Abstract: The combination (mixture and/or reaction product) of an epoxy based demulsifier and a heterocyclic compound, e.g. dimercaptoth-iadiazole, has been found to exhibit synergistic activity in marine oil formulations especially Trunk Piston Oils. The combination produces Trunk Piston Oils with improved water-shedding properties.
Abstract: An automotive lubricant composition comprises a white oil basestock and at least one polyisoalkylene compound. The polyisoalkylene, e.g. polyisobutylene, acts as an antioxidant. The lubricant is used, for example, as an engine oil, gear oil or automatic transmission fluid. The lubricant may contain one or more additional antioxidants and other lubricant additives.

Abstract: Hydrocarbon liquids obtained from the isomerization of slack wax have been found to be superior carrier fluids for additives (e.g., detergents) used in gasolines. They produce reduced amounts of engine deposit and mitigate any tendency to cause or promote valve sticking.
