Disclosed is a method for reducing corrosion in a hybrid engine. The method includes the steps of lubricating a hybrid engine with a lubricating oil composition having a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity; a minor amount of a salicylate detergent derived from an isomerized normal alpha olefin; and a minor amount of a dispersant.

The present invention relates to the use of a lubricant composition comprising (i) at least one boron derivative; and (ii) at least one base oil, for preventing and/or reducing pre-ignition, in particular at low speed, in a vehicle engine, wherein said composition is used during at least one change interval without the addition of a new lubricant composition, the content of boron in the composition being between 150 ppm and 350 ppm by weight.

A rubber friendly lubricant composition adapted for lubricating the cable in a greaseless down hole logging process including a general formulation: polypropylene glycol, poly alkylene glycol; amine borate; 1,3,4-Thiadiazolidine-2,5-dithione, disodium salt; and, deionized water. The lubricant being compatible with seals and rubbers, and other related materials, used on trucks and other oil field vehicles and equipment. Being water soluble, the lubricant also presents a low potential for fire risk, and is considered environmentally friendly. The lubricant also exhibiting superior freeze properties.

A lubricant composition is provided containing an oil of lubricating viscosity and a substantially sulfur-free alkyl phosphate amine salt, where at least 30 mole percent of the phosphorus atoms are in an alkyl pyrophosphate salt structure, along with either or both of a conventional phosphorous containing antiwear additive and a glycerol ester. In the phosphate amine salt, at least 80 mole percent of the alkyl groups are typically secondary alkyl groups of 3 to 12 carbon atoms. A method of improving wear over a wide temperature range in a mechanical device is also provided by employing the lubricant composition.
