Abstract: The present invention relates to a combined lubricant and fuel composition package for operating a diesel engine, wherein the lubricant comprises a base oil comprising (i) a continuous series of iso-paraffins having n, n+1, n+2, n+3 and n+4 carbon atoms, and/or (ii) a continuous series of iso-paraffins having n, n+2 and n+4 carbon atoms and not containing n+1, and n+3; wherein n is between 15 and 40; and wherein the fuel composition comprises a paraffinic gas oil component having a paraffin content of greater than 80 wt % paraffins and a saturates content of greater than 98 wt %, and to its use in the reduction of nitrogen oxide in engine operation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a paraffinic base oil in a lubricant for the reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions of compression ignition engines, wherein the paraffinic base oil comprises (i) a continuous series of iso-paraffins having n, n+1, n+2, n+3 and n+4 carbon atoms, wherein n is between 15 and 40.

Abstract: A lubricating oil composition having a sulfur content of from 0.3 to 0.5 wt. %, a phosphorus content of from 0.10 to 0.13 wt. % and a sulfated ash content of from 0.1 to 1.1 wt. %, based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition is provided. The lubricating oil composition contains at least one Group II mineral base oil; at least one alkali and/or alkaline earth metal alkyl salicylate; an ashless dispersant; at least one zinc didithiophosphate; and at least one aminic ashless antioxidant and at least one phenolic ashless antioxidant.
