Abstract: Provided are lubricating compositions comprising in admixture at least 40 wt % of a base stock selected from the group consisting of Group I, Group II, Group III, Group IV and Group V base stocks, or any combination thereof, one or more polyalkylene glycol mono ethers, and at least one additive. Also provided are methods of improving the friction and wear properties of a base stock selected from the group consisting of Group I, Group II, Group III, Group IV and Group V base stocks, or any combination thereof, comprising blending the base stock with one or more polyalkylene glycol mono ethers and at least one additive, to form a lubricating composition.

Abstract: A continuous process for preparing lithium complex greases improved by using a complexing agent of dimethyl glutarate, dimethyl adipate, glutaric acid, adipic acid, or mixtures thereof, and preferably also a specialized flash chamber to achieve a penetration split (60X-UW) of within ?20 mm/10 to 10 mm/10, a roll stability (D1831) of <30 mm/10, and a dropping point (D2265) of >240° C.

Abstract: Ester based industrial oils containing acid scavengers exhibit improved sludge performance when a minor amount of hydrocarbon oil is included in the formulation.

Abstract: A grease composition having low noise characteristics is prepared by shearing a mixture of a base oil and a thickener for a time sufficient to reduce substantially all of the thickener to particles below 500 microns in size; and then processing the sheared mixture to a grease.

Abstract: Lubricating oils exhibiting anti rust properties are obtained by adding to the lubricating oil an acidic anti rust additive and an acid scavenger such as carbodiimide, in a specific sequence.

Abstract: A lubricating oil formulation containing a major amount of a base oil of lubricating viscosity and a minor amount of additives comprising a combination of phenyl naphthyl amine, dimercaptothiadiazole or derivative thereof, and triazole or benzotriazole or derivative thereof, exhibiting enhanced resistance to oxidation.

Abstract: Lubricating oils of enhanced oxidation stability are obtained by adding to the lubricating oil a mixture comprising n-phenyl-1-naphthyl amine and an acid scavenger such as carbodiimide.

Abstract: A lubricant composition especially useful for saw guide use comprises a base oil composed of at least one synthetic ester and a thickener composed of a styrene-olefin copolymer dissolved in a vegetable oil. The thickener is present in an amount sufficient to provide the lubricant with a viscosity at 40.degree. C. of greater than about 100 cSt.
