Abstract: The present invention relates to a lubricating composition comprising: (a) an oil of lubricating viscosity having a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of 2.8 to 3.6 cSt (mm2/s) and a viscosity index of 104 to 130; (b) 1.2 to 5.0 wt % of at least one borated dispersant, wherein at least one borated dispersant is further functionalised with a sulphur or phosphorus moiety; (c) a calcium-containing detergent present in an amount to deliver at least 110 ppm to 700 ppm of calcium; (d) at least two phosphorus-containing compounds present in an amount to deliver 360 to 950 ppm of phosphorus; and (e) 0.1 wt % to 5 wt % of a linear polymer viscosity modifier having dispersant functionality. The invention further provides a method of lubricating a transmission with the lubricating composition disclosed wherein.
