Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of preventing or reducing the occurrence of Low Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI) in a direct-injected, boosted, spark-ignited internal combustion engine that, in operation, generates a break mean effective pressure level of greater than about 15 bar, at an engine speed of from about 1500 to about 2500 rotations per minute (rpm), in which the crankcase of the engine is lubricated with a lubricating oil composition containing at least about 0.2 mass % of magnesium sulfated ash.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of preventing or reducing the occurrence of Low Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI) in a direct-injected, boosted, spark-ignited internal combustion engine that, in operation, generates a break mean effective pressure level of greater than about 15 bar, at an engine speed of from about 1500 to about 2500 rotations per minute (rpm) that is susceptible to the occurrence of LSPI, which method comprises the step of lubricating the crankcase of the engine with a lubricating oil composition having a total sulfated ash content of no greater than about 1.2 mass %, based on the total mass of the composition, said composition comprising an amount of a zinc-phosphorus compound providing said composition with a phosphorus content of from about 0.05 to about 0.08 mass %, based on the total mass of the composition, a magnesium detergent in an amount providing said composition with at least about 0.3 mass %, based on the total mass of the lubricating oil composition, of magnesium sulfated ash, and an amount of calcium detergent, or calcium and sodium detergent, providing said composition with from about 0.3 to about 0.4 mass %, based on the total mass of the lubricating oil composition, of calcium sulfated ash, or calcium and sodium sulfated ash, wherein the total amount of sulfated ash provided to said composition from detergent is no greater than 1.0 mass %, based on the total mass of the lubricating oil composition: and at least 40 mass % of the total amount of metal introduced into said lubricating oil composition by metal detergent is magnesium, and wherein said zinc phosphorus compound is zinc dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphate derived from secondary alcohol, or primary and secondary alcohol. 2. A method, as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said engine generates a break mean effective pressure level of greater than about 20 bar, at an engine speed of from about 1500 to about 2500 (rpm). 3. A method, as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said engine generates a break mean effective pressure level of greater than about 15 bar, at an engine speed of from about 1500 to about 2000. 4. A method, as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said lubricating oil composition further contains said zinc phosphorus compound in an amount introducing from about 700 to about 800 ppm of phosphorus. 5. A method, as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said lubricating oil composition further contains at least 50 ppm of molybdenum, based on the total mass of the lubricating oil composition. 6. A method, as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said lubricating oil composition further comprises a borated dispersant.
