Abstract:
Internal combustion engines exhibit improved efficiency of the emissions control system by using a lubricating oil composition of a base oil, an alkali or alkaline earth metal-containing detergent; a metal salt of one or more phosphorus-containing compounds represented by the formula (I) , wherein X 1 and X 2 are independently O or S, and R 1 and R 2 are independently hydrocarbyl groups, the average total number of carbon atoms in R 1 and R 2 for the one or more phosphorus-containing compounds being at least 10.4; and an acylated nitrogen-containing compound having at least about 10 alphatic carbon atoms and a TBN of at least about 2; the lubricating oil composition being characterized by a phosphorus concentration of up to about 0.12% by weight and the substantial absence of copper, thereby generating a lean-phosphorus containing exhaust gas.
Abstract:
A composition for lubricating an internal combustion engine includes an oil of lubricating viscosity; a predominantly linear alkylbenzenesulfonate detergent having a metal ratio of at least 8; and a combination of hindered phenolic ester antioxidant and aromatic amine antioxidant. The amount of any phenate detergent is less than 15% by weight of the total amount of detergents.

Abstract:
The disclosed invention relates to a composition comprising an oil of lubricating viscosity, a hydrogenated copolymer of an olefin block and vinyl aromatic block, wherein the polymer is optionally functionalized, and a star polymer. Use of the composition as a lubricating composition is disclosed.
Abstract:
In accordance with the invention, it has been discovered that the performance of a functional fluid, such as a lubricant, can be improved by following a method of operating a functional fluid using device, such as an engine, comprising: supplying to the device a functional fluid composition comprising an additive package; operating the device containing the functional fluid composition; and adding to the functional fluid composition, during the operation of the device, a supplemental additive package; resulting in a performance improvement of the functional fluid composition during its service life and/or an extension of the functional fluid composition's service life, and so an improvement in the performance of the device.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a controlled release gel with an ashless component and defined ash-producing component. Further, the invention relates to the use of a controlled release gel with a controlled level of ash-producing (i.e., metal) components for delivery of additives into lubricants wherein the gel has reduced ash and SAPS producing components.
