Abstract: A lubricating oil composition having a sulphated ash content of less than or equal to 1.2 mass % as determined by ASTM D874 and a phosphorous content of less than or equal to 0.12 mass % as determined by ASTM D5185, which lubricating oil composition comprises or is made by admixing: an oil of lubricating viscosity, in a major amount; an oil-soluble or oil-dispersible polymeric friction modifier as an additive in an effective minor amount; and, at least one oil-soluble or oil-dispersible molybdenum compound as an additive in an effective minor amount.
Abstract: Concentrates containing specific functionalized diblock copolymers serve as effective additives for improving the cold flow behavior of fuels and oils, the copolymers being derived from a terminally-unsaturated intermediate polymer obtained via a metallocene process involving hydrogen.

Abstract: A lubricating oil composition comprising, or made by mixing, a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity and a minor amount of at least one compound comprising a polynuclear molybdenum core having bonded thereto one or more monoanionic ligands capable of rendering the compound oil-soluble or oil-dispersible, and further comprising at least one ionic species that is not required to confer oil-solubility or oil-dispersibility to the compound, wherein the combination of said one or more monoanionic ligands and said at least one ionic species confers electrical neutrality to the compound and wherein the ratio of the number of molybdenum atoms in the core to the number of said ligands is greater than 1:1.
