Patent ID: 8614174

Claim:
A lubricant blend comprising: a first base stock of one or more alkyl cyclohexyl 1,2-dicarboxylate esters at 10 [1] wt % to 50 wt % based on the total weight of the blend, and a second base stock at 90 [99] wt % to 50 wt % based on the total weight of the blend, wherein the second base stock is a C 10 poly-α-olefin, wherein the pour point of the lubricant is 3 [0] to 9 [15]° C. lower than the lowest of the pour points of the first base stock and the second base stock, wherein the one or more alkyl cyclohexyl 1,2-dicarboxylate esters is di(n-nonyl) 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylate, wherein the kinematic viscosity of the C 10 poly-α-olefin ranges from 6 to 150 centistokes, and wherein the combination of the first base stock and the second base stock comprise from 77 wt. % to 100 wt. % based on the total weight of the blend.
