HT PURITY PROCESS
Starting from petroleum crude oil, the typical process for making a lubricant
base oil is as follows:
• Separation of lighter boiling materials, such as gasoline, diesel, etc.
• Distillation to give desired base oil viscosity grades
• Selective removal of impurities, such as aromatics and polar compounds
• Dewaxing to improve low temperature fluidity
• Finishing to improve oxidation resistance and heat stability
Generally both Solvent Refined and Hydrocracked base oils are manufactured
this way, but differ in the processes used.
Group II and III base oils are manufactured by what the API calls Hydro-
processing or Severe Hydroprocessing. These are just other names for
Petro-Canada’s Patented HT Purity Process. With Sulphur contents of less
than 0.03 wt % and Saturates contents of more than 90 wt %, they are more
pure than Group I base oils.
19
Handbook Canadian 7/25/05 2:24 PM Page 20
HT PURITY PROCESS
Initially, light oils such as gasoline, diesel, etc., are separated from crude
2 petroleum by atmospheric distillation. The resulting material is charged to a
vacuum distillation tower, where lubricant fractions of specific viscosity ranges
are taken off. These fractions are then treated individually in a solvent
extraction tower. A solvent such as furfural is mixed with them and extracts
about 70-85% of the aromatic material present. The solvent extracted lube
fraction is then dewaxed by chilling to a low temperature, which removes much
of the wax. This improves the low temperature fluidity of the product. Finally,
the dewaxed lube fractions are sometimes finished to improve their colour and
stability, depending on the application requirements. One common method of
finishing is mild hydrofinishing. This step should not be confused with
Petro-Canada’s Patented HT Purity Process, as conditions of
temperature and pressure in hydrofinishing are mild and less effective. The
API classifies the products of Solvent Refining as Group I base oils.

• BASE OILS

There are significant differences in certain characteristics between HT
Severely Hydrocracked and Solvent Refined base oils. The main reason for
the difference lies in the virtual elimination of aromatic molecules (less than
0.5%) in our HT Purity Process. HT Severely Hydrocracked base oils are
termed “99.5+% Pure”. In comparison, the aromatics content of Solvent
Refined oils is somewhere between 10-30% so Solvent Refined base oils are
considerably less pure.

• VISCOSITY STABILITY
• OXIDATION RESISTANCE
• THERMAL STABILITY
Petro-Canada HT Severely Hydrocracked base oils have very low toxicity and
biodegrade faster than Solvent Refined lubricants of comparable viscosity, due
to a virtual absence of impurities. When carefully formulated with selected
additives, these features are preserved in finished lubricants. Applications
where these features may be found include:- Petro-Canada PURITY FG Food
Grade Lubricants, Environ MV Hydraulic Oil, Paraflex HT Fluids, Sepro* XL,
etc.

HT PURITY PROCESS
Petro-Canada Lubricants earned the distinction of being the first lubricants manufac-
turer in North America to be ISO 9001 registered. To be registered, the ISO 9001
process requires a thorough inspection of a company’s production and control sys-
tems by an independent registrar. Stringent audits are conducted to ensure detailed
procedures are rigidly adhered to and all products are manufactured consistently in
accordance with established standards. Following registration, twice yearly audits
are conducted by the registrar to ensure ongoing compliance and improvement.
In October 2002, Petro-Canada Lubricants opened the door to the global market by
being the first lubricants manufacturer in the world to be registered to ISO/TS 16949.
This new global standard, which replaces QS9000, is designed for third party suppli-
ers to the automotive companies. This strongly demonstrates Petro-Canada’s ability
to continuously improve our quality system. ISO/TS 16949 was jointly developed by
ISO and the IATF (International Automobile Task Force) and contains all require-
ments of ISO 9001 and additional automotive requirements.
ISO 14001
ISO 14001 is an internationally recognized approach to Environmental Management.
It is a disciplined approach to identification, prioritization, and management of envi-
ronmental impacts resulting from business operations, and as member of the ISO
family of International Standards, provides a consistent set of operating guidelines.
ISO 14001 differs fundamentally from ISO/TS 16949 and ISO 9001. While
these programs provide guidelines to address customer needs and expecta-
tions in terms of quality of product/service, ISO 14001 focuses on the protec-
tion of people and natural environment. It is more rigorous than the environ-
mental elements prescribed in Petro-Canada’s TLM Standard.
Petro-Canada Lubricants has chosen ISO 14001 as the foundation for its
Environmental Management System due to its wide recognition and global
acceptance. ISO 14001 principles are in line with Petro-Canada’s internal
Total Loss Management philosophy.

