Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for delivering manganese from a lubricant source into a fuel combustion system or to the exhaust therefrom. By the present invention, manganese from the lubricant will interact with phosphorus, sulfur, and/or lead from the combustion products. In this manner, the manganese scavenges or inactivates harmful materials which have migrated into the fuel or combustion products, and which can otherwise poison catalytic converters, sensors and/or automotive on-board diagnostic devices. The present invention can also lead to improved durability of exhaust after treatment systems.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lubricating oil composition having improved antioxidant properties, and which contains a molybdenum compound and an alkylated phenothiazine. Further, it may also include a secondary diarylamine, preferably an alkylated diphenylamine. This combination of additives provides improved oxidation control and friction modifier performance to the lubricating oil. The composition is particularly suited for use as a crankcase lubricant, or a transmission lubricant, including low levels and zero levels of phosphorus.

Abstract: The invention relates to an improved process for producing organomolybdenum compositions with high molybdenum content that are highly useful as lubricant additives, in which the process involves reacting a fatty oil with a diamine, followed by reaction with a molybdenum source. The process of the present invention does not require a volatile organic solvent to promote molybdenum incorporation and produces an organomolybdenum composition having a high molybdenum content. In addition, the process can be conducted in the absence of sulfur and phosphorus-containing reactants.

Abstract: It has unexpectedly been found that the combination of (1) an alkylated diphenylamine, (2) a sulfurized olefin/fatty oil and/or an ashless dialkyldithiocarbamate, and (3) an alkylated phenothiazine, is highly effective at controlling crankcase lubricant oxidation and deposit formation. The present invention includes lubricating compositions, lubricating additives, and methods for improving the antioxidancy and/or deposit formation properties of a lubricating composition.

Abstract: Hindered tert-butylphenolic antioxidant compositions characterized by a low level of volatile and undesirable single-ring tert-butylphenolic antioxidants and a high level of non-volatile multi-ring (or methylene bridged) tert-butylphenolic antioxidants are obtained by reacting a specific mixture of ultra pure ortho-tert-butylphenol (OTBP), ultra pure 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol (DTBP) and formaldehyde in a solvent in the presence of catalyst. These antioxidants are further characterized by having a low level of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol, low levels of ortho-tert-butylphenol, and trace levels of 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol.

Abstract: Organophosphorus compounds are stabilized against decomposition during and after recovery from their synthesis reaction mixtures by the addition to the synthesis reaction mixture of at least 0.5% by weight of an acid scavenger, based on the weight of the organophosphorus compound, before allowing the organophosphorus compound to crystallize. The invention is of particular value in the stabilization of 2,2'-alkylidenebis(dialkylphenyl)fluorophosphonites, such as 2,2'-ethylidenebis(4,6-di-t-butylphenyl)fluorophosphite, which is rendered more suitable for use as a stabilizer for organic polymers, e.g., polycarbonates, by the practice of the invention.
