Abstract: Methods of reducing particulate emissions from a gasoline engine by lubricating the gasoline engine with select calcium and magnesium-based lubricating oil compositions.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for improving phosphorus retention and improving antiwear performance in an internal combustion engine of a hybrid vehicle, comprising lubricating the internal combustion engine of the hybrid vehicle with a lubricating oil composition comprising: greater than 50 wt. % of a base oil of lubricating viscosity; and an amount of one or more zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate compound(s) sufficient to provide: from about 100 ppmw phosphorus to about 1000 ppmw phosphorus, based on a total weight of the lubricating oil composition; and from about 10 ppmw zinc to about 1200 ppmw zinc, based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition.

Abstract: Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engines require gasoline particulate filters (GPFs) as a key component of the emissions control system to reduce particulate emissions. GPFs are known to have poor initial performance, with performance increasing after the filter develops a cake. This poor initial performance make it impossible to accurately assess vehicle emissions performance at the mileage requirements for vehicle certification. Compositions and methods are disclosed to improve filtration efficiency in a fresh or low mileage GPF.

Abstract: Particulate filters are used to remove particulate matter such as soot and ash in the emissions control systems of vehicles, including gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines. Methods are provided to predict the long-term performance and durability of emissions control systems having particulate filters. The methods account for factors such as thermal aging, soot accumulation and regeneration, and ash loading.

Abstract: In order to blend fuels to meet specific regulatory and industry requirements, for instance octane requirements, different octane blending components can be used. One added component includes a composition of higher aromatics content. Unfortunately, this aromatic content may increase the particulate emissions of an internal combustion engine when the high aromatic fuel is combusted in that engine. As explained herein, reducing the aromatics content and replacing that octane increasing requirement with an alternative octane enhancer results in a formulated fuel that will have lower particulate emissions in the real-world driving of that engine as compared with a fuel having higher aromatic content.
