Abstract: A lubricant additive gel formed by the gellation of two or more lubricant additives for the slow release of the additive components into a fluid. The lubricant additive gel slowly releases into its component lubricant additives when contacted with the fluid such as an oil thereby serving as a lubricant fluid such as an oil thereby.

Abstract: Reaction of a carboxylic acid-containing polymer with certain aromatic amines results in dispersant viscosity modifiers with improved soot handling performance in heavy-duty diesel engines, compared with reaction with non-aromatic amines.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine with a catalyst-containing exhaust-gas aftertreatment device is lubricated with a composition of a base oil; and a zinc salt of a mixture of phosphorus-containing compounds having hydrocarbyl groups R1 and R2 where the average total number of carbon atoms in R1 plus R2 for the mixture of phosphorus-containing compounds is at least 9.5, where 4 to 30 weight percent of such groups contain 2 to 4 carbon atoms and where in less than 8 mole percent of the phosphorus-containing molecules in the mixture of phosphorus-containing compounds each of R1 and R2 contain 2 to 4 carbon atoms.

Abstract: Lubricant compositions comprising (a) an oil of lubricating viscosity; and (b) at least one non-metal-containing additive, comprising a nitrogen-containing dispersant having a total base number of at least about 90 are useful for lubricating an internal combustion engine. The lubricants have less than 1.0% sulfated ash and a total base number of at least about 8.5, and at least 30% of the total base number of the composition is provided by non-metal-containing additives. The lubricants exhibit a high TBN without deterioration of elastomeric seals.

Abstract: A composition of the reaction product of (a) an isobutylene-diene copolymer having thereon groups containing carboxylic acid functionality or reactive equivalent thereof, derived from an ?,?-unsaturated carboxylic compound; and (b) an amine component comprising at least one aromatic amine containing at least one N—H group capable of condensing with said carboxylic acid functionality, is a useful dispersant viscosity modifier.
