A crankcase engine lubricant which comprises the add mixture of the following components: (A) a lubricating oil which comprises the add mixture of the following components: a complex alcohol ester basestock and at least one additional basestock; and (B) an additive package; wherein the crankcase engine lubricant exhibits a percent fuel economy improvement in the range between about 0.3 to 5.0%, versus the lubricating oil without the complex alcohol ester basestock.

Engine oil lubricants formed from complex alcohol esters

A complex alcohol ester which comprises the reaction product of an add mixture of the following: a polyhydroxyl compound represented by the general formula:

High viscosity complex alcohol esters

A synthetic ester composition which exhibits thermal and oxidative stability, lower friction coefficient and lower wear, wherein the ester composition comprises the reaction product of: a linear or branched alcohol having the general formula R(OH).sub.n, wherein R is an aliphatic or cyclo-aliphatic group having from about 2 to 20 carbon atoms and n is at least 2; and at least one linear and/or branched acid which has a carbon number in the range between about C.sub.4 to C.sub.20, wherein the synthetic ester composition has a hydroxyl number of between about greater than 5 to 180, preferably between about greater than 5 to 100, and more preferably between about 10 to 80.

Polyol ester compositions with unconverted hydroxyl groups for use as

There are disclosed refrigeration working fluid compositions comprising R125 (pentafluoroethane) or R152a (1,1-difluoroethane) refrigerants and certain polyol esters of C.sub.7 to C.sub.10 branched alkanoic acids or mixtures of such branched acids with linear C.sub.7 to C.sub.10 monoalkanoic acids. The polyols are neopentylglycol, technical grade pentaerythritol and trimethylolpropane; the esters exhibit suitable viscosity ranges and miscibility with refrigerants over a broad compositional range. The acids have a defined average effective carbon chain length in order to be miscible with the refrigerants over the range of 5 to 55 wt. % ester lubricant.

Refrigeration working fluid compositions containing difluoroethane or

There are disclosed refrigeration working fluid compositions comprising 1,1,1-trifluoroethane refrigerant and either a neopentylglycol ester of 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic acid or a trimethylolpropane ester of a mixture of 65 wt. % 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic acid, 22.2 wt. % n-heptanoic acid and 12.8 wt. % methylhexanoic acid. The esters exhibit suitable viscosity ranges and miscibility with the refrigerant over a broad compositional range.
