Abstract:
Lubricating oil compositions having a sulfated ash content of no more than 1.0 mass %, which contain a major amount of oil of lubricating viscosity, a minor amount of calcium salicylate detergent, an amount of a magnesium-based detergent providing at least 200 ppm of magnesium, and a basic, low molecular weight, nitrogen-containing dispersant, which compositions provide improved top ring wear protection in internal combustion engines.
Abstract:
A lubricating oil composition having a phosphorus content of up to 0.12 wt %, a sulfated ash content of up to 1.2 wt % comprising (a) a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity; (b) an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal alkyl salicylate lubricating oil detergent providing from 7-15 mmol salicylate soap per kilogram of lubricating oil composition; (c) one or more dispersants providing the lubricating oil composition with from at least 0.12 wt % to 0.20 wt % atomic nitrogen, based on the weight of the lubricating oil composition, and (d) a dispersant-viscosity modifier.
Abstract:
Lubricating oil compositions having a sulfated ash content of no more than 1.0 mass %, which contain a major amount of oil of lubricating viscosity, a minor amount of calcium salicylate detergent, an amount of a magnesium-based detergent providing the lubricating oil composition with at least 200 ppm of magnesium, an amount of a sulfur-containing molybdenum compound providing the lubricating oil composition with at least 20 ppm of molybdenum, and at least one nitrogen-containing dispersant providing the lubricating oil composition with at least 0.9 mass % nitrogen, which compositions provide improved top ring wear protection in internal combustion engines.
Abstract:
A lubricating oil composition for internal combustion engines, particularly heavy duty diesel (HDD) engines, having reduced phosphorus, sulfur and sulfated ash contents that provide excellent piston cleanliness performance and contain an amount of phenate detergent that introduces a relatively large amount of phenate soap into the lubricating oil composition.
Abstract:
Soot induced kinematic viscosity increase of lubricating oil compositions for diesel engines equipped with EGR systems can be ameliorated by selection of viscosity modifier, lubricating oil flow improvers, detergents and/or dispersants.