The effect of temperature on viscosity varies widely with different types of oil.
For this reason, a standard has been developed for measuring the amount of
viscosity change with temperature change. This standard is called the Viscosity
Index (V.l.). An oil with a high viscosity index is one that shows less change in
viscosity over a wide range of temperatures. Today, through the use of new
refining methods and special chemical additives, there are many high viscosity
index engine oils that are light enough for easy cranking at low temperatures
and still be heavy enough to perform satisfactorily at high temperatures.
These oils with high viscosity indexes are known as “multi-grade” oils. Often
they are also called by names that imply all-season usage since they perform
3 satisfactorily in both winter and summer. Multi-grade, as well as single-grade,
oils are recommended by vehicle manufacturers.
28
Handbook Canadian 7/25/05 2:24 PM Page 29
AUTOMOTIVE LUBRICANTS
Reduce Friction
Under full-film lubrication conditions, a thick film of oil prevents metal-to-metal
contact between moving engine parts. Relative movement of these lubricated
parts requires enough force to overcome the fluid friction of the lubricant. The
viscosity of the oil should be high enough to maintain an unbroken film, but
should not be higher than necessary, since this increases the amount of force
required to overcome this fluid friction.
Car manufacturers specify proper oil viscosity ranges according to expected
atmospheric temperatures. This is to ensure that the lubricant will provide ade-
quate, but not excessive, viscosity at normal operating conditions. When oil
becomes contaminated, its viscosity changes. With soot, dirt, oxidation, or 3
sludge, viscosity increases; with fuel dilution it decreases. Both directions of
viscosity change are potentially harmful to the engine. For this reason, con-
taminant levels in motor oil must be kept low. This can be best accomplished
by changing the oil and filter at proper intervals.
The amount and type of chemical additives become more important than vis-
cosity to the effectiveness of a motor oil in reducing friction under the extreme
pressure conditions of boundary lubrication. The proper balance of the total
additive system in a modern motor oil is critical if all lubrication conditions of
an engine are to be satisfied. The oil formulator can achieve this balance of
motor oil compounding only through much research, with emphasis on proof-
testing in actual engines, both in the laboratory and in field service.

the combustion chamber. This not only reduces oil consumption, but more
importantly, keeps combustion chamber deposits to a minimum.
Excessive combustion chamber deposits adversely affect engine operation.
Deposits that form on spark plugs may cause the plugs to short out. Their build-
up causes pinging, knock, or other combustion irregularities that reduce the effi-
ciency and economy of the engine. Because these deposits act as heat barri-
ers, pistons, rings, spark plugs, and valves are not properly cooled. This can
result in damage or even failure of the parts necessitating premature overhaul.
In preventing excessive combustion chamber deposits, it is important that a
motor oil accomplish two things:
The oil must keep the rings free so that they can minimize the amount of oil 3
reaching the combustion chamber.
That portion of the oil reaching the combustion chamber should burn as
cleanly as possible.
Fight Soot
Soot is a by-product of diesel-engine combustion. It is black carbonaceous
particulate matter, which does not dissolve in lubricating oil, but can be sus-
pended by the oil and removed during an oil change. If soot is not well dis-
persed in an oil, it will cause the oil to thicken up and go out of grade. In addi-
tion, soot can agglomerate to form particles large enough to cause abrasive
wear and when the soot load of an oil gets too high, it settles out and forms
sludge. Agglomerated soot and/or highly thickened oil can result in high pres-
sure at the oil filter inlet. This can cause the filter by-pass to open and allow
unfiltered oil into the engine.
Engine oils formulated to fight soot are able to disperse large amounts of soot
without thickening up. Good soot dispersal stops large particles agglomerat-
ing, prevents abrasive wear developing and inhibits the formation of sludge.

