BASE OIL TERMINOLOGY LUBES ARE HIGH VALUE PRODUCTS WITH BROAD VARIETY OF USES – Automotive: Engine oils, Automatic Transmission Fluids (ATF) – Industrial: Turbine oils, Hydraulic oils, Industrial Gear oils, Compressor oils, Refrigeration oils, Machine oils, Electrical oils, Drilling Fluids etc – Medicinal: Food Grade oils, White oils,.. REFINERIES PRODUCE BASE OILS OR BASE STOCKS – Finished Products are Blends of Base stock with(out) Additives BASE STOCKS ARE CALLED BY VARIOUS NAMES: – Neutrals (100N, 150N, 600N,...) Bright Stocks – Grades (SAE 5, 10, 30,..; ISO 22, 32,...) MOST COMMON LUBE NAME IS NEUTRAL – Number is the 40 or 100oC BRIGHT STOCK IS HEAVY LUBE PRODUCED FROM RESIDUE – Name Refers to Appearance and Typical Viscosity is 2, oF GRADE NAMES MAY REFER TO VISCOSITY OR TO TRADEMARKS
BASESTOCK PROPERTIES AND DEFINITIONS BASE STOCK COMPOSITION DETERMINES PERFORMANCE OF FINISHED PRODUCTS –Viscosity Index or VI Higher VI improves Volatility, Fuel Economy, and Operating Range –Saturate Content Higher Saturates improves Oxidation Stability and Soot Handling –Wax Content Lower Wax Improves Operating Range Lower Wax improves Low Temperature Performance – Pour Point – Cloud Point AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE (API) BASESTOCK CATEGORIES API Group Sats Sulfur VI TYPICAL MFG PROCESS I 0.03% Solvent Processing II>90% <0.03% HYDROPROCESSING III >90% <0.03% 120+ WAX ISOME, H/C, GTL IV N.A.

KEY LUBE OIL PROPERTIES VISCOSITY (MEASURE OF FLUIDITY) –Range from ~ 4 to oC for Neutrals up to 32 cSt for Bright Stock –Brookfield Measures Low Temperature Fluidity on Finished -40oC VISCOSITY INDEX (INVERSE MEASURE OF CHANGE OF VISCOSITY WITH TEMPERATURE) –Ranges from ~85 to ~105 for most Base stocks, Higher for Speciality Grades –(ex: Exxsyn ~140, PAO ~150, XHVI~140+, Ultra S ~ 125) POUR POINT (TEMPERATURE AT WHICH FLUID BECOMES NEARLY SOLID) –Typically from -9 to -24oC –Cloud Point is Temperature at Which Wax Crystals Appear VOLATILITY (MEASURE OF OIL LOSS DUE TO EVAPORATION) –Noack Volatility Measures Actual Evaporation (Typically wt%) –GCD Volatility Measures Front End of Boiling Curve (e.g COLOR (APPEARANCE) AND STABILITY (MEASURE OF COLOR CHANGE IN LIGHT) CONRADSON Carbon (MEASURE OF CARBON RESIDUE LEFT ON IGNITION) SATURATES, AROMATICS and ASPHALTENE CONTENTS

WHY USE A GREASE? A GREASE OFFERS UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS WHICH MAKES IT PARTICULARLY USEFUL IN MACHINE ELEMENTS STAY WHERE IT IS PUT ALLOWS UNATTENDED SERVICE FOR LONG PERIODS (SEALED FOR LIFE) REQUIRES LESS FREQUENT APPLICATION FOR AREAS OF POOR ACCESSIBILITY SEALS OUT CONTAMINANTS OPERATE OVER A WIDE TEMPERATURE RANGE SOLID ADDITIVES CAN BE USED WITHOUT CONCERN OF SETTLING OUT LOW LEAKAGE MEANS THEY ARE EFFECTIVE IN WARM EQUIPMENT
