Abstract: The present invention provides a lubricating composition comprising: (a) an oil of lubricating viscosity; and (b) a crosslinked polymer derived from monomers comprising: (i) 0.001 wt % to 7 wt % of a di- or higher functional crosslinking monomer; (ii) 30 wt % or higher of a hydrocarbyl-substituted (meth)acrylic monomer, wherein each hydrocarbyl contains greater than 8 carbon atoms; and (iii) 0 wt % to 40 wt % of a hydrocarbyl-substituted (meth)acrylic monomer, wherein each hydrocarbyl contains 8 or fewer carbon atoms. The invention further provides a method of preparing the crosslinked polymer and its use in a lubricating composition for lubricating an internal combustion engine.

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: The hydrolytic stability of magnesium overbased products is significantly improved by the addition or inclusion of a mixture or reaction product of an alkylphenol resin with a mixture of an alkenyl succinic anhydride and the acid thereof, and an alkyl amine. These magnesium overbased products are useful additives to fuel oils to improve their corrosion-causing tendencies. In one non-limiting embodiment, the alkylphenol resin is nonylphenol resin and the succinic anhydride is a partially hydrolyzed succinic anhydride having from 14 to 26 carbon atoms, along with the acid thereof. The mixtures and reaction products also serve as asphaltene inhibitors in the fuel oils.

Abstract: An oil-soluble lubricating oil additive composition prepared by the process which comprises reacting a copolymer, with at least one polyether aromatic compound, and with at least one polyether aliphatic compound.

Abstract: An oil-soluble lubricating oil additive composition prepared by the process which comprises reacting a copolymer, with at least one polyether aromatic compound.

Abstract: A process for preparing an oligomeric phenolic detergent composition comprising contacting an oil soluble alkylphenol with an alkaline earth metal base, an alpha amino acid, and a C1 to C6 aldehyde, in the in the presence of a C2 to C6 alkylene glycol and a C2 to C4 carboxylic acid; and reacting under reactive conditions at a temperature of from 150° C. to 225° C. The oligomeric phenolic detergent product can be employed in a lubricating oil.

Abstract: A salicylate is disclosed, which has detergent and anti-oxidant properties, for use as a metal based detergent additive. An alkyl salicylic acid is derived from the alkylation of salicylic acid with styrene. The neutralization and subsequent overbasing of neutral salt results in an alkaline detergent, such as calcium or magnesium salicylate. The resulting detergent is a salicylic acid having multi-styrenated chains, which provide oil solubility. A method for making such a detergent is also disclosed.

Abstract: Lubricating oil compositions providing superior soot dispersing characteristics, which contain a combination of a high molecular weight dispersant and a soot dispersant comprising a linked aromatic oligomer.
