Abstract: A lubricating composition with improved shear stability having a kinematic viscosity (Kv100) from 5 to 32.5 cSt at 100° C., and a viscosity index from 140 to 200. The lubricating composition includes: a bi-modal blend lubricating oil including from 20 to 99 weight percent of a low viscosity basestock having a Kv100 from 2 to 8 cSt at 100° C., and from 1 to 20 weight percent of a high viscosity basestock having a Kv100 from 40 to 600 cSt at 100° C.; a viscosity modifier including a copolymer having units derived from monomers of (i) an ?-olefin and (ii) an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or derivatives thereof esterified with an alcohol; and an alkylated aromatic co-base stock in an amount from 1 to 8 weight percent and having a Kv100 from 3 to 15 cSt at 100° C.

Abstract: A lubricating composition including a first base stock component including: one or more metallocene catalyzed polyalphaolefins (mPAOs), each mPAO having a kinematic viscosity (Kv100) from 40 cSt to 155 cSt and a viscosity index (VI) from 150 to 207; a second base stock including one or more polyalphaolefins (PAOs), each PAO having a kinematic viscosity (Kv100) less than 10 cSt and a VI from 130 to 145; and a viscosity modifier including a copolymer having units derived from monomers of (i) an ?-olefin and (ii) an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or derivatives thereof esterified with an alcohol. A lubricant including the above lubricating composition. A method for improving fuel efficiency, while maintaining or improving wear control, load carrying capacity and/or traction reduction in a driveline device, e.g., gears and transmissions, lubricated with a lubricating oil, by using as the lubricating oil the above lubricant.

Abstract: This invention relates to a lubricating composition comprising a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity, at least one organic polysulfide comprising less than about 88% dihydrocarbyl trisulfide, from up to about 5% dihydrocarbyl disulfide, and more than about 7 wt. % dihydrocarbyl higher polysulfides, and at least one phosphorus or boron compound, or mixtures of two or more thereof. The invention also relates to concentrates and greases containing the above combination. The invention also relates to methods of making the organic polysulfide.
