49 Factors Affecting Lubricant Degradation in the Piston Assembly of Gasoline Engines (Abstract for STLE 2006: Calgary 7th- 11th May 2006) Moray S. Stark*, John R. Lindsay Smith, Julian J. Wilkinson Department of Chemistry, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK Peter M. Lee, Martin Priest School of Mechanical Engineering, University of Leeds, Leeds, LS2 9JT, UK R. Ian Taylor Shell Global Solutions, Shell Research Ltd, PO Box 1, Chester, CH1 3SH, UK Chris Booth and Simon Chung Infineum UK Limited, PO Box 1, Milton Hill, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, OX13 6BB, UK Lubricant extracted from the piston assembly of a gasoline engine has been chemically analysed to determine the level of degradation and the level and type of volatile carbon containing species. Using FIMS, the oil samples contain a noticeable amounts of volatile hydrocarbons, with molecular masses ranging from the fuel-sized to lubricant-sized molecules, and GC-MS reveals that they are alkyl benzenes and alkyl polyaromatic hydrocarbons; species of interest because they are both reactive and toxic. The effect of these species on the viscosity of the lubricant and the mechanism of their formation are discussed. One factor that controls the oil drain intervals of automotive engines is how fast it flows through the piston assembly, where it is subjected to high temperatures and corrosive blow-by gases, and returns degraded to the sump. Building on previous work, this flow rate has been measured, and its dependence on engine load and speed established. * Biography for Presenting Author The presenting author has a BSc and PhD in Physics, but has been working as a Chemist for longer than he can remember. The past few years have been spent specialising in the study of the oxidation mechanisms of hydrocarbon and ester lubricant base fluids and the effects that oxidation has on the rheology of lubricants.
