Olefin oligomers are used widely as automotive lubricants. They often are combiaed with some of the organic esters as base fluids ia engine oils, gear oils, and hydrauHc fluids, eg, for equipment intended for operation ia extremely cold climates, and for premium oils, eg, for the service station market ia temperate climates. 

Alkylated aromatics are used as the base fluid ia engine oils, gear oils, hydrauHc fluids, and greases ia sub2ero appHcations. They also are used as the base fluid ia power transmission fluids and gas turbine, air compressor, and refrigeration compressor lubricants. 

Miscellaneous Commercial Applications. Dimer acids are components of "downweU" corrosion inhibitors for oil-drilling equipment (see Petroleum Corrosion and corrosion inhibitors). This may account for 10% of current dimer acid use (71). The acids, alkyl esters, and polyoxyalkylene dimer esters are used commercially as components of metal-working lubricants (see Lubrication). Dimer esters have achieved some use in specialty lubricant appHcations such as gear oils and compressor lubricants. The dimer esters, compared to dibasic acid esters, polyol esters and poly(a-olefin)s, are higher in cost and of higher viscosity. The higher viscosity, however, is an advantage in some specialties, and the dimer esters are very stable thermally and can be made quite oxidatively stable by choice of proper additives. 

Although not widely used for gears, oil-mist lubrication is nevertheless worth mentioning here. It is a total loss technique in which the oil is supplied in the form of fine droplets carried by compressed air. Two virtues are that the lubricant can be carried long distances through pipes without severe frictional losses, and that no oil pumps are needed since the motive power is provided by factory compressed-air lines. However, unless such systems are totally enclosed, the exhaust can create a build-up of oil-mist in the atmosphere. In order to maintain good standards of industrial hygiene, it is recommended that... 

Machine-tool gears can be lubricated by oil-spray, mist, splash or cascade. Sealed oil baths are commonly used, or the gears may be lubricated by part of a larger circulatory system. 

Elliptical Oil lubricated, gear and turbine applications, stiffer and somewhat more stable bearing.

Industrial oils lubricants, e.g., hydraulic oils, motor gear oils, transmission fluids and metalworking fluids. 

Channeling A term used to describe lubricants, especially gear oils, which fail to readily flow back together when a machine component passes through a volume of cold oil. When channeling occurs, an oil is unable to flow and lubricate.
