Abstract: A lubricating oil composition for gasoline and diesel internal combustion engines includes a major portion of an oil of lubricating viscosity; from 0.1 to 20.0% w/w of a component A which is a sulfurized, overbased calcium phenate detergent derived from distilled, hydrogenated cashew nut shell liquid; and from 0.1 to 10.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of sulphurized calcium phenate from cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL). Distilled or hydrogenated distilled CNSL is reacted with calcium salt and sulphur in the presence of promoters to obtain a reaction mixture. The reaction mixture is subjected to the step of carbonation to obtain basic sulfurized calcium phenate, which may be subjected to a further step of basefication to obtain overbased sulphurized calcium phenate. Such a calcium phenate is added to lubricating oil or grease as an additive.

Abstract: Magnesium borate overbased metallic detergent having magnesium borate uniformally dispersed in an extremely fine particle size is prepared by using magnesium alkoxide and boric acid. The process for preparation involves reacting neutral sulphonate of an alkaline earth metal with magnesium alkoxide and boric acid under anhydrous conditions in the presence of a dilution solvent followed by distillation to remove alcohol and part of dilution solvent therefrom. The borated mixture is then cooled, filtered to recover magnesium borated metal detergent. The magnesium borated metal detergent exhibited excellent cleaning and dispersing performance, very good hydrolytic and oxidation stability, good extreme pressure and antiwear properties. Such a detergent can advantageously be used in a hydrocarbon composition.
