  • Publication number: 20210230496
    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to the inhibition of corrosion on electrically conductive componentry subjected to a lubricant composition, but that is not submersed in the lubricant composition, or in other words, vapor phase corrosion inhibition. The technology more particularly relates to the use of azole compounds capable of inhibiting corrosion of the electrically conductive componentry in the vapor space above a lubricant composition, and often in the liquid phase of the lubricant composition as well.

  • Publication number: 20100212624
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method of lubricating an internal combustion engine comprising at least one of a crankcase, a gear and a wet-clutch, said method comprising supplying to said crankcase, gear and wet-clutch a lubricating composition comprising: (a) an oil of lubricating viscosity; and (b) a viscosity modifier with a number average molecular weight from 1000 to 75,000, wherein the lubricating composition has a SAE viscosity grade from XW-Y, wherein X is from 0 to 20 and Y is from 20 to 50; and wherein the lubricating composition has a phosphorus content from a metal hydrocarbyl dithiophosphate of 0.12 wt % or less.

  • Patent number: 6890890
    Abstract: This invention relates to a lubricating composition comprising a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity, (A) an antiwear improving amount of at least one molybdenum containing composition, (B) at least one phosphorus antiwear or extreme pressure agent, and (C) at least one dispersant, provided that the lubricating composition is free of polysulfurized olefins. The lubricating compositions have improved antiwear properties. When the lubricating composition is used in a manual transmission, the amount of brass wear is reduced.

  • Patent number: 6586375
    Abstract: This invention relates to a lubricating composition comprising a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity and a minor amount of a salt of at least one nitrogen containing polyacrylate and at least one phosphorus acid ester. The invention also relates to lubricating compositions and concentrates containing the same. The present phosphorus salts of the nitrogen containing copolymers provide improved dispersant, viscosity improver and antiwear properties to lubricating compositions.
