Abstract: Lubricant compositions comprising a base oil, one or more antioxidants selected from a group consisting of N-?-naphthyl-N-phenylamine antioxidants and diphenylamine antioxidants; and a sulfur-containing additive comprising up to seven carbon atoms exhibit outstanding oxidative stability and non-corrosion properties. The N-?-naphthyl-N-phenylamine antioxidants plus diphenylamine antioxidants in total may be present from about 0.2 wt % to about 0.8 wt %, based on the total weight of the lubricant composition. The sulfur provided by the sulfur-containing additive may be present from about 50 ppm to about 1000 ppm by weight, based on the total weight of the lubricant composition.

Abstract: A lubricant composition includes a base oil and one or more alkylethercarboxylic acid corrosion inhibitor(s) having the formula; In this formula, R is a straight or branched chain C6-C18 alkyl group and n is a number of from 0 to 5. The lubricant composition can be utilized in a method for reducing corrosion of a steel article. The method includes the steps of providing the base oil and providing the one or more alkylethercarboxylic acid corrosion inhibitor(s). The method also includes the step of combining the base oil and the one or more alkylethercarboxylic acid corrosion inhibitor(s) to form the lubricant composition including less than about 0.1 weight percent of the one or more alkylethercarboxylic acid corrosion inhibitor(s). The method further includes the step of applying the lubricant composition to the steel article wherein the steel article passes corrosion testing according to ASTM D 665 B.

Abstract: The instant invention provides a lubricant composition having improved four-ball antiwear properties. The lubricant composition includes a base oil and one or more alkylethercarboxylic acid corrosion inhibitor(s) having the formula: wherein R is a straight or branched chain C6-C18 alkyl group and n is a number of from 0 to 5. The lubricant composition also includes an ashless antiwear additive including phosphorous. The four-ball antiwear properties are reported as an average diameter of wear scars pursuant to ASTM D4172. The average diameter of the wear scars resulting from the lubricant composition are at least 5% smaller than the average diameter of the wear scars resulting from a standard that includes the base oil and the antiwear additive and that is free of the one or more alkylethercarboxylic acid corrosion inhibitor(s).

Abstract: A lubricant composition is suitable for use in diesel engines and is resistant to degradation by oxidative by-products of biodiesel fuel. The composition includes (A) a base oil, (B) at least one diphenylamine antioxidant, and (C) at least one antioxidant. The antioxidant (C) is selected from the group consisting of a sulfur containing phenolic antioxidant, a phenyl-alpha-naphthylamine antioxidant, and combinations thereof. The lubricant composition is formed using a method. In the method, the (A) base oil has an initial oxidation value measured according to ASTM D 6186. In addition in the method, the lubricant composition includes up to about 6 wt % of the biodiesel fuel and has a final oxidation value measured according to ASTM D 6186 that is equal to or greater than the initial oxidation value of the (A) base oil.

Abstract: The invention relates to liquid sulphur-containing antioxidants and to compositions comprising them. The novel lubricant compositions comprise the reaction product of a selected group of 5-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-3-methyl(or tert-butyl)phenyl substituted carboxylic acid esters with thiodiethylene glycol and a mono-hydroxy alcohol with a carbon chain length higher than 4 C-atoms. The novel lubricant compositions are highly resistant to oxidative degradation and are capable of reducing the negative effects of deposits, such as black sludge, in motor combustion engines, particularly spark ignition internal combustion engines.
