  • Patent number: 6326336
    Abstract: A turbine lubricant consisting of (A) alkylated diphenylamine and/or phenylnaphthylamines, and (B) sulfurized olefins and/or sulfurized fatty acids and/or ashless dithiocarbamates and/or tetraalkylthiuram disulfides, with the balance containing (C) base oils characterized by very low sulfur contents (<0.03 wt %) and a high level of saturates (>90 volume %), and optionally (D) neutral rust inhibitors, show superior oxidative stability and provide adequate corrosion protection and sludge control for turbine oil and R&O oil applications.

  • Patent number: 6174842
    Abstract: There is disclosed a lubricating oil composition which contains from about 50 to 1000, preferably 50 to 500 parts per million of molybdenum from a molybdenum compound which is oil-soluble and substantially free of reactive sulfur, about 1,000 to 20,000, preferably 1,000 to 10,000 parts per million of a diarylamine and about 2,000 to 40,000 parts per million of a phenate. This combination of ingredients provides improved oxidation control and improved deposit control to the lubricating oil. The composition is particularly suited for use as a crankcase lubricant.

  • Patent number: 6034040
    Abstract: Lubricating oil compositions having excellent thermal and oxidative stability, wear control, copper corrosion control and compatibility with seal materials comprising a mineral oil having a) a Viscosity Index of greater than 110 and an aniline point of greater than 110.degree. C. and/or b) a linear+single ring paraffin content of greater than 68 wt %, and at least one polymer selected from olefin (co) polymer(s), polyalkyl (meth) acrylate(s) and mixtures thereof. The lubricating oil compositions are particularly useful as manual transmission and axle lubricants.

  • Patent number: 6001786
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to substantially liquid, chlorine-free, sulfur-bridged phenols useful as antioxidants and more specifically to the preparation of a substantially liquid, chlorine-free, sulfur-bridged, hindered phenol compositions, using 1-propanol as the reaction solvent, which are effective antioxidant(s) in lubricating oils and liquid organic fuels without causing excessive copper corrosion and which exhibit improved elastomer seal compatibility. The invention also includes lubricating oils and liquid organic fuels containing an antioxidant additive of the present invention, as well as a method of reducing oxidation in the lubricating oil or liquid organic fuel used in a machine such as an internal combustion engine.

  • Patent number: 5840672
    Abstract: This invention relates to antioxidant compositions comprising (A) at least one secondary diarylamine, (B) at least one sulfurized olefin and/or sulfurized hindered phenol, and (C) at least one oil soluble molybdenum compound. These antioxidant compositions are highly effective at providing oxidative stability to lubricating compositions, especially for highly saturated, low sulfur lubrication base oils.