AUTOMOTIVE LUBRICANTS
temperatures while others, such as the main and connecting rod bearings,
must run relatively cool to avoid failure. These parts must get an ample supply
of cool oil to pick up the heat and carry it back to the crankcase where it is
cooled by heat transfer to the surrounding air.
To keep this cooling process working, large volumes of oil must be constantly
circulated to the bearings and other engine parts. If the oil supply is inter-
rupted, these parts heat up rapidly from increased friction and combustion
temperatures. A bearing failure is often referred to as a “burned-out bearing”
because temperatures rose high enough to actually melt the bearing metal.
3 While only a small quantity of oil is required at any one time and place to pro-
vide lubrication, the oil pump must circulate many litres of oil per minute in
order to achieve this. Chemical additives and the physical properties of the oil
have little effect on its ability to provide adequate cooling. What is critical is the
continuous circulation of large quantities of oil throughout the engine and over
hot engine parts. This is made possible through the use of large-capacity oil
pumps and oil passages adequate to handle the required volume of oil. These
oil passages cannot do the job properly if they are allowed to become partially
or completely clogged with deposits. When this happens, the oil cannot circu-
late or cool properly and early engine failure may result. This is another rea-
son for changing the oil and filter before the contaminant level becomes too
high. Proper cooling also requires that the oil level in the crankcase never be
permitted to remain below the “add oil” line on the dipstick.
Be Non-Foaming
Because of the many rapidly moving parts in an engine, air in the crankcase is
constantly being whipped into the oil. This produces foam, which is simply a
lot of air bubbles which may or may not readily collapse. These air bubbles
normally rise to the surface and break, but water and certain other contami-
nants slow down the rate at which this occurs, and the result is foam.
Foam is not a good conductor of heat, so if the amount of foam is excessive,
engine cooling will be impaired because the heat will not be dissipated. Foam
also does not have much ability to carry a load and prevent wear of hydraulic
valve lifters and bearings. This is because it contains air and air is easily com-
pressible. On the other hand, oil which is free of air is virtually incompressible.
32
Handbook Canadian 7/25/05 2:24 PM Page 33
AUTOMOTIVE LUBRICANTS
ADDITIVES
As previously stated, an engine oil has to perform ten basic functions. To carry
out these functions, the base oil must be refined to the highest level possible
and then compounded with specially selected chemical additives. Skillful
selection of additives, blended together with Petro-Canada’s HT Severely
Hydrocracked base oils results in engine oils of outstanding performance.
• DETERGENTS
These chemicals, usually metallic based, are designed to control deposits and
keep engine components clean. They are able to clean up existing deposits in
the engine, as well as disperse insoluble matter into the oil. Detergents control 3
contamination resulting from high temperature operation.
• DISPERSANTS
These are usually ashless organic chemicals, which control contamination
from low temperature operation. Both detergents and dispersants attach them-
selves to contaminant particles, such as soot and hold them in suspension,
preventing sludge and deposit formation. The suspended particles, together
with their additive carrier, are so finely divided that they can pass harmlessly
between mating surfaces and through oil filters. This contamination is
removed from the engine when the oil is changed.
• OXIDATION INHIBITORS
These agents reduce oxygen attack on the lubricant base oil to a minimum.
Petro-Canada’s HT Severely Hydrocracked base oils have a superior
response to these additives compared to Solvent Refined base oils. This
results in an engine oil with unrivalled resistance to oil thickening and the
build-up of corrosive acids, hence maintaining good oil flow properties and
resistance to bearing corrosion.
• CORROSION INHIBITORS
Acids are produced by the combustion process and when an engine oil
degrades with use. Unless rendered harmless by the engine oil, these acids
can cause rapid deterioration of engine components. Corrosion inhibitors pro-
tect non-ferrous metals by coating them and forming a barrier between the
parts and their environment.
• RUST INHIBITORS
Rust Inhibitors protect iron/steel surfaces from oxygen attack, by forming a
similar protective screen as mentioned above. Parts such as hydraulic lifters,
push rods, etc. are prone to this type of corrosion.
• ANTI-WEAR AGENTS
These agents prevent wear due to seizure or scuffing of rubbing surfaces. Com-
pounds such as zinc dialkyl-dithiophosphate (ZDDP) break-down at micro-
scopic hot spots and form a chemical film which eliminates metal-to-metal
contact before it grows. Thus scuffing, galling and seizure are prevented.
33
Handbook Canadian 7/25/05 2:24 PM Page 34
AUTOMOTIVE LUBRICANTS
• FOAM DEPRESSANTS
Detergent and dispersant additives can facilitate aeration of an oil, which leads
to foaming. This can reduce the lubricating ability of an oil and even interfere
with oil pumping. Incorporation of a Foam Depressant controls this tendency.
• FRICTION MODIFIERS
Some oils contain friction-modifying chemicals, which can reduce the fuel con-
sumption of an engine. These chemicals form a chemical or physically bonded
film that reduces the friction between the moving engine parts.

The “W” following the SAE viscosity grade stands for “winter” and indicates
that an oil is suitable for use in colder temperatures. Oils carrying the “W” des-
ignation must have the proper viscosity value when measured at appropriate
low temperatures. Those SAE classifications which do not include the “W”
define oil grades for use at higher temperatures. The viscosity of these oils –
SAE 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 – must have the proper value when measured at
100°C and under high shear conditions at 150°C.

i) The lowest ambient temperatures quoted above are for equipment with no
starting aids. Starting aids, such as block coolant heaters, oil sump heaters
and battery warmers will further reduce the minimum starting temperature.
ii) The ambient temperatures quoted above should only be taken as a
guide. For the exact SAE grade required for your vehicle, consult your
owner’s manual.
It is important to understand that the SAE viscosity grade classification system
identifies only viscosity and indicates nothing else about the type or quality of
an oil or the service for which it is intended.

Over the years, Mack Trucks have been very active in developing heavy duty
diesel engine oil standards for the lubrication of their engines.
The MACK EO-M engine oil specification was introduced in 1998. Use of EO-M
oils is mandatory in all MACK 1998 year engines, running in severe service or
operating with extended oil drain intervals.
MACK EO-M oils must be multigraded, meet the requirements of API CH-4
and pass the following engine tests . . . Mack T-8E (300 h), Mack T-9 (500h) and
Cummins M-11 (200h).

