Abstract: Provided are a lubricating engine oil and a method of improving wear protection in an engine lubricated with such lubricating oil. The method includes using as the lubricating oil a formulated oil comprising a lubricating oil base stock as a major component, an antiwear additive as a first minor component, and carbon nanoplatelets as a second minor component.
