Title: Jacob W. Goodale and Diesel Engine Lubricant Innovation.

Introduction

Jacob W. Goodale is an inventor associated with Austin, Texas, and Infineum International Limited. His patent work addresses the formulation of diesel engine lubricants designed to balance wear protection, soot dispersancy, and emissions-related performance.

Latest Patents

Goodale is named on one patent: “Lubricating Oil Compositions with Improved Wear Performance and Soot Dispersancy.” The invention describes a diesel engine lubricating oil composition combining base oil, a functionalized polymer, overbased magnesium- and calcium-based detergents, and one or more higher- and lower-molecular-weight PIBSA-PAM dispersants, which may be borated.

The composition is specified to have sulfated ash of no more than 1.0 wt.%, kinematic viscosity at 100°C of 5 to 20 cSt, phosphorus of no more than 0.120 wt.%, and sulfur of no more than 0.4 wt.%. It is also designed to achieve a Cummins ISM oil filter delta pressure test result below 30 kPa at 150 hours. The patent further describes methods for making and using the composition, improving diesel engine wear performance and soot dispersancy, reducing emissions, and preparing a diesel engine oil additive concentrate.

Career Highlights

Goodale’s listed patent reflects work on lubricant chemistry and performance requirements for diesel engines. Its formulation brings together detergents, dispersants, and a functionalized polymer while specifying limits for key lubricant properties.