The Cummins 20071 specification defines the premium quality engine oil that must
be used in Cummins 1997 year engines, operating in North America with
extended oil drain intervals. Cummins 20071 oils must pass the Cummins
M-11 engine test at 200 hours, together with a matrix of other diesel engine tests
(Mack, Caterpillar and GM).
CUMMINS 20072
The Cummins 20072 specification defines the premium quality engine oil that must
be used in Cummins 1997 engines, operating globally with poor fuel quality and
inferior engine maintenance practices.
Cummins 20072 oils must pass the Cummins M-11 engine test at 200 hours, a
3
matrix of other diesel engine tests (Mack, Caterpillar and GM) and meet the ACEA
E3 requirements for a diesel engine oil.
CUMMINS 20076
The Cummins 20076 specification defines the premium quality engine oil that must
be used in Cummins 1999 year engines, operating in North America with
extended oil drain intervals. Cummins 20076 oils must pass the Cummins M-11
engine test at 300 hours, together with a matrix of other diesel engine tests with
tightened limits, compared to the earlier 20071 spec.
CUMMINS 20078
A new specification, Cummins 20078 has been introduced, and is also defined
around the increased performance embodied in the CI-4 tests and limits.
CATERPILLAR ECF-1
A new specification in 2003, designed for the b-ACERT (bridging-Advanced
Combustion Emission Reduction Technology) engines. This requires oils to be
either CI-4/CH-4 +<1.3% sulphated ash + 1 pass of CAT 1P test or to be
CI-4/CH-4 +1.3-1.5% sulphated ash + 2 passes of CAT 1P test.

AUTOMOTIVE LUBRICANTS
Used engine oil analyses are carried out principally to determine the overall 3
condition of an oil. Monitoring an oil’s condition at successive intervals, over a
relatively long time period, can be used to establish:
The following items are tested to determine the condition of an engine oil :
• Viscosity - is the measure of an oil’s resistance to flow. An oil can “thicken-
up” due to oxidation, the presence of contaminants, or evaporation of light
components. It can “thin-down” due to oil shearing or fuel dilution.
Reported as cSt @ 40°C and cSt @ 100°C
• Coolant - ethylene glycol is the major component of antifreeze coolant sys-
tems, so the presence of glycol is determined. A positive test result indi-
cates a defective gasket or a cracked head/block. Detection of glycol
requires immediate attention, as it reacts quickly in a hot engine to form
varnish and sludge.
• Water - presence due to condensation from low temperature engine opera-
tion or from a leak in the cooling system.
• Dilution - the amount of gasoline or diesel present in an oil.
• Insolubles - suspended material present in the oil, due to presence of soot
from diesel fuel combustion and contamination from airborne dust, dirt or
sand.
• Total Acid Number - expresses the quantity of base required to neutralize
all the acidic constituents present in the oil. Often an indicator of how oxi-
dized an oil has become.
• Total Base Number - measures the reserve alkalinity of an oil, which is the
ability of an alkali to neutralize the effect of acid formation.
• Wear or Additive Metals - The presence of the following elements is
usually determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Spectroscopy:
Aluminum, Barium, Boron, Calcium, Chromium, Copper, Iron, Magnesium,
Phosphorus, Sodium, Tin and Zinc.

3 Limited slip differentials found on passenger cars all operate on the same
principle. Clutches are inserted between the side gears and the case. When
the clutches are engaged they lock the side gears to the case and prevent the
differential action. Either stacked plate or cone type clutches are used for this
purpose.
Torque biasing or locking differentials are used on trucks and off-highway
. Some locking differentials lock and unlock automatically, while others are
arranged so the operator can lock them when full traction is needed at both
driving wheels.
Petro-Canada TRAXON* E Synthetic 75W-90 EP and TRAXON* E Synthetic

AGMA NUMBERS
The American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) has set up a number-
ing system to define gear oil viscosities required for various gear boxes and
applications. These AGMA Lubricant Numbers are normally stamped on the
manufacturer’s metal name plate. ISO Viscosity Grade numbers and AGMA
numbers are compared in the table below.
• AGMA Rust & Oxidation Inhibited Gear Oils are met by Premium R&O or
Hydrex AW oils.
• AGMA Extreme Pressure Gear Lubricants are met by Ultima EP oils.
• Lubricants carrying the suffix “Comp” are met with Senate oils, which
contain special lubricity additives.
• AGMA Synthetic Gear Oils are met by Super Gear Fluids.
• Automotive gear oils, such as Gearlube TOS, are defined by the SAE for
viscosity and the API for quality. These oils can be used in gear boxes but
oils formulated to meet AGMA requirements cannot be used in automotive
differentials or transmissions.

INDUSTRIAL LUBRICANTS
VISCOSITY COMPARISONS
Viscosities designated by various organizations may be compared as shown
in the table opposite. This is strictly a viscosity comparison and should not be
construed as a quality level comparison. To summarize:-
ISO VG – is viscosity measurement in centistokes (cSt) at 40°C.
AGMA – viscosity grades as designated by the American Gear Manufactur-
ers Association.
SAE – Society of Automotive Engineers viscosity measurement for auto-
motive engine and gear oils e.g. SAE 30, SAE 90, etc.
Saybolt – These units are in S.U.S. and were used by various
refiners/blenders to specify viscosity at 100°F or 210°F.
How to use the chart:
For instance, if a manufacturer requires an SAE 30 oil for a piece of
4 equipment, go to the SAE viscosity column and follow across horizontally to
the left to read an ISO VG of 100.

