
lowest value of 0.25 mm, 54% lower than that of the base oil,
which confirms the high-based synthetic calcium sulfonate (T106)
exhibits a good load carrying capacity. Thus, the detergent combi-
nation with MoDTC has a superior anti-wear performance, mainly
because the calcium carbonate and calcium oxide in the detergent
can form a protect film on the surface [38,39], and the thickness
of the protection film is influenced by the total base number; the
protection film has a better anti-wear performance when the oil con-
tains a detergent with a higher base number [40].
