Abstract:
A lubricant composition containing a metal-containing detergent in an amount to provide at least about 2 TBN to the lubricant, and a dispersant comprising an oleophilic portion comprising at least about 40 carbon atoms and an acid-bearing portion, characterized in having a TAN:TBN ratio of at least about 0.8, exhibits good TBN retention.
Abstract:
A lubricating composition containing an oil of lubricating viscosity, a high molecular weight polyolefin that is at least substantially free of ethylene-derived monomer units, and an overbased metal containing detergent, is capable of reducing intake valve deposits in a direct injection engine.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a lubricating composition, particularly marine diesel engine lubricating compositions, comprising: (a) an oil of lubricating viscosity; (b) an asphaltene dispersant comprising an amide group, which may also contain a succinimide group, and which may optionally be used in combination with additional asphaltene dispersants that contain a cyclic headgroup that contains a nitrogen atoms where the additional asphaltene dispersants may also include a succinimide group; and (c) a detergent derived from an alkyl phenol. The invention further provides methods of using such compositions in the operation of engine, particularly marine diesel engines.
Abstract:
A lubricating composition containing (a). at least 3 weight percent of an overbased sulphonate detergent with a metal ratio of 12.5:1 to 40:1; (b). at least 1.5 weight percent of a sulphur containing phenate detergent with a metal ratio of not more 2.5; and (c). an oil of lubricating viscosity, wherein the sulphur containing phenate contains oligomers of hydrocarbyl phenol with at least 50 wt % of said oligomers in the form of the tetramer or higher oligomers. The composition is suitable for internal combustion engines, particularly marine diesel applications to provide improved cleanliness decreased cylinder wear and reduced deposits.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method of lubricating a marine diesel engine, comprising supplying to said engine a marine diesel cylinder lubricant composition at a feed rate of 0.3 to less than 1.2 g/kW hr, wherein said lubricant composition has a ratio of /Σ(wt % overbased detergent)/Σ(wt % of boron from antiwear additives+wt % of phosphorus-containing antiwear additives) of greater than 12.5. The invention further provides a method capable of imparting improved cleanliness and decreased cylinder wear; and reduced deposits.
Abstract:
A lubricant composition comprising an oil of lubricating viscosity and 0.01 to 5 percent by weight of an organic friction modifier, said lubricant composition being substantially free from molybdenum compounds, is suitable for lubricating an internal combustion engine operating at above 150° C. at the cylinder liner, for example, a marine diesel engine.
Abstract:
A method of lubricating an internal combustion engine with a power output of at least 1600 kilowatts, with a lubricating composition, the method comprising: (1) monitoring one or more performance characteristics of the engine; (2) selecting an additive package to provide a desired TBN level to a lubricating composition to modify the performance characteristics of the engine; (3) combining the additive package of step (2) with (a) a component having a viscosity of about 2 mm2/s to 12 mm2/s, comprising a light neutral base oil, and optionally (b) a component having a viscosity of above 12 mm2/s to about 40 mm2/s, comprising heavy neutral base oil or a brightstock, to form a lubricating composition; and (4) supplying the lubricating composition of step (3) to the engine.