INSIDE STORAGE
Preferably lubricants should be stored inside. However, even then there are
certain precautions that should be followed:
The temperature of the storage area should remain moderate and not be
subject to wide fluctuations.
The storage area should be located away from industrial contamination,
4 such as fumes or dust.
The storage area and dispensing equipment should be clean and be part of
a regular cleaning schedule.
Labels, stencils, markings on containers and dispensing equipment should
be kept legible to avoid cross-contamination or incorrect application.

pressure (EP) oils should use separate dispensing equipment.
OUTSIDE STORAGE
If outside storage is unavoidable, then the following precautions should be fol-
lowed:
Ensure that the bungs on drums are screwed in tight.
Store drums horizontally, with bungs below the oil level (i.e. at 3 o’clock and
9 o’clock). This prevents the seals from drying out and tending to leak. For
the same reason, drums stored upright on pallets should stand upside
down.
Drums stored on their sides should be clear of the ground and preferably
rest on wooden or steel beams. They may be stacked three high if wedged
properly to prevent movement.
Stacking often results in the bottom drums never being used, so the use of a
rack is preferred.
Do not store drums on end with the bungs on top. Rain water collects on the
drum head and is drawn into the oil when the drum breathes during temper-
ature cycles. If drums must be stored this way, they should be tilted first by
standing on edge (say on a 2 x 4 piece of lumber). When oil is drawn from
the drum, the head should be wiped clean first.
Drums preferably should be covered with a tarpaulin to protect them from
the elements.
To minimize contamination and the effects of weathering, time spent in out-
door storage should be kept to a minimum.
Outdoor storage locations should be away from dusty areas such as quar-
ries or unpaved roads. Opening drums in such conditions will contaminate
the contents.

INDUSTRIAL LUBRICANTS
HANDLING
Lubricating oils and greases are a relatively harmless class of material. Never-
theless, care should be taken to avoid skin contact and inhalation of oil mists.
Petro-Canada provides Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) on all of its
products and these are available from your Sales Representative or Customer
Service Representative (CSR).
Some general guidelines for handling lubricating oils and greases follow:
Use protective equipment to avoid skin contact.
Quickly remove any product that does get on the skin.
Do not use gasoline, kerosene or similar solvents to remove lubricants from
the skin as they take the natural oils from the skin and cause dryness.
Use only mild soap and warm water or a recommended hand cleaner to
remove lubricating oil and grease from the skin. Dry using clean hand towels.
Wash hands and arms at the end of the working day and before eating.
4
Remove any contaminated clothing and clean thoroughly before re-use.
Avoid breathing in oil mists.
Clean-up lubricating oil and grease spills immediately and dispose of them
according to environmental guidelines.
Obtain medical advice concerning any potential health problems.

INDUSTRIAL LUBRICANTS
transmission oil that has been stored for five (5) years or longer, while it may
still meet its original performance specifications, may not meet the latest
industry requirements.
• Industrial and Automotive Gear Oils
These highly additized formulations can occasionally exhibit some long term
instability. Under protected conditions* they should only be stored for three
(3) years. In addition, as automotive gear oil specifications occasionally
change, ‘old’ product should be checked to ensure its specifications still meet
the latest industry standards and/or equipment requirements.
• Neat (Non-Emulsifiable) Metal Working Fluids / Way Lubricants
These formulations are often quite delicately balanced. Hence under
protected conditions* they should only be stored for two (2) years.
• Soluable (Emulsifiable) Metal Working Fluids (Cutsol & Cutsol HD)
These products should only be stored for one (1) year.

METALWORKING OILS
Petro-Canada offers a competitive line of metalworking fluids that cover the
major metalworking operations.
The main functions of a metalworking fluid are to lubricate or reduce friction
between the tool and work piece and to act as a coolant by rapidly removing
heat generated at the tool work-piece interface.
Petro-Canada soluble and neat cutting oils are specially formulated to provide
maximum performance for a wide range of metal removing operations.
Proper lubrication reduces friction, and as a result:
less coolant is required to absorb heat
less cutting energy is required
tool wear is reduced
improved surface finishes are obtained

GREASES
GREASES
INTRODUCTION
Grease may be defined as a solid to semi-solid material produced by the dis-
persion of a thickening agent in a liquid lubricant. Other ingredients imparting
special properties may be included.
REGULAR GREASE
THICKENER LUBRICATING OIL ADDITIVES
5 - 20% + 75 - 95% + 0 - 15%
(Fatty acid, animal fat
plus
Metal Hydroxide – calcium,
lithium or aluminum)
COMPLEX GREASE
Complex grease is similar to a regular grease except that the thickener
contains two dissimilar fatty acids, one of which is the complexing agent. This
imparts good high temperature characteristics to the final product.
5
LUBRICATING OIL
The high percentage of oil by weight (75-95%) in a grease requires the oil to
be of high quality and proper viscosity for the intended application. A light
viscosity oil is normally used for low temperature, low load and high speed
applications. Conversely a heavy viscosity oil is generally used for high
temperature, high load and slow speed applications.
ADDITIVES
The most common additives found in grease are as follows:
Oxidation Inhibitors – prolong the life of a grease
EP Agents – guard against scoring and galling
Anti-Corrosion Agents – protect metal against attack from water,
sulphides or corrosive elements
Anti-Wear Agents – prevent abrasion and metal to metal contact

