Abstract: Provided is an engine oil lubricant composition with improved fuel efficiency and engine wear protection. The lubricant composition may include a major amount of an oil basestock from any one or more Group I, Group II, Group III, Group IV or Group V base oils. The resulting engine oil lubricant composition may have a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of 6 cSt or less, and a corrosion protection of at least 90, as measured according the ASTM D6557 Ball Rust Test. The resulting engine oil lubricant composition may also have a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of 6 cSt or less, an HTHS (ASTM D4683) of less than or equal to 2.2 cP at 150° C. and a FZG failure load stage of at least 6, as measured by the FZG A10/16.6R/130 test procedure.

Abstract: Provided is an engine oil lubricant composition with improved fuel economy. The engine oil lubricant composition may include about 40 wt % to about 80 wt % of a first oil base stock consisting of a Group IV base oil and about 10 wt % to about 40 wt % of a second oil base stock that is not a Group IV base oil, where these weight percents are based on the total weight of the engine oil lubricant composition. The engine oil lubricant composition can have an HTHS (ASTM D4683) of less than or equal to 2.2 cP at 150° C., a Noack volatility (ASTM D5800) of 25% or less, and an evaporation rate of 6% or less as measured by distillation method DIN 51454 mod. C17-C19.

Abstract: This disclosure provides a method for improving high temperature antifoaming performance of a lubricating oil in an engine or other mechanical component lubricated with the lubricating oil by using as the lubricating oil a formulated oil. The formulated oil has a composition with a lubricating oil base stock as a major component, and at least one silicone antifoaming agent, as a minor component. The silicone antifoaming agent is delivered to the lubricating oil by contacting the lubricating oil with a cured silicone (e.g., room temperature vulcanized (RTV) silicone) at a temperature, and for a period of time, sufficient to deliver silicone to the lubricating oil. The delivered silicone is soluble in the lubricating oil. The lubricating oils are useful as passenger vehicle engine oils (PVEO) and commercial vehicle engine oils (CVEO).
