Abstract: The lubricating oil used to lubricate diesel engines is stabilized against the detrimental degradation effects of biodiesel fuel by the addition to the lubricating oil of an additive concentrate comprising a premix of a first antioxidant, a second antioxidant of a type different from the first and an organometallic compound.

Abstract: Lubricating oil used for the lubrication of engines run on biodiesel fuels are improved in their resistance to oxidation, sludge and deposits formation by the addition to said lubricating oil of detergent to increase the TBN of the lubricating oil or the addition of organic bases.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to method of making a green lubricant composition having improved wear protection and reduced phosphorus emissions.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to green lubricant compositions comprising a base oil and an effective amount of premixed additives that improve wear protection and reduce phosphorus emissions.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to lubricating oils exhibiting improved resistance to oxidation and deposit/sludge formation comprising a lubricant base oil and catalytic antioxidants comprising an effective amount of a) one or more polymetal organometallic compound; and, b) effective amounts of one or more substituted N,N?-diaryl-o-phenylenediamine compounds or c) one or more hindered phenol compounds or both, to a method for improving the antioxidancy and the resistance to deposit/sludge formation of formulated lubricating oil compositions by the addition thereto of an effective amount of the aforementioned catalytic antioxidants, and to an additive concentrate containing the aforementioned catalytic antioxidants.

Abstract: Periodically heating a soot containing engine lubricant to a temperature in the range of about 115° C. to about 150° C. is effective in controlling soot induced viscosity increase of the lubricant. The period at which heating is conducted may be a function of the number of hours the engine has been operated or it may be based on the oil condition.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for controlling soot induced viscosity increase in diesel engines, by using as the diesel engine lubricant an oil formulation comprising a base oil containing about 10 to 80 wt % GTL base stock and/or base oil and/or hydrodewaxed or hydroisomerized/catalytic (or solvent) dewaxed base stock and/or base oil in combination with 20 to 90 wt % conventional Group I petroleum derived base oil, said base oil being further combined with a polymeric viscosity modifier, and to the lubricating oil which effects such control over soot induced viscosity increase.