GREASES
GREASE CHARACTERISTICS
The most important factors affecting the properties and characteristics of a
grease are:
Amount and type of thickener
Oil viscosity and physical characteristics
Additives
A grease is expected to:
Reduce friction and wear
Provide corrosion protection
Seal bearings from water and contaminants
Resist leakage, dripping and throw-off
Resist change in structure or consistency during service
Maintain mobility under conditions of application
Be compatible with seals
Tolerate or repel moisture
GREASE DEFINITIONS
Consistency – is the degree of hardness of a grease and may vary consider-
ably with temperature. This has been classified by the National Lubricating
Grease Institute (NLGI) into the following categories:
NLGI GRADE PENETRATION @ 25°C (1/10th mm)
5 000 445 - 475
00 400 - 430
0 355 - 385
1 310 - 340
2 265 - 295
3 220 - 250
4 175 - 205
5 130 - 160
6 85 - 115
Shear Stability – is the ability of a grease to resist a change in consistency
during mechanical working. Under high rates of shear, grease structures
tend to change in consistency (usually become softer).
Oil Separation – is the percentage of oil which separates from the grease
under static (eg. storage) conditions. It cannot predict separation tendencies
in use under dynamic conditions.
High Temperature Stability – is the ability of a grease to retain its
consistency, structure and performance at temperatures above 125°C.

GREASES
GREASE COMPATIBILITY
Occasionally, grease substitution in an application may be necessary to cor-
rect problems arising from the original product in service. If the thickeners are
incompatible, the mixture will fall short of the properties of the individual greases.
It is strongly advised that, in all cases, the old grease be purged or cleaned
out from the system before a new one is introduced.
However, compatibility between greases is temperature dependent. As the
temperature rises, the problems associated with incompatibility also increase.
The following chart indicates the compatibilities of major Petro-Canada
greases. With competitors’ products, it is strongly advised to treat them as
incompatible unless strong evidence exists to the contrary.

GREASES
APPLYING GREASE
The over-packing and over-greasing of bearings accounts for more failures than
any other factor. Excess grease in a bearing cavity increases internal friction, which
in turn raises the bearing temperature above the dropping point of the grease. This
causes oil separation and eventually lack of lubrication. When packing a split
housing pillow block bearing ensure that the grease cavity is only one-third full.
Re-greasing intervals are determined from: 5
severity of service environment condition of seals shock loading
The following chart provides a guide to re-greasing intervals and the amount
of grease to be applied.

PRECISION GREASES
Precision greases are versatile premium performance, long-life, lithium-com-
plex greases designed to lubricate and protect automotive and industrial
equipment over a very wide range of operating conditions. Precision greases
are recommended for passenger cars, vans, highway truck fleets and all off-
highway vehicles. They are also the prime recommendation for all industrial
machinery, as well as pulp and paper mills and mineral extraction equipment.
Precision Moly EP1 and EP 2 Greases - both contain a more viscous oil and
are compounded with 3% molybdenum disulphide. They are best suited to
tough, heavy-duty shock-loaded equipment in industrial and off-highway appli-
cations. They are also suitable for truck fifth wheels. Precision Moly EP 1 is
formulated for better pumpability at lower temperatures than Moly EP 2 and
may be used in centralized greasing systems.

5 SUPREME GREASES
Supreme Greases are high melting, heavy duty greases containing an
aluminum complex thickener and a high viscosity base oil. They are designed
to deliver outstanding service life and equipment protection over specific
ranges of temperatures and environmental conditions. Unlike many other
greases, they possess the unique property of reverting to their original
consistency after over heating and recooling. The adhesiveness of these
greases is a guarantee that they will stay in place.
Supreme Greases excel when used in bearings subjected to high pressures or
heavy shock loading, where application is frequent and regular, such as in steel
mills.
Supreme Arctic is recommended for centralized greasing systems on heavy
duty off highway and mining equipment, operating in extreme low temperature
conditions. It has excellent EP, antiwear and water resistance properties.
Supreme Lo-Temp EP is recommended for mobile equipment operating in
low ambient conditions and with centralized greasing systems.
Supreme EP 1 is recommended for heavy-duty gear and bearing applications
served by centralized greasing systems or requiring greater grease mobility
than Supreme EP 2.
Supreme EP 2 is recommended for heavy-duty gear and bearing applications
operating at low speed and high temperatures.
Supreme Moly EP 0, EP 1 and EP 2 contain 5% molybdenum disulphide
and are designed to meet Caterpillar lubricant specifications for their 5130
(7TJ & 5ZL), 5230 (7LL) model Mining Excavators and 994 (9YF) model

THERMEX
Thermex grease is a red NLGI #2 grade formulated with a silica gel thickener,
a synthetic oil and an oxidation inhibitor. Thermex grease has excellent shear
stability and has a good service life at temperatures in excess of 260°C.
When exposed to high temperatures it neither softens nor melts as conventional
greases do. It does not harden or carbonize at these extreme temperatures
because the fluid component vaporizes slowly, leaving little or no deposit.
Regular greasing intervals replaces the normal evaporation loss. The required
interval varies by application.

