Abstract: The air release rate of lubricating compositions is significantly enhanced when the composition is formulated with alkyl salicylate detergents, especially calcium or magnesium alkyl salicylate detergents. Compositions having the improved air release rates are substantially free of a viscoelastic fluid having a shear stress greater than 11 kPa and a viscosity greater than 30 cSt at 100° C.

Abstract: A lubricating oil composition is disclosed. This composition, comprises a lubricating oil basestock, an alkylated aromatic additive of at least 0.01 and less than 20 weight percent of the composition, a dispersant-detergent-inhibitor system of less than 15 percent weight percent of the composition, a zinc dithiophosphate additive of at least 0.1 weight percent of the composition and no more than 1.0 weight percent of the composition, the composition having less than 630 PPM phosphorus, less than 710 PPM zinc, less than 5,000 PPM sulfur, less than 8 TBN, less than 1.0 weight percent ash. In a second embodiment, an additive composition for lubricating oils is disclosed. In a third embodiment, a method of obtain a favorable lubricating properties is disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention concerns friction reducers for use in lubricating oil compositions which comprise certain groups of aromatic compounds, esters, narrow mixtures of base stocks, and/or amorphous polymers such as amorphous olefin copolymers. These compositions can provide substantial reductions in the coefficient of friction and fuel economy improving benefits when admixed to lubricating oils without deleterious effects such as instability, undesirable high viscosities and deposits. In one aspect of the invention, pentaerythritol esters and optionally triol esters are added to lubricating oil compositions to provide reduced friction and improved fuel economy. In a second aspect of the invention, similar results are obtained by adding hydrocarbyl aromatics to a lubricating oil composition containing one or more of Groups II and III base stock. In a third aspect, the invention concerns a lubricating oil composition comprising an amorphous olefin copolymer and one or more of Groups II and III base stocks.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a lubricant composition comprising GLT base stock with an ashless detergent to improve air release properties. The ashless detergents comprise the products resulting from the reaction of a salicylic acid, organic group substituted salicylic acid, sulfonic acid or organic groups substituted sulfur acid with thiadiazole or organic group substituted thiadiazole or an alkyl primary or secondary amine.
