Abstract: The present invention is directed to a lubricating oil for use in engines subjected to sustained severe load conditions, said lubricating oil comprising a base oil, and an additive package comprising one or more neutral/low TBN or a mixture of neutral/low TBN, and overbased/high TBN alkali or alkaline earth metal alkyl sulfonates, alkyl phenates, alkyl salicylates, an antioxidant selected from the group consisting of glycerine derivatives comprising glycerine grafted with a hindered phenol, hindered phenolic containing a thioether group, and mixtures thereof, optionally an additional conventional antioxidant and/or an organomolybdenum compound, and other additives, and to a method for enhancing the deposit formation resistance of a lubricating oil used in engines operated under sustained severe load comprising the addition to the lubricant of the aforesaid additive package.

Abstract: The resistance to oxidation and nitration of a gas engine oil is improved by the use of a combination of a hindered phenolic antioxidant and an (alkylated) phenyl-?-naphthylamine antioxidant. The additional use of an organo molybdenum compound further enhances the resistance to oxidation and nitration.

Abstract: A lubricating oil especially useful as a natural gas engine lubricating oil that has extended life as evidenced by reductions in viscosity increase, oxidation and nitration relative to current commercial and reference oils is provided. The oil comprises a major amount of a base oil of lubricating viscosity and a mixture of metallic detergents comprising: (i) a neutral calcium alkylsalicylate detergent and (ii) a second neutral or overbased metallic detergent or mixture of detergents other than neutral calcium alkylsalicylate selected from the group consisting of calcium and barium sulfonates, phenates and alkylsalicylates. The composition is further characterized as having low or no zinc.