In addition to our world scale Lubricants base oil manufacturing and blending plant
in Mississauga, Ontario, Petro-Canada operates two modern refineries:
Montreal, Quebec
and Edmonton, Alberta.
These refineries all produce gasolines and diesel fuels, and each refinery
makes certain specialty products such as aviation fuels, solvents, petrochemical
feedstocks and asphalts.
GASOLINES
Petro-Canada’s branded gasolines come in 4 octane grades:
87 octane regular: RegularClean
89 octane mid-grade: PlusClean
91 octane premium: SuperClean
94 octane super premium: SuperClean 94 (available in Montreal, Vancouver
and Victoria)
While 87 octane RegularClean is satisfactory for 75% of all vehicles, about
25% of Canadian vehicles require a higher octane fuel for proper perfor-
mance. Most service stations offer 3 grades of gasoline to meet virtually all
customer needs. Stations in Montreal, Vancouver and Victoria also carry
SuperClean 94, a 94 octane super premium gasoline. The primary purpose of
the octane quality of gasolines is to prevent pre-ignition of fuels, allowing
proper combustion of the fuel and preventing knocking or pinging, which can
lead to poor performance and engine damage.
WinterGas
During winter months in most parts of Canada, Petro-Canada offers
WinterGas for superior cold weather protection and performance. WinterGas
is specially formulated for winter conditions to allow easier starting in very
8
cold weather. It also contains a de-icer to minimize the possibility of fuel line
freeze-up due to condensation in vehicle fuel tanks, and, of course, it contains
TACTROL™ gasoline detergent to keep fuel systems clean.
171
Handbook Canadian 7/25/05 2:24 PM Page 172
Marine Gasoline
Petro-Canada’s Marine Gasoline on the West Coast of Canada is an 89
octane product which should meet the needs of most marine applications. It is
generally dyed red.
DIESEL FUELS
All of Petro-Canada’s regular diesel fuels are seasonally adjusted –
designed with suitable low temperature properties for different geographic
areas to reduce the risk of waxing or gelling, under most normal low winter
temperatures. Seasonal adjustment, usually monthly, also maximizes fuel
density to maximize fuel economy.
All diesel fuel sold for ‘on-road’ use is low sulphur diesel fuel – less than
500 parts per million (ppm) sulphur, to minimize diesel engine emissions and
comply with federal environmental regulations. Most ‘off-road’ diesel fuel that
Petro-Canada sells in Western Canada is also low sulphur, while most off-road
diesel fuel in Central and Eastern Canada is ‘regular sulphur’ fuel.
All Petro-Canada diesel fuels have suitable lubricity for both new and older
diesel engines. “Lubricity” is the ability of a diesel fuel to lubricate fuel-wetted
parts of fuel pumps and fuel injectors to minimize wear. Heavier summer
diesel fuels, whether regular or low sulphur, have good natural lubricity. Some
lighter winter diesel fuels are treated with lubricity additive to ensure that they
have adequate lubricity to protect equipment from undue wear.
Petro-Pass is Petro-Canada’s chain of truck stops, offering diesel fuel, other
fuels, supplies and facilities for truckers across Canada. SuperPass is Petro-
Canada’s commercial credit card, fuel and information management system,
and may be used across Canada and at many locations in the United States.
More information is available at Petro Canada’s internet web site:
www.petro-canada.ca
Petro-Canada also offer specialty diesel fuels at selected locations across
Canada, such as No. 1 Low Sulphur Diesel for urban buses, underground
mines and low temperature applications, and Diesel 50 for very cold applica-
tions (down to -40°C) in northern and arctic locations.
AVIATION FUELS
8 Jet A-1, turbine fuel used in most commercial jets, is produced at all three
Petro-Canada refineries. Most product is shipped by pipeline directly to major
local airports. Jet A-1, a kerosene-type fuel, is available by truck and rail at
Edmonton Refinery.
Jet B and Jet F-40 are produced at Edmonton Refinery: Jet B is used by
helicopters and aircraft in the north (because of it’s ease of engine starting,
172
Handbook Canadian 7/25/05 2:24 PM Page 173
especially in cold weather), and Jet F-40 is currently used by the Canadian
military. Jet B is a ‘gasoline-like’ fuel, composed mostly of naphtha. Jet B-DI,
available in truck load quantities and drummed, is Jet B with ‘de-icer’, or fuel
system icing inhibitor.
Aviation Gasoline 100LL is also produced at Edmonton Refinery, and is
available in truckload quantities and drums. This product is a high octane,
leaded fuel designed for high compression ratio piston aero engines. Many
multiple-engine planes require this fuel.
ALTERNATIVE FUELS
Propane (automotive, HD-5 quality) is sold at many Petro-Canada service
stations.
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) / Natural Gas for Vehicles (NGV) is sold
at selected service stations in the Vancouver area. Petro-Canada is a major
Canadian producer of natural gas, and sells significant volumes of natural
gas into the bulk wholesale market.
Gasohol, or gasoline with 5 to 10% ethyl alcohol, is sold at selected bulk
plant sites in south-western Ontario. SuperClean 94 in Montreal contains ethyl
alcohol, and Petro-Canada has plans to offer gasohol in parts of Quebec.
Pumps will be clearly labelled if the gasoline contains ethyl alcohol.
SPECIALTY PRODUCTS
Most of the specialty products that Petro-Canada produces are sold in com-
mercial quantities by pipeline shipment, rail car or truck loads. Petro-Canada
does not offer many of these specialty products such as kerosene or Petrosol
3139 in retail package sizes, but sells to other companies that package and
distribute these products.
Kerosene 1-K is produced in Edmonton and Montreal. The 1-K grade is a
very low sulphur, low odour product designed for use in kerosene heaters and
lamps.
Petrosol 3139 Hydrocarbon Solvent, produced in Edmonton and Montreal,
is used as a paint thinner, solvent and degreaser. It has a flash point above
38°C for safe handling, a boiling range from 150 to 210°C, and typically
18-20% aromatics. Montreal Refinery also produces other solvents such as
Petrosol 3135 and 3355 for specialty applications.
Petrochemicals: Montreal Refinery produces benzene, toluene, xylene, and
nonenes for the petrochemical industry.
Other specialty products may be produced at some refineries, and these
products are usually of limited or special commercial interest:
Sulphur, a basic industrial chemical, is produced at natural gas plants in
Western Canada and at Oakville Refinery. 8
Coke, black carbon looking like lava rock, is used to make carbon electrodes
for smelting bauxite to make aluminum.
Carbon black feedstock is a heavy, black aromatic oil used to make carbon
black (finely powered carbon) for use in tire manufacture.

