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 Viscosity @ 40 or 100oC • BRIGHT STOCK IS HEAVY LUBE PRODUCED FROM RESIDUE • Name Refers to Appearance and Typical Viscosity is 2,500 SSU @ 100oF • 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 <90% >0.03% 80-119 Solvent Processing II >90% <0.03% 80-119 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 20 cSt @ 100oC for Neutrals up to 32 cSt for Bright Stock • Brookfield Measures Low Temperature Fluidity on Finished Oils @ -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 20-35 wt%) • GCD Volatility Measures Front End of Boiling Curve (e.g 10% @375oC) • 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
