Petro-Canada We Make Tough Lubricants

Lubrication Fundamentals & Base Oils Training Module

Importance of Lubrication

Key Lubricant Properties

“ Rule of Thumb” Every 10°C rise in temperature over 80°C decreases the life of the oil by about half. Lubricant Properties: Oxidation Resistance Oxidation Rate increases with Temperature E.g. Oil Life of Premium R & O: Temperature °C Hours Days 80 10000 416 90 5000 208 100 2500 104 110 1250 52 120 625 26 130 313 13

Base Oil Refining A Simple introduction

Origin of Lubricants - Distillation of Crude - Creation of Base Stocks

API Base Stock Groups -Base Oil Quality

Purity (% saturate level) 80 90 100 Viscosity Index 90 100 110 120 130 Group II (Hydroprocessed) Group I (Solvent Refined) Group III (Hydroprocessed) Petro-Canada Group II & VHVI Group III Group IV (PAO) Base Oil Quality

Advanced Mineral Base Oils Intensity of Processing Group I (Solvent Refining) Group II (Hydrogenation) Group III (wax conversion) Increased Performance Group II+ (Hydrogenation)

Lubricants World Product of the Year

Oxidative stability is a key measure of a hydraulic fluid’s ability to retain the protective properties it had as “fresh oil” HYDREX resists oxidative attack better than the leading competitor Better Than Conventional Hydraulic Oil TOTAL WEAR PROTECTION *