ASPHALT
Petro-Canada is a major producer and marketer of asphalt to the transporta-
tion and road building industry, to the manufacturers of asphalt shingles and
roofing products, and for the construction of built-up roofing.
Asphalt is produced at 2 of our refineries in Eastern Canada (Montreal and
Oakville) and at our Mississauga Asphalt Plant. Asphalt is sold in tanker
truckload quantities at these 3 facilities and from 6 other asphalt terminal
locations. Built-up roofing asphalt is available in tanker truck quantities and in
solid packages.
Petro-Canada manufactures 11 performance grades (PG-grades) of Asphalt
Cement to satisfy the requirements of the Ministry of Transportation of
Ontario, Quebec Ministry of Transportation, The Maritimes, Newfoundland,
New York State DOT, Vermont DOT, New Hampshire DOT, and Maine DOT for
the construction of asphalt pavements. Petro-Canada also manufactures 10
penetration and viscosity grades of Asphalt Cement and Asphalt Emulsion
Fluxes to satisfy the requirements of the paving contractors for the construc-
tion of asphalt pavement for parking lots and driveways and the manufacture
of asphalt emulsions.
Petro-Canada manufactures 3 grades of built-up roofing asphalt at our
Mississauga Asphalt plant to satisfy the requirements for the construction of
flat, sloped and steep slope commercial roofing.
Petro-Canada has ISO 9002 registration for the supply of asphalt.

pumped readily near the pour point. ASTM D97 is used to determine pour
point. ASTM D97 also provides for the determination of CLOUD POINT, the
lowest temperature at which the sample becomes clouded by the formation of
wax crystals. Clouding is a characteristic only of paraffinic oils. It is a consider-
ation in the evaluation of fuels whose filtration might be impaired by the plug-
ging effect of wax crystals.
RUST INHIBITOR – a lubricant additive for protecting ferrous (iron and steel)
components from rusting caused by water contamination or other harmful
materials from oil degradation. Some rust inhibitors operate similarly to corro-
sion inhibitors by reacting chemically to form an inert film on metal surfaces.
Other rust inhibitors absorb water by incorporating it into water-in-oil emulsion
so that only the oil touches the metal surfaces.
SCUFFING – engine wear resulting from the localized welding and fracture of
rubbing surfaces.
SOLVENT EXTRACTION – a traditional refinery process that is used to
upgrade chemical and physical properties in the manufacture of lube oil
basestocks. The process relies on the solubility of impurities (especially
aromatic components that may also contain sulphur and nitrogen) in an
extractive solvent, usually furfural or phenol. The by-product of this process is
highly aromatic EXTRACT, used to make EXTENDER oils, and as feed for
other refinery processes.
STLE – (Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers) – formerly known
as ASLE.
SULPHATED ASH – (see ASH)
SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTS - lubricants manufactured by a process, where a
chemical conversion or transformation of one complex mixture of molecules into
another complex mixture takes place. A simple purification or physical separa-
tion process, such as distillation or freezing, does not constitute a synthesis.
Common types of synthetic base oil include:
• Polyalpha olefins
• Hydrocracked/HydroIsomerized Unconventional Base Oils (UCBOs)
• Organic esters
• Polyglycols
Synthetic lubricants can exhibit one or more of the following advantages over
conventional mineral oils:
• Excellent low temperature fluidity
• Low pour point
• High natural viscosity index
• Outstanding oxidation stability
• High flash and auto-ignition points
• Low volatility
• Non-toxic
Synthetic lubricants have been used for some time in applications such as jet
engine lubricants, arctic lubricants and fire resistant hydraulic fluids. They are
now starting to replace conventional mineral oils in a number of applications,
where one or more of the above properties are required. Despite their higher
price, synthetics offer operating advantages that can make them more
economical in the long run. For example - reduced oil consumption, longer oil
life, improved fuel economy and easier starting at low temperatures.
