The aging behavior of synthetic lubricants, in particular environmentally adapted lubricants esters, in comparison to mineral base oils, is studied. V Three fully commercially formulated lubricants were subjected to an oxidation process using a modified dry-Waterless Turbine Oil Oxidation Stability Test. The oils were: Oil A (hydraulic unsaturated ester with antioxidants and corrosion inhibitors), Oil B (turbine mineral oil with antioxidants and corrosion inhibitors), and Oil C (turbine saturated ester oil with antioxidants and corrosion inhibitors). This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 15th International Colloquium Tribology - Automotive and Industrial Lubrication (Ostfildern, Germany 1/17-19/2006).
