Abstract: A composition of the reaction product of (a) an isobutylene-diene copolymer having thereon groups containing carboxylic acid functionality or reactive equivalent thereof, derived from an ?,?-unsaturated carboxylic compound; and (b) an amine component comprising at least one aromatic amine containing at least one N—H group capable of condensing with said carboxylic acid functionality, is a useful dispersant viscosity modifier.

Abstract: Reaction of a carboxylic acid-containing polymer with certain aromatic amines and polyols results in ester containing dispersant viscosity modifiers with improved soot handling performance in heavy-duty diesel engines, compared with non-ester containing dispersants.

Abstract: An interpolymer composition comprising monomer-derived units of (i) at least one of an aliphatic olefin containing from 2 to 30 carbon atoms and a vinyl aromatic monomer, and (ii) at least one alpha, beta-unsaturated acylating agent; wherein a portion of said acylating agent monomers is esterified and wherein a portion of said acylating agent monomers is condensed with at least one aromatic amine, provides good viscosity modification and dispersancy performance.

Abstract: A dispersant composition comprising the product of an amine, an alcohol, or an amino alcohol, with a hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydride component exhibits improved viscosity stability and reduced chlorine content, when the hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydride component comprises: (a) 10 to 95 weight percent of a component prepared by reacting a polyisobutylene with maleic anhydride in the presence of chlorine; and (b) 5 to 90 weight percent of a component prepared by reacting a polyisobutylene with maleic anhydride in the substantial absence of chlorine.

Abstract: A succinimide dispersant comprising the condensation product of a hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydride or reactive equivalent thereof with an alkylene polyamine, wherein the alkylene polyamine is a condensed amine, exhibits improved viscometrics.

Abstract: A composition of the reaction product of (a) an isobutylene-diene copolymer having thereon groups containing carboxylic acid functionality or reactive equivalent thereof, derived from an ?,?-unsaturated carboxylic compound; and (b) an amine component comprising at least one aromatic amine containing at least one N—H group capable of condensing with said carboxylic acid functionality, is a useful dispersant viscosity modifier.

Abstract: Lubricant compositions comprising (a) an oil of lubricating viscosity; and (b) at least one non-metal-containing additive, comprising a nitrogen-containing dispersant having a total base number of at least about 90 are useful for lubricating an internal combustion engine. The lubricants have less than 1.0% sulfated ash and a total base number of at least about 8.5, and at least 30% of the total base number of the composition is provided by non-metal-containing additives. The lubricants exhibit a high TBN without deterioration of elastomeric seals.

Abstract: Reaction of a carboxylic acid-containing polymer with certain aromatic amines results in dispersant viscosity modifiers with improved soot handling performance in heavy-duty diesel engines, compared with reaction with non-aromatic amines.

Abstract: A dispersant composition comprising the product of an amine, an alcohol, or an amino alcohol, with a hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydride component exhibits improved viscosity stability and reduced chlorine content, when the hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydride component comprises: (a) 10 to 95 weight percent of a component prepared by reacting a polyisobutylene with maleic anhydride in the presence of chlorine; and (b) 5 to 90 weight percent of a component prepared by reacting a polyisobutylene with maleic anhydride in the substantial absence of chlorine.

Abstract: A lubricating oil composition containing in combination an acylating agent substituted with a polymer of an alkene with 6 to 40 carbon atoms and an acylating agent substituted with polyisobutylene provides improved viscometric properties for dispersants used in internal combustion engines.
