Application of the antioxidant capacity test to re-refined and virgin base stock oils
The antioxidant capacity test test developed by the Ford Motor Company has been set up and is being examined for applicability to evaluate the relative free radical oxidation stability of various re-refined and virgin base stock oils. This test will also be used in the ASTM/NBS base stock consistency study which will begin in March 1980. The test method determines the antioxidant capacity of a lube oil by measuring the length of an induction period which preceeds the rapid uptake of oxygen by the test solution. This paper describes the work to data on the antioxidant capacity test as applied to commercially available oils, reference oils, re-refined base stock oils and virgin base stock oils.
