    Abstract: A lubricating oil composition, and a method of reducing LSPI events employing the lubricating oil composition, including a base oil of lubricating viscosity, and an additive composition including: one or more overbased calcium-containing detergent(s) sufficient to provide at least 500 ppmw of calcium, and a zirconium-containing nanoparticle(s) and/or one or more zirconium-containing compound(s) sufficient to provide greater than 0 ppmw to 6000 ppmw of zirconium, wherein the nanoparticles have a size of from 1 to 500 nm, as measured by Dynamic Light Scattering, an amount of one or more molybdenum-containing compound present in an amount sufficient to provide no greater than 100 ppmw of molybdenum, and wherein the additive composition has a weight ratio of ppmw of zirconium provided by the zirconium-containing nanoparticle(s) and/or the one or more zirconium-containing compound(s) to the ppmw of calcium provided by the one or more overbased-calcium-containing detergent(s) of greater than about 0.01 to less than 5.
