Popis: Organomolybdenum compounds are versatile lubricant additives of interest in the design of engine oils to meet the new ILSAC (International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee) GF-3 performance standard, especially for fuel efficiency. In this work, organomolybdenum and 13 other components were studied by experimental design and statistical analysis to determine their effects on friction, wear, and oxidation properties. The resulting linear model was used to construct a trial engine oil formulation. Engine test results, including some new tests required for ILSAC GF-3, confirmed some of the strengths of organomolybdenum compounds, as well as their sensitivity to other additives in the formulation.
