Abstract: The invention relates to a lubricating oil composition having improved antioxidant properties, and which contains a molybdenum compound and an alkylated phenothiazine. Further, it may also include a secondary diarylamine, preferably an alkylated diphenylamine. This combination of additives provides improved oxidation control and friction modifier performance to the lubricating oil. The composition is particularly suited for use as a crankcase lubricant, or a transmission lubricant, including low levels and zero levels of phosphorus.

Abstract: The lubricating oil of the present invention has a viscosity suitable for use in a diesel engine and includes at least one functionalized olefin polymer, and at least one zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate (ZDDP). The ZDDP is made from a mixture of primary alcohols or a mixture of primary and secondary alcohols, wherein the lubricant has a high boundary film value greater than or equal to 15, and preferably greater than 60, as measured by using a High Frequency Reciprocating Rig (HFRR).
